Topic: Gigabyte'site slideshow works in Safari. How can I do it??

Greetings:

For those that owns Iphone or Ipad and are familiar with the famous Apple not playing flash content, problem I have a question. How can I make my site to play sildeshows when visitors are using Safari browser??

If you navigate with you Iphone or Ipad safari browser to this site www.gigabyte.com you'll notice that the slidesohow works perfectly, even with fade effects, how can I do this???

Thank you.

You can sniff for User Agent and serve them a different page, which I think most big sites do nowadays. I don't have an iPad, so I'm not sure how they do it, but I think it should be relatively easy to switch images with javascript.

The fade transitions should be the only hard part, but I think most browsers nowadays support scripts and CSS for blending layers. If you can't do it like that, you can probably use something like ImageMagik to generate transition images serverside, which you can change in stages.

Does this sound like what you're trying to do?

Yup, clearly they're sniffing around, and using the Nivo Slider.

Why they don't just use their JavaScript for every user agent is beyond me.

Thank you guys, I'll check the Java option.

One more question, how can I make my site's css style to be displayed in smartphones???

JavaScript.
