How do i set up a photo that will fade into multiple other photos

[Trevor L.]

Yes, good question (although it is etiquette to place the question in the
body)

I did it once, but removed it after I found it only works in IE.

Now I've decided:
Well why not use it - at least more visitors will see it than not

I am now having trouble remembering the syntax

Somehing like
document.images['Image'].style.filter="blendTrans(duration=2)"
document.images['Image'].style.filter="blendTrans(duration=crossFadeDuration)"
document.images['Image'].filters.blendTrans.Apply()
document.images['Image'].filters.blendTrans.Play()

But where do it put it ?

I'll be interested to hear answers from the experts

You can try using some javascript to do this, but it's probably something
that is best done in Macromedia flash in order to get the fade effects done
right. There's a program out called Swish that will let you make a Flash
animation and it's a lot cheaper than Flash. I prefer using Flash over a
JavaScript because with Flash you can compress all the images inside it to
avoid taking too long to load. Photos become a big drag on bandwidth because
any decent quality photo is still a pretty good size file, and more than a
couple and it really begins to slow down a normal page. For Javascripts, try
javascript.internet.com or www.dynamicdrive.com You might have better luck
with scripts that perform sliding maneuvers since they have a better chance
of working cross-platform (such as the script at:
