var dropimages=new Array()
//SET IMAGE PATHS. Extend or contract array as needed

yes, nicely done.  works at http://www.ps3hax.com

How large of an image can one use with this?? 360x400?

I've been playing around with it in a center block... you can go larger in the center of course.
A mix of sizes are being used, so far the largest image used is 480x640 and it looks OK and is still able to fit the whole page into a 15 inch monitor.
I need to go back and use images that are all close to the same size to make the whole thing look better.

You can take a look at the result here.

Looks really kool..
I wanted to display some of the Champs on here. ---
There all about the same size, 300x500..could be a bit bigger..IMO!

I'm trying this in a center block. How can I center up the slide show inside the block?

Thanks!

Hi
first thanks for sharing this with us. I have a question, where it says:
dropimages[0]="IMAGE1"
dropimages[1]="IMAGE2"
dropimages[2]="IMAGE3"

Should I put the link to the image that i wnt to be displayed?Thank you

[rumboogy]

Hey...is there a way to make this a RANDOM slideshow. Can the code be tweaked to make it select the images in a random order? This is really a pretty nice piece of code.

Thanks,

Wally
