July 24, 201412 yr Hi, Hoping you can help. I am designing a website for my auntie once she passes her driving instructor test. I have used a teplate so far, and am currently paddin gout and customising it The site is www.test.lintonlearners.co.uk I want the main image ot be a sliding banner, the problem i am facing is that everything ive tried sets the slideshow above the menu I would really appreciate your views on the leat complicated method to do it?
July 24, 201412 yr Hi. When you say the main image, do you mean image 013.jpg? You have that set as a background image to the header, so it will always show behind the text you have in your header div. If you want it to be a slideshow you need to place a script below the header to run it.
July 24, 201412 yr Author Thanks for the reply. Yes i wanted have a slideshow of a few images where 0.13jpg is. I tried using the script i found here: http://blog.crondesign.com/2012/01/free-javascript-for-rotating-website.html i got that working but it would always show above the menu. Is there a better script to use? Or am i just not getting it at all. Thanks for you time again
July 25, 201412 yr In the past I have used scripts from here http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/index.html and they were always good. Your site doesn't appear to have a slide show script of holding image on there at the moment, so I can't tell what was wrong. Your image 013.jpg is a background image not a slide show.
July 25, 201412 yr One possible way around this would be to implement a slideshow onto the site and position the Menu over the top of it. To do this you would need to play with the z-index and positioning http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_z-index.asp Just remember "Note: z-index only works on positioned elements (position:absolute, position:relative, or position:fixed)" Edited July 25, 201412 yr by junior
July 25, 201412 yr Author ok, think i need to play around for a while with both ways. thanks for you help. Wish me luck
