Slideshow.js

Create slideshows using a directory of html files, that theoretically works in any browser since y2k.

It works in IE, however slideshow.js is currently unable to detect the end of the slides.

It is untested in netscape.

Goal

Have a js file that sets keybinds to go to the next and previous slides, and that can detect the end of the slideshow.

Tested browsers

• IE 7 (tested in an HTA file)
• NS 9
• Modern FF
• Modern Chrome
• Modern Webkit

Usage

Make a directory structure like this

/
|   slideshow.js
|   index.html
|   1/
|    |  index.html
|   2/
|    |  index.html
|   3/
|    |  ...
|   ...

the root index.html file must have the following

<object id="slide-output"></object>
<script src="./slideshow.js"></script>

You can add anything else you'd like.

Options

slidecount: set the slidecount, instead of slideshow.js having to figure it out suffix: instead of <slideno>/index.html, use <slideno>suffix (/ must be added if you want it) suffix may also be a function that takes the current slide number as input, and returns a string as the file which is a suffix for the slide

To use the options, create a script tag above the slideshow.js one and set them using var eg:

<script>
var slidecount = 5
var suffix = "/main.txt"
</script>
