Well, I am very sorry then. If I cannot see or detect any error in your live page hear using IE 7 (I have the same set up as far as OS and browser version), there isn't much I can suggest. I would make sure, if I were you that the array being output by your code is a valid array for IE 7. The way to do that would be to make sure that the length is the same in IE 7 as in other browsers. Paste this into the address bar and hit enter:

Code:

javascript:alert(fadeimages.length)

If it doesn't return the same number for the same page in IE 7 as in FF and Opera, your array generation sub-routine is somehow letting you down.

I also tested extensively in Opera and FF hoping that one of those might turn up a non-fatal error that could explain the problem in IE 7 but, no luck.

Your slideshow works perfectly from here as well, I'm running IE7, on winxp sp2, and all images load without errors.

It also works on my vista box.

Both machines have firewall enabled.

@jscheuer1
adress-bar should'nt work (I hope so -> security!!), I checked fadeimages.length too: it's correct

ok - slideshows seem to works on your IE7, fine (thx 2 all)
but my system fails, currently there's no alternative test-environment (my friends aren't pc- freaks)

Php-scripts are valid XHTML (CSS), the offline (Homesite5) IE-Preview results in (known) XHTML-Errormsg: 'XML-Page cant't be displayed ...'
Last experience:
I changed offline coding (doctype-declaration without xml-version...) and got at least THIS IE debugging: fadeshow is undefined
maybe a XHTML-problem (script-import)?

I suspect, that european MS-SW is different from USA??: you get correct slideshows, I get errors & no pics ... (I'm not a pc-guru, but neither a newbie)

If you habe any idea - I'm interested: I will resolve this problem ;-)
thx 4 help!

I have a feeling that you are over-complicating this because of some relatively obscure glitch in your browser and/or OS set up as regards their settings and/or third party add ons. If you suspect it is the:

european MS-SW

whatever that is, we have several EU participants, perhaps one of those will check out your page. As for how scripts appear in any kind of preview mode, unless the previewer is specifically designed to diagnose scripts, don't even bother.

It probably has nothing to do with this case but, to be on the safe side, I'd try redoing the page as HTML 4.01 strict and as HTML 4.01 transitional, each without any xml, use these DOCTYPES and opening html tags -

strict:

Code:

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

transitional:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<html>

Validate the HTML in each case. My reason being that you really shouldn't use XHTML or xml for your document in IE, it can't parse it but will sometimes get confused trying.

**maxion** · 03-27-2007, 03:54 PM

W3C-Validation is ok: all pages are valid XHTML-Transitional
Using pure HTML doesn't eliminate the Error ...
The error (Line 99) is exactly here:

Code:

fadeshow.prototype.populateslide=function(picobj, picindex){
...
picobj.innerHTML=slideHTML
}

It's a known IE Bug, would you know a alternative solution? (I don't have many experiene with JS)
Maybe using the div-id?

thx

**jscheuer1** · 03-27-2007, 05:09 PM

It's not known to me. Who is it known to? That would seem to indicate an open tag somewhere outside (above) the script that is getting closed in the script when the script should be closing its own tags or an invalid (undefined, null, etc.) picobj or picindex from an array with an extra comma in it or some other problem.

My vote however, is for something somewhat unique to your set up as, no other users have reported this problem with your page yet. That could change though.

**maxion** · 03-27-2007, 09:23 PM

sorry, infos was'nt exactly: IE7 bug innerhtml concerns mainly forms(options/select)
Finally, I checked, that on IE7 given crossobj (picobj too) is undefined (and not innerHTML fails!)

Visiting Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v1.5)
on my system results in:
Error (Line 106): 'undefined' is Null or no Object -> no display of pics ...

Seems to be a special bug on my system (IE 7.0.xxx), using XHTML or HTML doesn't matter ...
(Guess, that my config isn't unique ...)

thx for time and effort on supporting my troubles
(at least the credit notices on my pages are finally correct *g*)

hello there. i'm having the same problem with the script. it works in firefox, but not in IE. i did it exactly as the instruction said to. but i get an Unknown runtime error on the line that holds this code: picobj.innerHTML=slideHTML

i've tried the suggestions here, but it's still not working. does anybody have any other ideas?

i haven't been able to find a slideshow that i like as much as this one, but i need it to work in IE!

any help is appreciated.

Please supply a link to your problem page. That sounds like you have an open <a> tag in front of the in body script call.
