I am building a Website in FrontPage 2002. Can I make a scrolling photo
album that runs about 6 images across the bottom of the main frame with a
PowerPoint slide show? Is there a better program to use that is freeware?
I would suggest using Javascript. It may be rather diffcult to *scroll* an
image, but you can certainly rotate, say 6 images.
Below is a script from The JavaScript Source which I have amended slightly.
It has 3 images and (in this test) each of them rotates one of 2 images.
With appropriate changes, it could have
6 images rotating, each with its own set of images, continously
or it could have a set of 6 images and each image could rotate:
1->6, 6->5, 5->4, 4->3, 3->2, 2->1, continously
or 6 changes
blank->6, 6->5, 5->4, 4->3, 3->2, 2->1
blank->5, 5->4, 4->3, 3->2, 2->1
blank->4, 4->3, 3->2, 2->1
blank->3, 3->2, 2->1
blank->2, 2->1
blank->1
Code follows
