Image Slideshow to start only on click of a button

Hi,
I’m trying to get the following slide show to only start on click of the button below using a function called startSlider(), and not when the window loads. Pls help to create this function ie startSlider() with the javascript below :

<script language=”JavaScript1.2″>

var sliderwidth=”410px”
var sliderheight=”183px”
var slidebgcolor=”#d8d7d1″
var stopslide=”1″

var slidespeed=1
var slidesspace=parseInt(‘5’)

var imagegap=”&nbsp;”
var leftrightslide=new Array()
var finalslide=”
leftrightslide[0]='<img src=”images/slide1.jpg” border=”0″ >’
leftrightslide[1]='<img src=”images/slide2.jpg” border=”0″ >’
leftrightslide[2]='<img src=”images/slide3.jpg” border=”0″ >’
leftrightslide[3]='<img src=”images/slide4.jpg” border=”0″ >’

//Specify pixels gap between each slideshow rotation (use integer):
var slideshowgap=5
var slideshowgaptemp=slidesspace

////NO NEED TO EDIT BELOW THIS LINE////////////

if (stopslide==1)
stopslidesleed=0
else
stopslidesleed=slidespeed

var copyspeed=slidespeed
leftrightslide='<nobr>’+leftrightslide.join(imagegap)+'</nobr>’
var iedom=document.all||document.getElementById
if (iedom)
document.write(‘<span id=”temp” style=”visibility:hidden;position:absolute;top:-100px;left:-9000px”>’+leftrightslide+'</span>’)
var actualwidth=”
var cross_slide, ns_slide

function fillup(){
if (iedom){
cross_slide=document.getElementById? document.getElementById(“test2”) : document.all.test2
cross_slide2=document.getElementById? document.getElementById(“test3”) : document.all.test3
cross_slide.innerHTML=cross_slide2.innerHTML=leftrightslide
actualwidth=document.all? cross_slide.offsetWidth : document.getElementById(“temp”).offsetWidth
cross_slide2.style.left=actualwidth+slideshowgaptemp+”px”
}
else if (document.layers){
ns_slide=document.ns_slidemenu.document.ns_slidemenu2
ns_slide2=document.ns_slidemenu.document.ns_slidemenu3
ns_slide.document.write(leftrightslide)
ns_slide.document.close()
actualwidth=ns_slide.document.width
ns_slide2.left=actualwidth+slideshowgap
ns_slide2.document.write(leftrightslide)
ns_slide2.document.close()
}
lefttime=setInterval(“slideleft()”,30)
}
window.onload=fillup

function slideleft(){
if (iedom){
if (parseInt(cross_slide.style.left)>(actualwidth*(-1)+8))
cross_slide.style.left=parseInt(cross_slide.style.left)-copyspeed+”px”
else
cross_slide.style.left=parseInt(cross_slide2.style.left)+actualwidth+slideshowgap+”px”

if (parseInt(cross_slide2.style.left)>(actualwidth*(-1)+8))
cross_slide2.style.left=parseInt(cross_slide2.style.left)-copyspeed+”px”
else
cross_slide2.style.left=parseInt(cross_slide.style.left)+actualwidth+slideshowgap+”px”

}
else if (document.layers){
if (ns_slide.left>(actualwidth*(-1)+8))
ns_slide.left-=copyspeed
else
ns_slide.left=ns_slide2.left+actualwidth+slideshowgap

if (ns_slide2.left>(actualwidth*(-1)+8))
ns_slide2.left-=copyspeed
else
ns_slide2.left=ns_slide.left+actualwidth+slideshowgap
}
}

if (iedom||document.layers){
with (document){
document.write(‘<table border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″><td>’)
if (iedom){
write(‘<div style=”position:relative;width:’+sliderwidth+’;height:’+sliderheight+’;overflow:hidden”>’)
write(‘<div style=”position:absolute;width:’+sliderwidth+’;height:’+sliderheight+’;background-color:’+slidebgcolor+'” onMouseover=”copyspeed=stopslidesleed” onMouseout=”copyspeed=slidespeed”>’)
write(‘<div id=”test2″ style=”position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px”></div>’)
write(‘<div id=”test3″ style=”position:absolute;left:-1000px;top:0px”></div>’)
write(‘</div></div>’)
}
else if (document.layers){
write(‘<ilayer width=’+sliderwidth+’ height=’+sliderheight+’ name=”ns_slidemenu” bgColor=’+slidebgcolor+’>’)
write(‘<layer name=”ns_slidemenu2″ left=0 top=0 onMouseover=”copyspeed=stopslidesleed” onMouseout=”copyspeed=slidespeed”></layer>’)
write(‘<layer name=”ns_slidemenu3″ left=0 top=0 onMouseover=”copyspeed=stopslidesleed” onMouseout=”copyspeed=slidespeed”></layer>’)
write(‘</ilayer>’)
}
document.write(‘</td></table>’)
}
}
</script>

just above

window.onload=fillup

use this-

<input type="button" value="start slide" onclick="lefttime=setInterval('slideleft()',30)" />

@sonyakuhnelauthorOct 03.2009 — thanks! thats great!

Any idea how to get the slideshow images to appear in IE on window load, as static images only appear in Firefox on window load?

Success!
