Hi all,

Just wondering if someone can help me code the following.

I want to use a fading effect to rotate a series of images (7 in total), within the CSS and code already defined below:

Code:
<style="text/css">
.rotate {float: left;width: 160px;height: 215px;background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 2px solid #0066CC;margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;text-align: center;overflow: hidden;}
</style>


<div class="rotate">
    <span>
        <a href="#">
            <img border="0" src="/images/catimage.jpg" width="160" height="160" alt="" class="" />
        </a>
    </span>
    <div onclick="javascript:document.location.href='/';">
        <a href="/">BRANDS</a>
    </div>
</div>
I came across the following script:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">

function theRotator() {
	//Set the opacity of all images to 0
	$('div#rotator ul li').css({opacity: 0.0});
	
	//Get the first image and display it (gets set to full opacity)
	$('div#rotator ul li:first').css({opacity: 1.0});
		
	//Call the rotator function to run the slideshow, 6000 = change to next image after 6 seconds
	setInterval('rotate()',6000);
	
}

function rotate() {	
	//Get the first image
	var current = ($('div#rotator ul li.show')?  $('div#rotator ul li.show') : $('div#rotator ul li:first'));

	//Get next image, when it reaches the end, rotate it back to the first image
	var next = ((current.next().length) ? ((current.next().hasClass('show')) ? $('div#rotator ul li:first') :current.next()) : $('div#rotator ul li:first'));	
	
	//Set the fade in effect for the next image, the show class has higher z-index
	next.css({opacity: 0.0})
	.addClass('show')
	.animate({opacity: 1.0}, 1000);

	//Hide the current image
	current.animate({opacity: 0.0}, 1000)
	.removeClass('show');
	
};

$(document).ready(function() {		
	//Load the slideshow
	theRotator();
});

</script>


<div id="rotator">
  <ul>
    <li class="show">
    <a href="javascript:void(0)">
    <img src="images/image-1.jpg" width="500" height="313"  alt="pic1" />
    </a>
    </li>
    <li>
    <a href="javascript:void(0)">
    <img src="images/image-2.jpg" width="500" height="313"  alt="pic2" />
    </a>
    </li>
    <li>
    <a href="javascript:void(0)">
    <img src="images/image-3.jpg" width="500" height="313"  alt="pic3" />
    </a>
    </li>
    <li>
    <a href="javascript:void(0)">
    <img src="images/image-4.jpg" width="500" height="313"  alt="pic4" />
    </a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>


The CSS

/* rotator in-page placement */
    div#rotator {
	position:relative;
	height:345px;
	margin-left: 15px;
}
/* rotator css */
	div#rotator ul li {
	float:left;
	position:absolute;
	list-style: none;
}
/* rotator image style */	
	div#rotator ul li img {
	border:1px solid #ccc;
	padding: 4px;
	background: #FFF;
}
    div#rotator ul li.show {
	z-index:500;
}
Can someone assist me in coding this as a solution based on my orginal HTML and CSS above as I have tried to amend this script; however, it's not right and I could really do with some help.

Many thanks
