Problems With Slideshow

[Barb]

Hi,

I'm hoping that I explain this well enough to make sense!

I have had several people view my galleries in Slideshow mode, and a couple of those people have told me that during the slideshow, many of the pictures have, for lack of a better description, missing pixels (white spots), throughout the photos. Not really knowing what they were talking about, I did a slideshow on two or three of my galleries while I was at work, and found the same thing happening.

Now, when I am at home, and on my Mac, this does not happen. I cannot reproduce it at all at home. But at work, I can reproduce it almost every time, and on different computers (all PC's), using different browsers, i.e., IE and Firefox. I really miss my Mac at work - haha.

Is this a redrawing problem of sorts, or another issue?

Thank you.

EDIT: After trying this a few more times this morning, Firefox appears to be okay. Internet Explorer is where the problem is.

Sebastian,

Thank you for your reply here. I had done a search before I posted, but certainly missed that thread! It is EXACTLY the problem I was describing.

It is actually an IE problem with redrawing. No matter the problem, as long as I know it's not something I did, I'm good with that :)

Thx again for pointing me to that thread. Much appreciated!

Have we ever mentioned how much IE blows? :puke1

Once MS got a monopoly on that browser, they just sat on it and refused to fix the simplest of bugs. Their styesheet and javascript bugs are retarding development of decent apps on the web, not to mention lack of PNG support.

We're not bitter about it or anything.:splat

We're not bitter about it or anything.:splat Not a fan of IE myself :) Safari / Firefox at home and Firefox on PC at work. I would have never known about this problem except for the few people that use IE that told me about it. My response to them now as been to download Firefox. Think I've converted a few over :)

We're not bitter about it or anything.:splat My bro in law works at microsoft and he told me a few months ago that they restarted the IE team. According to him they've already got tabbed browsing in IE and are working out the bugs. I don't think they'll release it until they think they have a product that will beat firefox.

I think they'll have a long way to go until that happens. But if it does, get ready for a whole new browser war...
