Hi Charlie, thanks for the reply, i appreciate it.
That's what I'm doing: repeating the constructor and changing the IDs. this adds 200 extra lines of code to the js file though. Previously in this thread, someone else figured out a way to not have to add unique IDs to the html code. so that there was only one constructor statement, with no repeated code. But alas I couldn't get it to work. There should be a way for js to loop through the html and create unique variables for each slideshow encounter ("#s + 1" or something like that). any thoughts?
