Third_Degree Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Here is the relevant code to my problem. I know it's a lot, and if you don't feel like reading it I understand. <style type="text/css"> #slideshow { width:635px; height:455px; z-index:1; } #main { background-image:url('1.jpg'); width:635px;

However, this is not good enough for my brother (my non-paying client...). I've tried all manner of increment the height and width of the placediv and captdiv elements with setInterval and setTimeout, but to no avail. This is basically a shameless ask for help. Could someone show me what I need to do in order to have the captions slide up/down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abazoskib Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 can you show a working example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
