    The script itself is working, the only thing I see that is wrong with it is that the images do not exist on the server at the location you specified in the script. For example, images/flip/roughocean.jpg is not on the server; but yet, /roughocean.jpg does exist. I believe that you may want to edit the paths in this part of the script:

    Code:
    Book_Image_Sources=new Array(
    		"images/flip/roughocean.jpg","",
    		"images/flip/calmerocean.jpg","",
    		"images/flip/beach.jpg","",
    		"images/flip/scottatbeach.jpg","",
                    "images/flip/me_at_beach.jpg",""
    		);
    to this:

    Code:
    Book_Image_Sources=new Array(
    		"/roughocean.jpg","",
    		"/calmerocean.jpg","",
    		"/beach.jpg","",
    		"/scottatbeach.jpg","",
                    "/me_at_beach.jpg",""
    		);
    Hope this helps.

    Are you sure about that, because it seems to be working perfectly in IE6/7 and FF.

    That's weird, I just cleared my cache and now it doesn't work on IE 6 or 7; only FF. I will play around with it to see if I can figure it out, but someone else may see the problem before I get to it.

    there are several errors:
    1) in you source code i see three instances of the same problem, on line 54, 76, and 107 there is this:
    document.write('...</scr'+'ipt>');
    that is error prone and should be replaced with:
    document.write('...<\/scr'+'ipt>');

    2) lines 62 and 250, there is no </center> for the <center>

    3) lines 52, 64, and 80 there is no type attribute for the <script> tags

    @master: Those issues that you stated are created by Tripod's server's for the advertisements. There is nothing that the user can do about that except for switch to a different host or use paid hosting.

    Edit: I am thinking that it may be something to do with the host as I was able to make a test page with the exact same script of yours and it works fine cross browser (at least the major ones). http://thetestingsite.net/test/bookflip.html is the demo page.

    Thanks so much for your time, I guess I will just have to try another slide show even though I like the Flip Book idea.
