		In these versions of Internet Explorer, we need to add borders and padding to the width. In this example, we have a 3 pixel
		border on all sides. This means that the width in IE5.5 should be 606 pixels(600 + border 3px on the left + border 3 px on the right). Height
		should be set to 456 pixels(450 + 3 +3). IE 5.5 will ignore the width attributes below the first line. These will be applied to other browsers.

Put this into your <BODY> section

<div id="imageSlideshowHolder">
	<img src="images/image1_big.jpg">	
	<img src="images/image3_big.jpg">
	<img src="images/image4_big.jpg">
	<img src="images/image5_big.jpg">
	<img src="images/image6_big.jpg">

<p>Normal web content

</SCRIPT>

Configuration

You add images to the slideshow by use of standard HTML. Example:
<div id="imageSlideshowHolder">
  <img src="images/image1.jpg">
  <img src="images/image2.jpg">
  <img src="images/image3.jpg">
</div>

First of all, you have the <div id="imageSlideshowHolder">, which is the elements that holds all the images in the slideshow. Then, we use standard <IMG> tags for the images. As you can see, this slideshow contain 3 images, image1.jpg, image2.jpg and image3.jpg.

You also have 3 javascript variables available which you could modify as you need:
var slideshow2_noFading = false; // No fade effect?
var slideshow2_timeBetweenSlides = 1500; // Time between images(1000 = 1 sec)
var slideshow2_fadingSpeed = 20; // Speed of fading(Higher = slower)

These controls the behaviour of the slideshow. You can play with them to see how they works.

The size and background color of the entire slideshow is set by CSS. Example:
  #imageSlideshowHolder{
    width:600px;
    height:450px;
    background-color:#000;
    border:3px solid #317082;
    position:relative;  /* Never change this value */

  }
  .imageInGallery{
    width:600px;
    height:450px;
    background-color:#000;

    /* Never change these 3 value */
    left:0px;
    top:0px;
    position:absolute;
  }

Here, width is set to 600 pixels, height to 450 pixels and background color to black(#000). As you also can see, you have to set these values 2 places.
