I am putting together a website for my new company and am by no means a web programmer.

That being said here is my problem. I am using a slideshow script that I got from http://www.codelifter.com/main/javas...lideshow2.html

It works reasonably well for our purposes. However, everytime I load a new page within my site it restarts the script at the beginning of the image array (currently six images that it is cycling through) . If you load the page wait 8 seconds for the image to change and then click through to another page on the site it will re-load the script and reset the counter causing the slideshow to jump back to image one in the sequence. See exmple:

http://www.realscan3d.com/testing/slideshowtest/

What we need it to do is to continue on in the sequence of images independent of the pages loading. I have accomplished this using framesets. This way the script loads once and is never refreshed. Problem solved right? Not quite, now I am getting a white background everytime the frames page is refreshed. Since my webpage uses a black background this looks very unprofessional. And as far as I know there is no way to specify the background color of a frames page.

See example:

http://www.realscan3d.com/testing/frames/

My question is: Is there any way to either force the frames page to have a black background or modify this script to load the same image that it is currently on in the array into the newly loaded page?

I hope this is descriptive enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated since we have become pretty attached to this crossfading effect. Thanks for you help.

Sincerely,
Joel

Hi,

I haven't looked at the script, but here's a thought. Why don't you set a cookie to contain the current slide number. Then when the next page opens it could check the value of the cookie and start the slide show from that place in the array.
