Trying to have free html slideshow open automatically when someone goes to the home page

Q: I am trying to have one image open automatically when someone goes to the home page of a website. I want the corner image to auto expand to the centre of the screen at LOAD.
I am using a MAC with VisualLightbox 5.0 (FREE DEMO).
I would like to purchase this as long as I could have that function working. I have tried checking off Auto Play Slide Show....but it hasn¹t made a difference.

A: You can start lightbox gallery on page load:

1. Set the following function in the <head> tag of your page:

<script type="text/javascript">
        var started;
  function showLightBox() 
  { 
    if (started) return;
    started = setTimeout(function(){
        Lightbox.start(document.getElementById('firstImage'));
        started;
    },500);
  }
</script>



2. Specify the onLoad event for the <body> tag:

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" onLoad="javascript:showLightBox()">



3. Set the ID for any image in your gallery (id="firstImage"),
for example add it to the second image:

<a class="vlightbox1" href="data/images1/10.jpg" title="10" id="firstImage">
   <img src="data/thumbnails1/10.jpg" alt="10"/>
   </a>
