Use a text editor or your browser's editor to change the values of the HTML tags. Save the file, then press the Reload or the Refresh icon on your browser to see your changes in the display. You can pause the animation by moving the cursor onto the display window. Check it out and make some more changes if you wish. Back to Top.

How do I lead a surfer to a slide or category?

You can use any interactive methods, such as buttons or image maps to lead surfers to specific slides and categories. These methods can be imbedded anywhere in your web page. You can tells CoolSlides to jump to a certain slide, with an optional extension to tell CoolSlides to go forward, to go backward, or to pause after displaying that slide. If you have 50 products in 5 categories, you can use a list to jump to any product and optionally pause there, and your can use another list to jump to the entry slide of any category and slide the products of that category one after the another. See the User's Guide for details.Back to Top.
