Here is a cheat that may work fine for you.
On the first page of “slide show” within Head section insert <META HHTP-EQUIV= “REFRESH” content=”n; URL=nextpage.html”>
n is equal to the number of seconds before refreshing to next page of “slide show”
Each image gets it’s own page.
Each Page can have a different Delay time.
Make sure the delay time is high enough so image can load completely.
Hope this helps,
Todd

This would be a bit
better suited to the devel list, so I set the reply-to for that...
One of the best tools for handling the type of display you're looking for would
be SVG, which is a standard for vector graphics that incorporates much of the
SMIL animation features (making it comparable to the proprietary Flash format
for animation). What you could do with SVG is either place each image in
a small SVG wrapper that specifies a delay before displaying the image, or
place them all in one SVG that displays each according to the delays you
want. Either would accomplish your goal.
SMIL is a great standard for time-based manipulation of web pages, but it's not
really supported in browsers yet, SVG at least has some plugin support.
If you need maximum portability, then the previous poster's suggestion to use
JavaScript is the best solution, but it'll take a bit of work, and you need to
warn visitors that JavaScript is required, since many turn those features off
to avoid overly aggressive content (i.e. spyware/adware/overlay ads/pop-under
ads, etc...)

Can anyone suggest some good (efficient) options for getting simple questions answered pertaining to building websites? I've built a lot of websites for my own use, and learned a lot in the process, but when I can't figure out how to do certain things, sometimes searching the 'net finds a solution, but sometimes it doesn't. I'm assuming that it may be considered off-topic to post questions on this topic on the plug-discuss forum, so can anyone recommend a similar type of forum where one can ask questions and get answers? No doubt there are some html experts among plug members, but I did not find anything on the plug website that lists and describes members' abilities and professional services offers, etc. Just as an example, I'll mention one of my current questions, which is: How can one control the sequence and timing of image displays on a website so that a first designated image displays, then a slight delay, then the next designated image displays below that, then another, etc. joe@actionline.com ---------------------------------------------------PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.usTo subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings:http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
