The easiest way is to edit the JS...

Example to the codes is found on my other site at
http://www.designer-city.com/php/gallery

as you can see it generates the filename together with the image...

just view the source, or copy it all and paste on yours, just edit the CSS again to match yours...

I replaced the code like you said... but still no filenames:

For cutting the extensions, I guess I'll worry about that later.

to display the filename you can replace it like this.
.

//Toggle image description: descriptionprefix[0 or 1, "Text to show" (if 1)]
var descriptionprefix=[<strong>0</strong>]

'
.
It will then display the filename... but to cut the file extension, it would require some php coding...

Thanks for the help with the sizing issue... I feel like an idiot for overlooking that in the CSS.

For the other part, however, what I'm looking for is to replace the text displayed beneath with the photo's filename. When I make the change like you instructed, it simply removes the text altogether.

What I'm trying to achieve is name the files after people (Ex: "Bob Smith.gif") so that their photo will appear and underneath will be "Bob Smith" (with the extension cut off by another part of the script).

I'm not sure if it'd be easy to alter the JS to do this ... or if it'd be easier to use PHP to do it? I can't write either, but I assume you could do something like:

//Toggle image description: descriptionprefix[0 or 1, "Text to show" (if 1)]
var descriptionprefix=[1, "<strong>$filename</strong>"]

But if it stayed all as JS... I'm sure it'd make life easier.

That should fix it up for your needs...

as I can see on your source css theres a defined height and width which you should change...

.slideshow img{ /*CSS for each image tag*/
border: 0;
width: 200px;
height: 106px;
}

And on your JS, change the number 1 to 0

from this (look on bold text)

//Toggle image description: descriptionprefix[0 or 1, "Text to show" (if 1)]
var descriptionprefix=[<strong>1</strong>, "Photo "]

to this

//Toggle image description: descriptionprefix[0 or 1, "Text to show" (if 1)]
var descriptionprefix=[<strong>0</strong>, "Photo "]

Right. I did that -- I have no probably customizing the script as is .. and I just put the default one up here.

This is what I have working:
http://www.foothillsbaptist.org/contacts/Engineering/test.htm

But as you can see, it generates generic labels underneath and all the photos are a size undefined by me.

Any ideas? Thanks.

On the page at dynamic drive take a look at step 3 and pay a much closer attention to the instructions on the JS imagepath which is the one responsible for actually reading the filenames for display... If you dont correct the path, it won't show the correct name...
