photo gallery: slide show problem- why?

[Guest]

When I preview the photo gallery in the slide show layout in my Broser-
Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox,
everything seems to be fine but unfortunately, as I am sure you are familiar
with the slide show layout :
the top of the page shows thumbnail pictures,
As you wish to see more thumbnails there is a scrolling button at each end
allowing you to go forwards or backwards.
This is where the problem is, in previewing in my Browser there are no
scrolling buttons and the thumnails go on and on, so the layout looks untidy
and confusing but in the Front page preview and normal tabs everything works
fine. ?
Has anyone else had this problem did you find out why and manage to solve it?

FP's slide show gallery doesn't work well in other browsers. Take a look at JAlbum (third party freebie) there are many "skins" for it and you can easily Import an album you've created with JAlbum into FP.

it's great. it will take some experimenting to get it the way you want it, or you can just use one that fits your needs.

you will generate an album into a folder OUTSIDE of FP. then when you're happy with it you will IMPORT that entire folder into FP, create a link back to your web and you're done.

hints:
you can customize the album before you generate it and you can customize further once it's in FP...thats where most of your experimenting will come into play...what to customize and where

Are you allowing Java to run? I think if you block MS java the page will not
load correct. Try my photopage to see if it works for you.
www.unitedfence.com then select a photo gallery.

FYI: Java and JavaScript are two total different technologies. The photo gallery is based on
JavaScript. By default all browsers allow JavaScript.

Java requires that the user have Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed.

They don't need Java to run.

My browser at first would block the gallery from loading properly which had
the same stretching effect until I allowed the script (whatever it is) to
run. Just thought it was worth a try because MS gallery is easy and I like
using the program.

You have to view it from a internet location, not from your HD to avoid it being blocked by Windows
XP SP2.
