# Posted: 24 May 2008 16:30 · Edited by: ge1doot Greetings all - You know that my scripts here are just simple 'demos', all HTML, CSS and JS code, being most of the time sandboxed in one single portable html file. And you know that I will not deal here with production and integration matters, no browsers bugs workarounds, no errors management, no fallback content for outdated browsers, et cetera. The scripts work well on my machine, usually. This being said, due to huge demand for an AJAX version, I took the time today to update the script: http://www.dhteumeuleu.com/run/image-flow/ Images, texts and other data will now be externally referenced from an xml file: http://www.dhteumeuleu.com/dhtml/image-flow.xml As a side effect, the script will not run anymore locally without a locally running web server. AJAX? or inline content? Please let me know what you think, 
thanks, Gerard |

But you really did an excellent work to give us the possibility to choose between this two methods  |

# Posted: 24 May 2008 23:49 Hi Gerard I think that Ajax is the best option, is more functional and allows more options..... Greetings  |

# Posted: 23 Jul 2008 00:44 Gotta love the AJAX version. This is truly beautiful. And the xml addresses the "loading" issue. Can this approach be applied to the Book? Viewers love the book. http://lumpenstudio.com/book/0708mn.html |

Loving all the work on this site!! Tried to use the imageflow today, works great on PC with IE and Firefox, but doesnt seem to work on a MAC running safari 
Just hangs on the loading part, tried it on 2 MAC`s, both unable to view ? Is this an issue with safari ? Do you have the previous non-ajax version available ? Keep up the fantastic work! Bravo! Merci, Andrew |

# Posted: 12 Aug 2008 16:13 Andrew, What version of Safari are you running? This works for me in Safari 3 but not Safari 1 http://lumpenstudio.com/holidays/mn4july08.html Also see if this is useful: http://browsershots.org/ |

# Posted: 27 Aug 2008 00:19 A really nice application, but it is not quite up and running for me yet. I loaded the application to a directory with the slider images and the image-flow.xml file. I modified the image names to correspond to those I had in an 'images' directory under the root accounting for the ../ found in image-flow.xml The page comes up black with the sllider images and says Error on Page, Done with no images.
[url=null]http://enroll.rmtrain.com/Tour/imageflow.html[/url] Any ideas from prior experiences?? |

# Posted: 30 Aug 2008 18:06 Still at it and going no where fast.
I renamed the path of the programs to more closely parallel those of the original http://enroll.rmtrain.com/imageflow/imageflow.html The code errors on the following line: var bank = AJAX(xmlfile).responseXML.getElementsByTagNam I know it references the function below var AJAX = (function(AJAX){
return function(url){
var ajax = AJAX();
ajax.open("GET", url, false);
ajax.send("");
return ajax;
};
}Not that the code is wrong, but that is where it stops working. By removing that one line of code the slider functions and no error is reported. Of course there are not pictures and no text (no suprise). The Ready State = 4 and the response is 200 saying the connection was successful. The xml file "image-flow.xml" is in the same path as the AJAX program and the file name when tested in the code is correct. The images are under the images directory directly under the WEB root i.e. "../images". I even shifted the xml document and retyped it in us-ascii after reading a few articles on possible incompatability among servers (no change). The program selects "return new XMLHttpRequest;", I am using a Linux server. which allows AJAX transactions. I can view the demo on this server perfectly on my browser (IE). I communicate with the server and SQL in other apps using AJAX. Stumped and would love to see the old in-line version or a really good suggestion on what I may have over looked. Love the app, just can't get the engine started. |

# Posted: 22 Sep 2008 21:40 Awesome script! Is there a way to start at a specific image? Say if I had 5 images, I would like to start at #3. Thanks again! |

# Posted: 11 Aug 2009 16:12 · Edited by: Albyung The script is marvelous. Got the AJAX version running smoothly on-line with three selection of albums (external references). Works with IE, Firefox and Chrome. Thanks! |
