can't view homepage slideshow in safari web browser

pics-ell

i just got a macbook (had been using a pc with firefox) and i'm unable to see the slideshow that i have on my homepage. it is playing on the pc and i'm kind of thinking it is a problem with the safari web browser, but i was just wondering if anyone knew if maybe there was a setting i could change to be able to view it. i can see the slideshow that i've forced in my "contact" area so i'm just not sure why the one on the home page can't be seen. i realize this most likely isn't an actual smugmug problem, but was hoping one of you tech heads might know a solution. thanks...

You have a lot of elements duped in your theme and CSS. I'd start by
combining all your CSS in the CSS customize box and organize it there.
They're a few items that don't seem to exist, at least I've never seen them.

The slideshow you have in your contact gallery is the style set for that
gallery and is independent of the slideshow code in your footer and js.
There it defines the slideshow to your biobox.
i.e. slideshowContainerId = "bioBox";

You're missing some of the javascript slideshow code, no cookie info at
bottom. I would re-paste in the code from the latest text file version 0.58
and see if that gets it running.

thanks for responding. got a few questions... i thought the beauty of css was that you didn't have to get rid of old stuff, but maybe i'm not understanding what you mean when you're talking about duped elements. i haven't done any customization in a while, so all the code stuff i "learned" when i was doing that everyday to get my site up is buried deep somewhere in the nether regions of my gray matter.

didn't realize i was missing some code... where do i find that again? sorry, not to come off like an idiot, i just really haven't done this in a while. and what's this i'm reading in the hacks thread about smugmug slideshow pro? might that be a better way to go?

thanks

The smugmug slideshow pro,SmugSSP , I think is for use with other sites.

I hear ya, unless you work with this everyday it is a bit confusing. The first
about 29 lines are the same in your CSS and theme. Usually the theme will
generically define you pages and the CSS is used for any differences and
overrides any common elements in the theme. So, if in both, the CSS one is
redundant if exactly the same and is just overriding itself.
Make any sense?

In the slideshow thread here message #2 has the txt file for download. It
gets pasted in the js "as is" no changes.

It seems to be working find now, maybe cookies cleared. Check the browser
you originally had a problem with and see if it's ok.
