From: Norm75 on 26 Jul 2008 19:34
I have a small website - www.wpguc.com - our church website. The other day, I
changed pictures on the "slideshow" part of the couples' club page and the
wedding page. When I did that, I also deleted a number of pictures that I had
placed earlier in a table format (not a slideshow). To my knowledge, that is
all I did.

I learned from one of my viewers, that using firefox browser, the two named
pages ceased to function - the images were scrambled and not viewable. Before
the change, she reported that the couples club page was fine. She hadn't
visited the wedding page.

I installed firefox in my computer and she was certainly correct. I have
checked the HTML code against a backup copy (not FTP to the site) done with
the slideshow and tables containing the static pictures, and I can't see any
difference at all.

If someone could give me a hand to clarify why this is happening with
firefox, it would be most appreciated. Works fine with IE.

Many thanks. Norm.

look at the head and body tags on that page you should have one set of each
and they should be opened and closed properly

Thanks Rob. Actually I have the head and body tags on the page. With my
deleting the tables on each of the page, could that action interfere with the
page layout when using FF?

Your page contains a large dollop of invalid code - the validator finds 156
errors.

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww3.telus.net%2Fwpguc%2F

This snippet illustrates what Rob was trying to point out, I believe -

</head>

<!-- THREE STEPS TO INSTALL JS SLIDESHOW SCRIPT II:



1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document

2. Add the onLoad event handler into the BODY tag

3. Put the last coding into the BODY of your HTML document -->



<!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->



<HEAD>

Note that the </head> tag is followed by a second <head>, and that's
incorrect. Later on you have this -

<body>
<BODY onLoad="runSlideShow()">

again, incorrect.

Fix those errors (yes, all 156 of them) before worrying about page
funtionality.

Many of those errors are caused by a mismatch between the XHTML strict
doctype on the page (you would be better off replacing it with an HTML4.01
Transitional one -

by changing this -

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">

to this -

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>

Thanks, Murray for your guidance. I'm a real neophite with coding but will
have a go and see how I make out.

Thanks again. Norm.
