I think you must have modified the main script (fadeslideshow.js) because it works fine in IE 7 on the demo page here on Dynamic Drive. In any case, I see this line in your copy is technically invalid:


.css({position:'absolute', left:0, top:0, width:'100%', height:'100%', })

It should be:


.css({position:'absolute', left:0, top:0, width:'100%', height:'100%'})

Making the change here fixed it.

Wow thanks a lot, you saved my life... it was kinda ridiculous to know exactly that it was that comma.. lol but is there any program that i can copy paste a code and it will find all the errors and correct it ??

IE 7 itself (plus my knowledge of IE 7's odd methods of reporting errors) put me on to that line. Once I looked at it the error was obvious to my experienced eye.

As far as I know, there is no one program to do that kind of investigative work. Each browser has its own was of helping you diagnose problems, some are add ons, others come with the browser. Each is specific to that browser because in part each browser has its own peculiarities as far as what it might consider to be a fatal error or not, and in part because these various diagnostic programs, be they add ons or included with the browser, have their own ways of dealing with detecting and reporting errors. Generally the more recent versions of any given browser have better options and/or built in utilities for this sort of thing.
