I have tested the slideshow module in both Firefox 1.5+ and IE 7 beta with similar results. I have uploaded three images to the slidshow node but it degrades to regular html with the previous and next links. I have JavaScript enabled in both browsers, but the module does not produce the slideshow.

Also, when deleting a pic from the node I noticed the original is deleted while the formatted picture is left in the folder. For instance, I have 750x300 px max setting for the upload and slideshow module. When I check the delete pic box or delete the whole node, the original pic is deleted while the formatted pic with a filename such as 'picname.750x300.jpg' is not deleted.

Thank you for submitting this issue. However, please submit a separate issue for the second problem you have encountered so they can be treated and discussed individually as the obviously don’t have to do anyhting with each other.

To your first issue: I really can’t say anything to statements like “it’s not working”. I have lots of reports of successful usages so it can’t be broken in general. Do you use any other JavaScript libraries such as jQuery or Prototype on your site? If so, it could be possible that one of these overwrites Drupal’s $ function. If not, could you please take a look at the JavaScript console (in Firefox it’s Tools => JavaScript console) and try to figure out what errors might be related with this issue.

No, I don't believe I'm using any other Javascript libraries.

Here's what I pulled from the Javascript console for my test site http://www.mypetsupplyonline.com/ 

Error: syntax error
Source File: javascript: http://mypetsupplyonline.com/node/29

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIWebNavigation.loadURI]"  nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/viewSource.js :: viewSource :: line 145"  data: no]

I'm a Javascript n00b so you'll have to help me out a bit. Thanks!

I tested the script again in various browsers including Safari and Firefox but I could not find a browser where it's not working. Is it possible that you have an extension installed that interferes with the script? Namely, do you have a "viewsource" extension?

Just tried it on a clean 4.7.3 install without any luck. The only other extra module I have installed for that site is cutomerror, so I don't think there are any extra javascript libraries.

I'll just use this slideshow module utilizing the previous and next buttons... Perhaps in 5.0 I'll be able to use this module with another site with the javascript working.

Again, do you have any Firefox extensions installed that could interfere with the JavaScript?

I do have the Web Developer toolbar installed in Firefox that has a 'View Source' option...

But, the auto slideshow functionality isn't working in Internet Explorer for me either??? I've tested on two different Windows XP machines and a Linux box with Firefox that doesn't have the Web Developer toolbar installed.

Hmm, I just saw that you have multiple slideshows on one site. That doesn't work unfortunately because the elements are targeted with IDs rather than classes. I fixed this issue in the HEAD version (which doesn't work with Drupal 4.7, just with 5.0dev).

For 4.7, this is a won't fix issue because the targeting with classes is too complex for generic JavaScript and requires jQuery.
