Hi,
I am helping a friend build a website. I am very much a beginner. I was so proud of myself for learning how to put a slideshow on his webpage and it was working great in Safari until I tried to load it on his computer in IE. None of the images will show up. I can not figure this one out. Please help me! The web site is www.freihjordan.com if anyone wants to look.
Thank you so much in advance!
(Also remember that I am a beginner and I am just getting a hold of this stuff in any explanations! Thanks.)
Kelli

Hi, although I don't know javascrpt, I thought I'd try and help. Basically, from having a look, it seems the three image files (slide1.jpg etc) contains errors for some reason. What I'd do is forget this slide show and start from scratch as it only takes a few minutes to set a slide show up. I'd go to one of the following:

http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/slideshow.php

http://www.slideroll.com/

So much better and neater than a boring javascript one. Hope that helped!

The short answer is that your image urls are wrong.
Actually (and don't take this the wrong way), a lot of your code is flat out wrong... See here for a detailed breakdown:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freihjordan.com%2F
You have a lot of tags that are never closed, setting properties that don't exist, etc...

When I go to your page, I see the outlines of 3 images that refuse to load. According to the properties for the 3rd image, the url should be http://www.freihjordan.com/images/special.jpg. However, if I enter that URL into my address bar, I get a File Not Found. That shows right away that something is wrong, since there is no image where the browser is expecting to find one. Verify that your images are in the correct location before going any further.

Also, you seem to be using relative addresses to load your images, but you're starting them off with "./". I'm not positive, but I don't believe that is valid. Starting with "../" means "parent of the current directory", and "/" will jump up to the root, but I don't believe "./" will do anything other than cause problems

I dont think you upload the images to the image directory.
If you right mouse click on the image you will see the url like Tweak4 posted but if you look in your image dir those pictures are not listed.
