I was aware that a few of the images were running wild :D Once I get my layout, then I go back and put a short leash on all the images. Yes G'kar, I was messing with it around that time. It will be hit or miss for the next few days. One question tho, I can not get it to load on my samsung(Android) phone(4g) and I am under the impression that it is timeing out due to the large image sizes? After I get my images under control, Is this where Responsive Layout Maker can help make things even better?

Yes RLM is very good although I don't think this is what is causing you the issues. I think most of your problems here are because of your large image sizes. Keep in mind when you resize images within VSD you are really not reducing the size of the image you are just telling it what display size to use. When someone goes on your site it loads the full size of the image regardless of your width="?" height="?" .

You'll need a new version on JQery Cycle or a different slider that's responsive.
This ones pretty easy.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Eric,
I downloaded woothemes, and replaced the two .js files. Then I changed the code, per the website: Now sure what I did wrong. :(

FROM:
$('#slideshow').cycle({
fx: 'fade',
timeout: 2000,
speed: 2000,
autostop: 1,

});


TO:
$(window).load(function() {
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
animation: "slide"
});
});

Where did you place your images?
The code has them here. http://test.dtscarpentry.com/jqueryslid … _add_1.jpg
Remove all the files associated with cycle.
I would place an html box on a new blank page to do your testing then you can copy the html box to your finished page once it's working.

Ok, well I got this back to 'working' order. I am yet to put Eric's suggestion of flexslider in place, sadly I can not seem to understand how to do this. :(

Hi Marc,

To include the changing of the JS snippets, did you also make the HTML changes for the Flexslider?

For example, this is what I currently see within your page:
Note: There's broken anchor tag within this area too.
You'll see a '</a>' near the closing of the #slideshow div.

<div id="slideshow" class="pics">
<img src="jqueryslideshow/1_add_1.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 1" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/2_add_2.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 2" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/3_add_3.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 3" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/4_dealer_b4_1.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 4" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/5_dealer_b4_2.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 1" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/6_dealer_b4_3.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 2" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/7_Ellington_b4_1.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 3" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/8_Ellington_b4_2.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 4" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/9_Ellington_after_1.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 1" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/10_Ellington_after_2.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 2" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/11_fireplace.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 3" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/12_garage_start.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 4" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/13_garage_b4.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 4" width="450" height="433" />
<img src="jqueryslideshow/14_garage_after.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 4" width="450" height="433" />
</a>
</div>


Flexslider would need something like:

<div id="slideshow" class="pics flexslider">
<ul class="slides">
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/1_add_1.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 1" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/2_add_2.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 2" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/3_add_3.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 3" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/4_dealer_b4_1.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 4" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/5_dealer_b4_2.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 1" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/6_dealer_b4_3.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 2" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/7_Ellington_b4_1.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 3" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/8_Ellington_b4_2.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 4" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/9_Ellington_after_1.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 1" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/10_Ellington_after_2.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 2" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/11_fireplace.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 3" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/12_garage_start.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 4" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/13_garage_b4.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 4" width="450" height="433" /></li>
<li><img src="jqueryslideshow/14_garage_after.jpg" alt="Slideshow Image 4" width="450" height="433" /></li>
</ul>
</div>

Hi Marc,
Just took a look and I don't see jQuery being included/loaded. That seems to be the main error right now.
Make sure jQuery is being added prior to the flexslider include.

Obviously, I am not a code person. One the outside this stuff is intimidating and seems complex, but when you dig into it, it is not too bad. There are way too many ways to goof it up tho.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
