Bug 15147 – Javascript slideshow doesn't show up

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Evangelism

[Johan Ronsse]

The javascript slideshow doesn't show up, it does in Safari 2.0.4 (but it doesn't fade in and out). It works perfectly in the other browsers I tested it in. (IE6 IE7 Firefox Mac Firefox Win Opera Win Opera Mac, all latest version besides IE, which doesnt have versions).

This is a known issue with older versions of the "Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow" from www.dynamicdrive.com.

The issue is described in Bug 13358 Comment #2 and Bug 13358 Comment #3, which contains a temporary fix for the Safari 3 Public Beta on Mac and Windows.

However, the best fix is for the site to upgrade to version 1.51 of the "Ultimate Fade-In Slideshow" which also fixes the "every other transition" issue seen with Safari 3 Public Beta.  (See Bug 13358 Comment #11.)

Johan, do you have any contact information for the owner of the site?  I don't see a "Contact Us" page (or similar information) on the English version of the site.

Hmm, looks like you may need to contact their web design company, Netlash:

Since I don't speak Dutch, would you mind sending them a note, Johan?  Let them know that the slideshow part of the envoy.svn.be site is broken with Safari 3 Public Beta, and the fix is to simply upgrade the "Ultimate Fade-In Slideshow' to version 1.51:

Thanks!

I work for Netlash, so I'll tell my fellow developers to upgrade the slideshow component of our CMS. Thanks for the kind answer!
