    I own three of your missing manuel book, Dreamweaver, CSS and javascript and I am getting alot out of them. I do have a question for the website above if you look in the header the images rotate. I did use jQuery and the tweaked it so the code does this

    $(document).ready(function() {

    $(‘#headpic3′).cycle({
    fx: ‘fade’,
    timeout: 3000,
    speed: 1500,
    delay: -2000,
    });//end cycle 3

    $(‘#headpic4′).cycle({
    fx: ‘fade’,
    timeout: 3000,
    speed: 1500,
    delay: -2000,
    });//end cycle4

    $(‘#headpic2′).cycle({
    fx: ‘fade’,
    timeout: 3000,
    speed: 1500,
    delay: -2000,
    });//end cycle2

    $(‘#headpic1′).cycle({
    fx: ‘fade’,
    timeout: 3000,
    speed: 1500,
    delay: -2000,
    });//end cycle1

    The question I have is that when the page loads for a second you see all the images If I place an extra fade I can’t seem to make it work because my background disapears can you help me with this? Or let me know where I can go for help.
    Thanks

      Hi Magda,

      I’m not sure exactly what you’re after. Do you want no pictures to begin with and THEN then fade? If so, you should try hiding the images to begin with, and then apply cycle. In addition, you should be able to combine all of those cycle calls into a single statement. Try this:

      $(‘#headpic1, #headpic2, #headpic3, #headpic4′).hide(),cycle ({
      fx: ‘fade’,
      timeout: 3000,
      speed: 1500,
      delay: -2000,
      });

    Hi, Dave.
    I am attending your WORKSHOP:
    User Interface Design with jQuery (http://www.webvisionsevent.com/speakers/mcfarland-dave/?redir=L3dvcmtzaG9wcy8=). I needed to know what I should have loaded on my company’s laptop for your workshop? Are you going to provide referenced links to an existing tutorial? Or, are your jQuery lessons going to be available for practice, later? Thank you.
