I am using jQuery and would like to use CMSB to create the text in the slider function I am using for this site. Here is the test page I am working on:

Does anyone know of a way to do this or does the text need to stay embedded into the graphic? I would love to take advantage of the SEO benefits of having text.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be really helpful.

Hi,

The first step is to get the slideshow image and text displaying without using CMS Builder by creating a hardcoded page working example like you have.

I found this demo of the slideshow that rotates text content (bottom example):
http://cssglobe.com/lab/easyslider1.5/05.html

View the source to see how the text content one is coded.

You should be able to include an image in the content and then add the text where ever needed using css positioning.

After you have the working example, with image and text, the next step is to out put the images for the slideshow using CMS Builder. The text can be output using a caption field that can be entered when the image is uploaded.

Hope this points you in the right direction. :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I did find the Easy Slider and implemented it. I just need to figure out how to add overlay text and then see if I can get it to work with CMSB.

If anyone has any helpful ideas, I would be grateful.
