Changing background images at specific times

I have a webpage - (which triggers a song on load) - that fades background images in and out at a specified interval. How would I code it so that each image was timed to fade in and out at a specific time and stay for a specific duration? With a final image that fades in and stays on at the end of the song. Here's the page: dijitalrealm.com/JCMusic/GrandDesign.html

Thanks!

Hi Scott, thanks for posting, sorry I've been AWOL for a little bit. I'm definitely in favor of not re-inventing the wheel, but I'm not sure how it will work with the rest of the page. If you haven't already, please take a look at the page and let me know if it can be seamlessly blended with the html and css. http://dijitalrealm.com/JCMusic/GrandDesign.html

Thanks,

Hi Scott, so is their a way to adapt the code you posted above seamlessly with my existing code? Perhaps a js file that will make the html code in your comment work? It seems to me if I strip down the lines in your code - no alt (or thumbnail since I don't have one) - a typical line might be as simple as this:

<img src="http://dijitalrealm.com/JCMusic/images/IndianBeyonce.png" data-slide-time="35">

Open in new window

Is that right? If not what would the code for a typical line look like? Or does it only work with flickr?

Thanks,
John

Hi leakim97, thanks for asking. I haven't done anything because I can't figure out how to adapt it to my code. Any thoughts on how to do that?

Thanks,
John

I'm sorry for not following up. Sometimes I get too many notifications and one gets lost.

To answer your question though, which ever you use, you will have to adjust what you are doing a little. But that will be easier than writing your own from scratch.

I have not tried leakim's solution, but would trust that if he said a different option is easier, it probably is.
