I appreciate your sharing this. I'm new at jquery so this is great info. How do you get the corresponding title that goes with the random image? I added title to the view as the last column. I'm able to pull the last one doing var c = $(" tr td.ms-vb2:last").

@wallou: what kind of library have you used: Pictures Library or just a regular Document Library?

hi waldek.

i was reading your post about using jquery for random images in sharepoint when i noticed something which can be useful for me on your first screenshot.

In your image list, you have the columns :"thumnbail","width" and "height".
How do you get this? i dont find it when i add anew column,i'm running WSS 3.0 SP1.
I would like to have thumbnails in my list instead of big-sized pictures.

Thx for your help

@Eric: as far as I know every Web Part you drop on the page gets a unique ID. Using that ID you should be able to limit the slideshow to a single list.

@Christian Lopez: The choice for a Document/Image Library probably results in different ids. I'm quite sure you should be able to achieve the same results using the Image Library. The only thing you would have to do is to examine the generated HTML and compare it to the one when using the Document Library.

I\'ve discovered the issue. Your code reads images in a Document Library as opposed to an Image Library.

Once I created a Document Library and uploaded pictures in there, the code works perfectly.

Thanks!

@Christian Lopez: it's all being done in JavaScript attached to the ListViewWebPart. You select the images by simply including them in the ListViewWebPart. The JavaScript does the rest of the job automatically for you.
