If you look at the web page below you will note that the image fades slightly for an instant a few moments before one image transitions to the next. I know the image is supposed to fade during the transition, but this definitely occurs before:

This does not occur in Internet Explorer 8, also the duration between images appears to be shorter in IE 8.

I have no idea what is causing this, any ideas?

Look carefully at what nodes the view brings back. You have node pairs with the same image which is why the images fades out and than the same image (but the next one) fades in.

I got rid of the node with the repeated image, but the problem is still persisting. This is a real hard one to figure out.

I am certain that the duplication is still there. Maybe cachine issue.
Use firebug to see what are the actual nodes (and images) that were brought.

You were right, when I looked at the code I could see two instances of the same jpg.

I reverted the ajax_slideshow_view to the default state and made my customizations again. This solved the problem with the mystery fade. I'm not sure how I screwed up the original version of ajax_slideshow_view, but apparently I had put something in there that was loading the same image twice.

Thanks very much for helping me solve this.
