slideshow from live folder

Hi,

firstly, im new here so Hi to everyone :)

i am a VBA programmer rather than an asp programmer but i have been enrolled by a friend to help him out. i need to make an asp page that shows only a slideshow at full size but the images to to be updated live i.e. the slideshow will run continuously and when new images are added to the folder, they will be included in the slideshow.

i thought that a backend .mdb would suffice to hold the image info as its created through Access. the asp page would then i guess, create a list of images from the .mdb and show them so i think a function would be required.

Could anybody give me any pointers or point me in the right direction to assist me in achieving this? i have little knowledge of ASP but im a quick learner :)

thanks

Re: slideshow from live folder

You can select a shared Skydive folder where your images are... on the rhs of that page you will find a list of options.... select the Embed option to generate the html markup that you can use to copy and paste to your web page to embed a slide show in your website.

Hi I don't have a sky drive and the website is not accessible over the Internet, it's only available through wireless network :) Cheers AB

Hi,

instead of asp, try with asp.net
u need: jquery (json), webservice(asmx)
and ping the server(asmx) using ajax for every time interval for new imgs list(json).

check this jquery plugins for slideshow:
