1) Script Title: Ultimate Fade-in slide show v2.0

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm

3) Describe problem:

Slideshow works perfect on FF/Safari, but all I get is a black box in IE.

Are you talking about Swiss Army Slideshow instead? I see that on your page, which works in IE8 at least btw.

I switched just because I couldn't have a black box on there. Im creating another page thats not public and I'll post here. I wanna try to resolve the ultimate fade-in show problem, because I like the options and script overall more than Swiss Army.

The slideshow on that page works fine for me in IE8 at least. Are you talking about another version of IE?

Hmm. I guess earlier versions. IE7 hasn't worked for me on multiple PCs. Nor does it work on my IE page load plugin on FF. IE7 it doesnt work.

I have IE 7 and I see what you mean. First thing to try is a valid URL DOCTYPE like:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">


instead of (from your page's source code):


<!DOCTYPE HTML>

It would probably also be a good idea to include the opening <html> tag right after that, it's missing, and I believe it's required.

Also, your body tag:


<body onLoad="P7_ExpMenu()" onLoad="fadeSlideShow">

That second onload won't do anything other than perhaps cancel the first one. At least for testing purposes, I'd try it first without either:


<body>

Then, after you see how that goes, with just the first:


<body onLoad="P7_ExpMenu()">

OK, I just tried this out and it worked. But those (reasons in my previous post) may not have made a difference. When I tried this locally, it wouldn't load your iepngfix.htc - so that might have been all that was required to fix this. In any case though, iepngfix is only of any use in IE 6 and less, so there should be conditional comments in place to prevent it's use in all but those browsers.

Remove:


img, /*#container ,#menuwwrapper*/ {behavior: url(iepngfix.htc);}


from your sga2.css file and place it on your page(s) like so:


<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
img, /*#container ,#menuwwrapper*/ {behavior: url(iepngfix.htc);}
</style>
<![endif]-->
