    DMXzone Does it again

    July 14, 2010 by Mikel Bullis

    HTML5 Slideshow does not disappoint! It took less than 5 minutes to go live with our first slideshow... this tool is just what we are looking for to replace our flash animations.

    The extension is loaded with additional features that we hadn't event thought of but will be great for flexibility in the future.

    Excellent work, Excellent Support... and a great value for the price. 

    easy setup - perfect result

    One suggestion for the title of the popup (enlarged picture). There should be the title of the picture instead of the path/filename.
    One small thing: Carful with UTF-8. in my case the meta tag came after the numerous javascript includes, so that the names with special characters were displayed incorrectly:

    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="utf-8"" />
    <!--[if IE]><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../dmx/lib/excanvas-compressed.js"></script><![endif]-->
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../Styles/dmxHTML5Slideshow.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../Styles/dmxHTML5Slideshow/dark_matter/dark_matter.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../dmx/widgets/Lightbox/styles/default/style.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../ScriptLibrary/jquery-latest.pack.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../ScriptLibrary/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../ScriptLibrary/dmxHTML5Slideshow.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../dmx/dmx.core.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../dmx/widgets/Lightbox/dmx.lightbox.js"></script>

    Great Product, and Great Support!

    We are moving our web animations away Flash, so that we can be more compatible with mobile devices, so were looking for a good replacement.

    Came across HTML5 Slideshow, and love it! Works great, and is very easy to configure, unlike Flash that can take hours to do the very same thing! Now, we can update images all we'd like without having to fight programming in Flash! Sweet!

    There were some issues with the initial release, but, they were all over getting the bugs worked out and releasing new updates in a super timely manner! These guys are on the BALL!! It should get a 5 star rating, just on their support service alone!

    The ONLY thing keeping me from giving it a complete 5 star rating, is that I'd really like individual control over each image, so that we can pan right on one image, and then pan left on the next image, or what-have-you... Otherwise, this is simply awesome!

    Again, their support deserves absolute KUDOS for working out the bugs so effectively!! Great job, guys!!

    re: First Slide

    June 28, 2011 by Dane Henas

    Great plug in. On my wish list would be to have control over at least the first slide so that I can have it linger longer as a still image at first and then have it start to move. How hard would that be? ;-)
