would probably help a hell of a lot more if you told us what to do with it... I'm just saying. Anyhoo, I have a similar problem I think. The whole thing just doesn't show up - does anyone actually know how to use this or is it now defunct like so many others?

Perhaps I should add that the code straight from DD works in a blank document outside Drupal, but cannot be hardcoded into the page template nor does the module seem to show anything in the pages although when viewing the source it appears to be there.

Can't figure it out - is it still a working module? Is it possible to get some decent instructions on this?

I spent days trying to get this working too. As you say, the page code seemed OK, but no image display resulted. Consigned to the great dustbin of Drupal until someone cleverer than me fixes it. Which is unlikely as all the clever people have charged ahead to newer versions of Drupal.

The docs indicate that it works with v1.51 of the DynamicDrive Javascript, but the download on the site is now v2.1. There may be an incompatibility between the JS and the module.

The following procedure works with Drupal 6.16 and dynamic drive’s ultimate fade-in slideshow(v2.1). I also got this to work with Drupal 5.22
Create a folder named fade on your pc. Install node++ or some other text editor on your pc.
Create a files folder on the same level as includes, misc, modules, profiles, scripts, sites and themes
on your Drupal website.

Step 1
Go to
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm
Locate the javascript for fade-in slideshow version 2.1

Step 2
Copy the code that the page indicates should go into the head of the html document

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="fadeslideshow.js">

I am closing this issue, since it's for a Drupal version no longer supported.
