Have a small roadblock...

[BELphotos]

Hi... I was wondering if somebody could take a look at BELphotos.com. I have reached an impass on three customization problems.

1 - The control buttons on the HOME page slideshow only shows up in IE7. I have checked and double-checked and am unable to locate the problem. (I know that the colors are not the best for this scheme, but one thing at a time.)

2 - The photos from the slideshow are in the Bio box. I am stuck on finding out how to add a few pixels to the top of the photo so there is a space between the photo and the border.

3 - And last but not least, the number one photo in this slideshow gallery does not run in the slideshow. It will appear during the internal gallery slideshow, but not on the HOME page slideshow. Maybe someting I did?

I have heavily documented the customization steps I have taken. Just about all of them are from the tutorials.

I am running on a Mac(OSX) and a PC(XP) using Firefox (primary) Safari and IE7. All browser, plugin and OS software is current.

Any help and/or critiques will be most welcome.

Thanks.... Bruce

Thanks.... Bruce Found the first one.
Put the image number in both.

One example

#ssPrev img {background-image:url(http://belphotos.smugmug.com/photos/prevButton.png);
_background:none;
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(enabled=true,sizingMethod=scale,
src='http://belphotos.smugmug.com/photos/170662010-O.png');}

Add this to CSS to space the show down some.

#ssSlide {margin-top: 30px;}

There's a bug in the show code that skips the first photo in the gallery.

Had me a little confused at first until I realized G for go and S for stop. :D

Hi Allen....
Both fixes to the code worked like a charm. Many thanks, now I can let the bruises heal (from banging my head against the wall).

I suppose my work around for the glitch in the slideshow code will be to simply rearrange the photo order.

The P N S G for the button names was so I wouldn't screw up when I created and placed them. Have to redo them either in traditional symbol format or fancy words, haven't deceided yet. I had left the names (xxxxButton.png) intact assuming that I had to keep the original file names.

Many thanks again for your help. I spent way too much time on this problem before asking for assistance. This is more fun than I expected.
