Can anyone tell me why this slideshow is hanging up?

Thank you for the reply.
If I resize the images, won't they appear smaller?
I created the slideshow with Adobe ImageReady. I set up each image for 3 seconds and the transition to be .5 seconds.

It loads fine in my dreamweaver "preview in browser". It's just slow after I upload to my website.

optimise and save for web.

use jquery to make the slideshow.

When I try to optimize/save for web, it creates a blank html page w/the slideshow in it.

Does jquery involves putting images and index files in separate folders? That is a headache.

Phreaddee

save for web as a single image, NOT as a html page.
save each image on their own.
DO NOT let photoshop or imageready do the work for you. thats 90% of the problem.
jquery is used for the slideshow.

jquery is really simple.

make a new html page.
add a link to the query library in the head
implement a small script
put your optimised images in a separate folder.
add the images to the html, follow the documentation from the query plugin
save and preview.
upload when your happy with it.
