Try clicking the tan to see the next tan.

I added the following code to the <head> tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.easing.1.1.1.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript">
		$(document).ready(function() {
		$('#scroll').cycle({
    		fx:      'scrollRight',
    		next:   '#scroll',
    		timeout:  0,
    		easing:  'backinout'
						})
						           });
</script>

The two js scripts loading from the js folder on my site. You can download them from

http://c0lin.org/M3R...ycle.all.min.js

http://c0lin.org/M3R...easing.1.1.1.js

just right-click save as.

and I also added the following <div> tag around your image:

<div id="scroll">
	<img src="pictures/xbox-360-tan.jpg" border="0">
	<img src="pictures/ps3tan.jpg" border="0">
</div>

and of course I added an extra image to show off the effect. You can add as many img tags as you want and it will roll through them.

Unfortunately <center> doesn't work within the slideshow, although <center> is deprecated and you should be using CSS to center things, but even normal CSS centering doesn't work to center.

I was able to center the xbox tan and zoey by adding padding to the left of the two images. Basically I took the max width (800px) and subtracted the width of the image (447.6px for xboxtan) and divided the result by 2 (176px). I added it inline since it takes less characters to have it inline than creating separate classes for each.

Example: http://c0lin.org/M3RG3.ATH.CX/

Changed code:

	<div id="scroll">	
<img src="http://m3rg3.ath.cx/pictures/eva.jpg"  height="600" width="800" border="0"> 
<img src="http://m3rg3.ath.cx/pictures/silent.png"  height="600" width="800" border="0"> 
<img src="http://m3rg3.ath.cx/pictures/mirrors.jpg"  height="600" width="800" border="0"> 
<img src="http://m3rg3.ath.cx/pictures/xbox-360-tan.jpg"   height="600" width="447.6" border="0" style="padding-left: 176px;" />
<img src="http://m3rg3.ath.cx/pictures/prawn.jpg"  height="600" width="800" border="0"> 
<img src="http://m3rg3.ath.cx/pictures/kagami2.png"  height="600" width="800" border="0"> 
<img src="http://m3rg3.ath.cx/pictures/bam.jpg"  height="600" width="800" border="0"> 
<img src="http://m3rg3.ath.cx/pictures/zoey.jpg"  height="600" width="600" border="0" style="padding-left: 100px;" />
 
</div>

You know you've got your doctype set to XHTML but your page doesn't validate to XHTML.

ine 45, Column 67: required attribute "alt" not specified…es/glider.png" height="40" width="40" border="0"/>✉

The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.

Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.

i don't get this one^

I could probably clean up your code for you when I get the chance to do so.

For example your <img> tags actually need to be like <img /> since it doesn't have a closing </img> tag (closing img tags don't exist).

The alt attribute goes inside an img tag. It's the text that shows when an image doesn't load. So like:

<img src="http://m3rg3.ath.cx/pictures/xbox-360-tan.jpg" alt="Xbox 360 Tan" height="600" width="447.6" border="0" style="padding-left: 300px;" />
