Scroller that will work with XWD6?

**gophigure2** · 21 February 2011, 07:32 PM

In the past, with MS Front Page & Adobe DreamWeaver, I have used a little program from ******* that builds a JS scroller to insert in a webpage. It needs to place image folders & script folders into the web site as well as code within the HTML page itself. I don't see any way of doing that with XWD6. First question, is there a way to do this and, secondly, if not is there a scroller widget that will work?

I have used ******* javascrypt scroller with good effect

I took it off my site so cannot show it in action but its simple to implement and use.

I really wish the moderator would not ****** out any product names. After all, we're just trying to make Xara products work better. No way I can look up the product you are referring to because of the *******. Which makes me want to say #@%$!

I suspect this is to do with "s>o>think" - yeah? That word/name has been censored automatically for years because of a spammer of that name. So it's not the current mods at fault.

You can always link with TinyUrl tho http://tinyurl.com/6g4r7eq

Thanks so much for that info. I got my nose out of joint for no reason.

And, since that is the same brand of scroller I've been using, I need to go back to TimBox & ask how you did that. It seems like there are a bunch of folders and scripts, and the XWD6 method of copying & pasting doesn't seem to work on it. Unless I'm trying to paste the wrong file or don't know how to get the output I need from the scroller program.

Usually when we mess with your posts you will see a message at the bottom of your post saying last edited by and the name of the person who edited your post.

That was the first place I looked.

Hi,

there are several ways to do this. You can use jQuery plugins for different sliders with XD or WD6. Search (google) for "Easyslider" "JQuery S3 Slider" "JQuery Fancy Image" "SlideDeck" there are tons of them ;-) on the web.

You can use a <head> placeholder to integrate Java script source in the head area of your site (search for <head> placeholder). Then you online have to integrate the slider via rectangle as placeholder in which you put the html code as placeholder.

You can put the code [here for Esayslider 1.7] in <div> like sample here:

<div id="slider">
<ul>
<li><a href="" target=""><img src="images/a5.jpg" border="0" alt=""></a></li>
<li><a href="" target=""><img src="images/a1.jpg" border="0" alt=""></a></li>
<li><a href="" target=""><img src="images/a2.jpg" border="0" alt=""></a></li>
<li><a href="" target=""><img src="images/a3.jpg" border="0" alt=""></a></li>
<li><a href="" target=""><img src="images/a4.jpg" border="0" alt=""></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

Code for head placeholder (name <head> ):

<script type="text/javascript" src="jsslider/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jsslider/easySlider1.7.js"></script>
<link href="jsslider/screen.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen">
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#slider").easySlider({
auto: true,

You must put the neccesary jQuery files fo your (local) hmtl folder and upload them also later.

There is also another way:

You can integrate the slider as separate html.doc also via iframe:

<iframe name=myframe src=URL [replace with slider.html] width=100% height=100% scrolling=no frameborder=0></iframe>

One of the most easiest ways to make with less JS knowledge sliders is to use this webeditor http://tinyurl.com/yqead5 which comes with tons of extensions to very easy integrate effects and modules which you can integrate via iframe or <div> into XD or WD6. You can take a overview for the extensions here:

(Please note that I do not want make promotion for this software. I only want demonstrate this as a easy way for integrate several extensions into XARA. Thus this program can not compare to Xara design possibilities in any way ;-))

When I have used MS Front Page and Adobe DreamWeaver, I have inserted JS and image files & folders and all that because you have direct access to the html files and file tree. What I am missing completely with XWD6 is how to access the html files and the file tree in order to do this.
