Hi people
I am creating a dynamic xml gallery (with slideshow) with navigation buttons (next & back buttons)
I have included a dropdown menu for users to navigate to and fro
Somehow I managed to make the dropdown links work
but here are 2 issues I am facing
- it takes 15 secs for ‘screen 1’ to fade to ‘screen 2’ and so on but when i load a certain screen using the dropdown combobox,
the screens started to fade to the next screen really quickly, like within 2 seconds(it is supposed to be 15 secs) - i have certain buttons disabled when i am at the first and last screen. ‘previous’ button is disabled for first screen and
‘next’ button is disabled for the last screen. so now, when i use the dropdown to select a screen, certain buttons are wrongly disabled.
example: 1st screen has its ‘next’ button disabled so users are not able to move forward.
Can someone please help look through my codes and see what is wrong?
thanks!
