For Each Question

[J.Evans.1970]

I never used JavaScript before and am not sure how to do something. I
am a programmer and use VBScript, so I am familiar with programming
terminology - just not javascript.

I found some cool free code on the internet for a slide show on a
website and want to modify it. In the script it appears to require you
to enter each picture directly. What I would like to do is use a for
each...next loop and create a slideshow for each picture in the folder.
Would someone here mind explaining the correct way to do this? The
code to add an individual picture is below. I just need to know how to
modify it.

Thanks!

s = new slide();
s.src =
"http://www.freewebs.com/hannahshope/images/HannahCoulterLR.jpg";
s.text = unescape("");
s.link = "";
s.target = "";
s.attr = "";
s.filter = "";
SLIDES.add_slide(s);

What folder? Is that a script used on the server with classic ASP?
Client-side script in the browser (whether it is JavaScript or VBScript
does not matter) usually does not have access to the file system to find
folders or files in folders.

This is untested but should get you started even if it's not perfect.

var slide_src = new Array(
'http://www.freewebs.com/hannahshope/images/HannahCoulterLR.jpg',
'http://some.other.domain/pic.jpg',
etc
);
for(i=0;i<slide_src.length;i++) {
s = new slide();
s.src = slide_src;
s.text = unescape("");
s.link = "";
s.target = "";
s.attr = "";
s.filter = "";
SLIDES.add_slide(s);
}
