Default DW Image Swapping Behavior Fails in IE -- help... - 08-02-2004 , 11:43 PM






I recently made a site for an artist that utilizes DW's image swapping behavior
to swap images in the gallery (you click on the thumbnails)


http://szalla.com/neu/gallery/

It works fine on my Macintosh -- in Safari and in IE 5.5 -- but the artist
said it wasn't working for him. I went to an internet caf? and sure enough it
didn't work in IE (I don't remember the version) on PC -- altho' it worked in
Mozilla and NN 7.1. In IE it seems the images don't come up when clicking the
thumbnails --

Can anyone help me with this? I've actually done two sites based on this
template and need to fix the problem pronto -- preferably without much change.
Would preloading the images help? (they're big, though). Will I have to do this
with layers? Argh.

It should work, no?

Thanks very much for any help!

The first one works, the others don't.....unless I go to the specific image
in the directory, then it shows from then on. Makes me wonder if you need to
Preload them (you're not now, you only seem to be preloading the navigation
images). Go through the Swap Image behaviors and try that.

Thanks! But yes, I thought of that -- I can try preloading them, but they are
fairly heavy images (artwork: needs to be highquality) -- so it'd be like 400k
to load all of them -- a lot. That's why I didn't.

But more than that: why won't it work? It's a DW built-in behavior. Supposed
to be OK for IE 4.0 and above. What is the problem here? It works fine in
Safari, Mozilla, NN -- and on IE 5.5 on my Mac (OS/X) -- it works fine here, so
I actually have to go out to test it on a machine that doesn't work. What's the
problem?

Any clues, hints, help much appreciated.

It doesn't work in IE 6.2 or Netscape 7.0 on my WinXP-Pro machine. If I
click on a thumbnail, then right-click on where the image should be and
choose "show picture" it loads. It makes me think you do need to preload
them. I do whenever I use this behavior and don't have any problem.

Hey, it's worth trying to preload a couple of them and see if it helps.
