IE vs Firefox display issues
Hello, being new to HTML and all, I am full of questions . . . here is an issue I can not figure out on my own; I built a slide show using one of Microsoft's power toy called HTML Silde Show Wizard. Now, when I view the html with IE, everything works, and all the functions are present. However, when I view the same slide show with Firefox, most of the functions are absent, and only the previous and next button show-up.
What simple fix Am I missing here?
Thanks

I'd really need to see this site to have any idea at all. If its an MS product my guess is it
may only work in IE.
If you have a link we can check it out and see.

which brings me to another problem; when I find my site on a search engine, the link from the engine to the site leaves out the frames like this link:
http://www.ladydaredevil.com/wild_ride.php.
This will take you to the page where the slide show is. From there, click on the group picture thumbnail, where its says you see promo shots.
The see the frames in the site ladydaredevil.com and then click on the top A&E banner.
Thanks

In Firefox (version 1.0.1) the only thing that doesn't work for me is the embedded mp3 that you have on that page (although I do get an option to add an mp3 pluggin). The slideshow worked for me.
As for the question of frames, this is the real problem of using them! Maybe someone with more Search Engine knowledge with have a solution. I myself highly discourage using them but to each his own.

Thanks dk01, That is weird, because the sound works on my firefox, same version. I thought I had Windows' Media Player embedded in there. I'm planning on doing away with the frames, but the site is growing really fast and I am not sure when I will get to it.
Thanks for your help.

Weird, in the slideshow, the back/next are there, but the play isn't... Check out the source of the page, in Firefox:
<html>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<a href="9.htm"><img border=0 align=right src="../images/next.gif"></a>
<a href="1.htm"><img border=0 align=right src="../images/prev.gif"></a>
<br clear=right>
<center>
<img src="../images/kneivel_keyart.jpg">
</center>
</body>
</html>
and the code of the IE version:
<html><head>
<title>Team Knievel</title>
<script>
Actually, there is way too much to post, but I am guessing there is something detecting the browser, and outputting something for browsers other than IE. If you use Firefox it sends you to 0.htm, but if you use IE, it keeps you on default.htm, I suggest looking for the javascript that detects browers, and fix it.

Hey Cpt, thanks for pointing out the referred page thing, I will look into that. I'm basically still learning all this. At this point, this is probably something really easy to fix that I have overlooked.

The problem here is that you have used a microsoft product and wondered why it won't work properly on another product.
Sorry to say it but, microsoft products work best on microsoft products.

It is fine Renegade, I can agree with you on this, even though I have use Microsoft product successfully with other products, but that really does not fix my problem. Which I thought was a minor coding issue with that small program; I was thinking that it was an issue that could be easily resolved here where Webmasters hang out.
