    <p>I'm trying to create an image rotator where one image will fade into the next and so on until it loops back to the first image. I got the first two images to work correctly but the remaining 3 don't fade correctly. They just jump into view.</p> <p>I know I still need to account for the reaching the end of the rotation. I haven't taken care of that yet because I'm just trying to get the first round of rotation to work.</p> <p>What am I missing to get this to work correctly?</p> <p>My HTML:</p> <pre><code> &lt;div id="imageRotator"&gt; &lt;div id="image01" class="current"&gt; &lt;img src="images/imageRotate01.jpg"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="image02" class="next"&gt; &lt;img src="images/imageRotate02.jpg"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="image03" class="hidden"&gt; &lt;img src="images/imageRotate03.jpg"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="image04" class="hidden"&gt; &lt;img src="images/imageRotate04.jpg"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="image05" class="hidden"&gt; &lt;img src="images/imageRotate05.jpg"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>My CSS:</p> <pre><code>#imageRotator div { position: absolute; } .current { z-index: 1; } .next { z-index: 0; } .hidden { z-index: -1; } </code></pre> <p>My jQuery:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { var firstImage = $('#image01'); var currentImage, nextImage; setInterval(rotateImages, 2000); function rotateImages() { currentImage = $('div.current'); nextImage = $('div.next'); //the first image fades away currentImage.animate({opacity: 0}, 2000, function() { currentImage.removeClass('current'); }); //bring the second image into view nextImage.animate({opacity: 1}, 2000, function() { //make the new image the current image nextImage.removeClass('next').addClass('current'); //the next image in the rotation becomes the 'next' image nextImage.next().addClass('next').removeClass('hidden'); }); } }); </code></pre>

    1. COAre you purposely trying to write a script from scratch? Why not use one of the tools already developed and tested, like CarouFredSel? This is a really great script for simple rotations and is really easy to implement. It even has a handy-dandy wizard for customizing your functions. http://caroufredsel.dev7studios.com/ http://caroufredsel.dev7studios.com/configuration-robot.php

    2. COThe first thing I'd say is to avoid using `setInterval`, because it has some quirks that can cause it to act strangely if you have any other code that blocks it from running (which is pretty common). Better to use a self-repeating `setTimeout` instead. More info here: http://bonsaiden.github.com/JavaScript-Garden/#other.timeouts

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
