Shockwave 3D Slideshow does not work with IE

[dogsmommy]

1) Script Title: Shockwave 3D Slideshow

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/index.html

3) Describe problem: It's claimed that this slideshow works in IE7 and above. Nope, doesn't show at all in IE. Visiting the instruction page itself in IE shows that the slideshows do not visualize............just blank space where the slideshows should be. Spent more than 2 hours correcting code error messages to get this to work on a client's website only to find that it does NOT display in IE8.

I'm looking at the demo page in IE8 and its working fine for me: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...wave/index.htm

Maybe you have scripts on your own page that are causing conflicts?

I am also having issues with the script functioning in IE. And I might well have interference issues with some other scripts. I'll dig into that later. Right now, I need some input on usable image file types. The Script's DD demo page shows .jpg files in the code. Yet I can only get the script to function with .gif file extensions. I did try the others as well, .png .bmp .tif but only .gif files work.

I've begun to develop a small balding spot on my head from the extended heading scratching. And, like most code issues, I've no doubt overlooked something simple. Any guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jake

We'd need to see a link to your page. There's no immediate reason I can think of why other image types aren't working - if the demo uses jpg then I would have thought you'd be able to use jpg. Leave up an example page with the image type that isn't working and we'll have a look. It might be something as simple as a case mid-match - Windows isn't case-sensitive but Linux is, so if for example you're using an image with extension "JPG" but your code uses "jpg", you'll run into problems.
