I'm new to JavaScript and I'm trying to get a slideshow working in my website. I'm following this tutorial: http://www.queness.com/post/1450/jquery-photo-slide-show-with-slick-caption-tutorial-revisited
Unfortunately it doesn't go into a beginners level of detail as to how to get it installed. I know what开发者_开发问答 I should do with the HTML and the CSS but I'm not sure where I should be putting the JavaScript. Does it go in a separate file or something? How do I get it to work?
Also I'm trying to do this within cakephp so if there's any specific cakey thing I can do that'd be awesome!
Copy all that JavaScript on your referenced page. Save to a new file slide.js
or something like that.
Edit your HTML document to include a reference to the jQuery libraby, and that new JavaScript file you've just created:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/slide.js" />
You can put JavaScript in an external file with a .js
extension, and include that in an HTML page using the script
tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="yourscript.js"></script>
Alternatively, you can write the script directly in the script
element:
<script type="text/javascript">
//Your script here
</script>
Also note that as the tutorial you are following uses jQuery, you will need to download and include the jQuery library in your page.
The script
tags can be placed anywhere in the document, but are usually found inside the head
tag, or just before the closing body
tag.
Welcome on SO Helen.
That script uses the jQuery library so you have to also include that. http://jquery.com/
JavaScript can best be placed in seperate file with the extension .js
Add the javascript files just before the </body>
tag on your page like:
<script src="/js/jquery/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery/jquery-slideshow2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
