I am having trouble with my slideshow. I have a page with 4 spry tabs
and 3 of them have slideshows. I've set up the page for multiple
slideshows, but only the first tab works correctly. These are 2 issues
I'm having:

1. The thumbnails work properly for the first tab, but for the other
tabs they seem to stack upon one another and flutter when you
mouseover. This is a real poser for me because I'm more of an js
implementer than a coder and I"m not sure how to correct this.

2. When you switch to a different tab, you get a smaller photo
artifact for a couple of seconds in the right corner of the slideshow
screen.

Here is where the website can be viewed: http://www.interimdesigngroup.com/threesprings/area.shtml

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Nektar 72

The issue is probably that slideshow can't calculate dimensions properly when it is hidden. It's really a general issue with javascript/DOM-manipulation: when an element is set as display:none - like the hidden tabs - nodes inside of them have no height/width. The workaround would be to initialize each slideshow once the tab is visible.

Aeron,

Thank you for your reply! It's an incredible help. Unfortunately, I'm
unfamiliar with how to code js, I'm just an implementer. I was
wondering if you knew how to accomplish what you've outlined here?
(ie. initialize the slideshow once tab is visible).

Thanks,

Aeron,

I was hoping that you could help me finish this project as my client is waiting. I receive your message below, but I don't know how to initialize the slideshow on tab visibility. Can you please help me? I'm willing to pay you for your time....

Thanks,
Brian Kuhar
