Hello,

I am trying to create a rotating picture slideshow within dreamweaver 8 on my company's site. Does anyone have any information to help me out?

Thank you!

check out the demos for all of them and pick the one you want <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hi, I looked at the page suggested above and selected the Translucent Slide Show and copy and pasted the code into Dreamweaver. I made the edits for img size and linked to images within Dreamweaver. However, when I preview the site, it is a blank page and when I run a validation in Dreamweaver I get the following messages within my code:

I am a very newbie (ie: inexperienced, but willing to try) coder and I appreciate any help that anyone can provide.
