Fade-In Image Script - Problems with IE6

Script: Fade-In Image Slideshow
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm

The Script works flawlessy in firefox, but upon trying to load the page in IE, the following dialog box pops up:

"A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"

Choosing to not abort the script does nothing, and aborting loads the rest of the page, but leaves the image slideshow a black box.

Thanks for the help.

Not sure why you are experiencing a problem. I load http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamic...inslideshow.htm using Internet Explorer without a problem, and that has a demo of the script on the site. I did load your link in Internet Explorer as well and I do get the error. Its not the script or I would have gotten the error both times. Maybe you didn't copy somthing right. How big are your images? You didn't just specify a width and a height did you? If so, that may be why. Also, how many images does it cycle through. If its about 3 million that could cause problems as well.

There's 12 images in the rotation, and none of them are over 100k.

Replace what you have with this. I tryed it in Internet Explorer and it worked just fine.
