Multiple Slideshows on the Same Page?

Permalink
I'm just looking for a good free slider, with captions. Is there anything available? The free ones I've been able to find don't work correctly when I put more than one of them on the same page. So far I was able to get by with that by using two different slider programs, so I can have two (max) on the same page.

I'd like captions, but it's not really a necessity. Thanks.

If anything is unavailable for free, something affordable would be the next best thing.

Thanks so much!

Currently I'm using Power Slider Lite, and Awkward Slider. Thanks again. =)

adding more then 1 on a page can be an issue i think for all of them because each package calls its own java .. and i think when you call java more then once they like to conflict with each other (I could be wrong)

Quite a few of that sort of addon suffer script collisions when more than one is on a page or if the block is copy/pasted.

Sometimes it is a limitation of the javascript and css from the slider widget. Sometime sit is a limitation of the concrete5 block implementation.

Another way round it is to put each slider as a page of its own inside an iframe block.

When an addon is submitted to the PRB, there is no requirement that multiple copies can exist on a page, but we do tend to require that such limitations are documented before an addon is approved.
