iWeb Slideshow Modification

It appears that the iWeb slideshow does need to be modified if you created it with the latest version (3.0.4) of iWeb.

Or revert back to iWeb 3.0.3. However, I don't know what features 3.0.4 has over 3.0.3. All it says is that it fixes a number of minor issues. That's a lot of help.

It was 3.0.3.

About iWeb 3.0.3

This update contains bug fixes and improvements, including the following:

  • Addresses an issue when using the iSight Movie widget on certain Macs
  • Addresses an issue publishing iWeb sites using FTP
  • Improves compatibility with Mac OS X



3.0.4 moved the slideshow icons to the server and created this issue. 👿

This did help my fading memory!


That's one good reason for not reverting for those who use the iWeb FTP.


Its probably easier to follow your tutorial and fix the slideshow rather than revert to 3.0.3 anyway.


Even I managed to follow it and publish a slideshow. Which means it must be good since it has been pointed repeatedly in this forum that I know nothing about javascript and the iWeb slideshow.

I've followed both Roddy and Old Toads instructions on how to fix the Slideshow show controls so there aren't 3 question marks for controls. But I must be missing something because the controls are still broken.


Here's the link to the slideshow/images folder at the root level of the server. All images are there.


Here are two screen shots of the iWPopUpSlideshow.js file that I modified at the server level. I only found two lines to modify.

Hi Roddy and Mr. Old Toad,


I followed the instructions (I think), but my control images aren't showing up. I'm wondering if it's this /1/ that was already part of the code URL (see below) that's not in my hosted file name, which is just http://www.markdotzler.com/slideshow/images ....any help would be appreciated.


// set initial values

var slideWidth;

var slideHeight;

var frameHeight;

var frameWidth;

var scroller;

var slideshow;

var thumbnails;

var hud;

var thumbMatte = 89;

var pickerHeight = 100;

var browser;

var baseURL = "http://www.markdotzler.com/1/slideshow/";

var windowWidth = 800;

var windowHeight = 800;



function initScroller(startPoint) {

var thumbZone = $('thumbnailPicker');

var scrollbar = appendDiv(thumbZone, "scrollbar");

scrollbar.style.top = "84px";

scrollbar.style.left = 0;

scrollbar.style.width = thumbZone.getWidth() - 2 + "px";

scrollbar.style.height = "15px";

var bar = appendDiv(scrollbar, "bar");

bar.style.top = 0;

bar.style.left = 0;

bar.style.width = "100%";

bar.style.height = "13px";

var dragTool = appendDiv(scrollbar, "dragtool");

dragTool.style.top = "1px";

dragTool.style.left = 0;

dragTool.style.width = "26px";

dragTool.style.height = "13px";

dragTool = $(appendImage(dragTool, 'http://www.markdotzler.com/1/slideshow/images/dragger.gif', null, 24,13));

dragTool.setStyle({ margin: '0 1px' });

var ruler = appendDiv(scrollbar, "ruler");

ruler.style.top = 0;

ruler.style.left = 0;

scroller = new Scroller();


if (startPoint != null) {

scroller.jumpTo(startPoint);
