Have embedded image scroller java script to my site, but it fails to work in IE when it is used in Iframes ( http://www.thesculpturesgallery.com/scu … /aqua.html ). The First page opens correctly but when the scroller loads on subsequent pages... it fails.
It works fine if the javascript is individually added to the pages (www.Chariot-Tours.com) and the problem doesnot arise when the page is first time loaded. The script works fine even when page is refreshed.  SCript is also working fine in FF and opera.
Please  help

G'day cipher.

I don't pretend to know the answer, but here's the list of code warnings shown by html tidy in FF:

I'd, first up, be looking at the doctype and the errors relating to the iframe.

Thanks Laurie,
But I don't have any idea about the coding. I just design the pages in frontpage and do not have any clue about the coding, the javascript is taken from internet. I don't know how to modify and rectify the errors. I can read and do minor changes in the code on trial and error basis.

Have you considered using a flash slideshow instead of the scrolling image?

Laurie.

thats a good option but I would need to add pics to it on regular basis, better if someone can help with the frame problem...

G'day cipher.

A flash or a javascript slideshow can be built in a couple of minutes. Quite easy once you get the hang of it. It would be no trouble to scrap the old one and make a new one each time you want to update.

Maybe it's time to learn some new tricks. I think you'll need to if you want to go beyond the ordinary output achieved with the basic use of a WYGIWYG editor.

Spoiler:

DISCLAIMER: There's nothing inferior about using a WYSIWYG editor. It just limits you a bit, that's all.

You don't want too many pictures in any slide show or it slows down the page excessively. Three or four images, like you have, is ideal.

Regards,
Laurie.
