Hey Guys me again (your worst nightmare),

I have Slide Show Pro working really well and want to thank you all for helping me get this off the ground. Though it works well in Internet Explorer I cant seem to get it to work in Fire Fox. I have cleared all cache and still the same problem.

Any Ideas? http://smoaklandco.com/ds_detail.php?24

The .xml file shows the images at: http://smoaklandco.com/images.xml.php?24

This is the detail page of one of the listings, some listings dont have pics so I showed this particular one.

Hope you can help.

All the best Emil

PS. A big HI to Dave and Jake.....

Hi. I just took a quick look at your page and noticed a few things which might be causing you problems. The first thing I would try would be to remove the following code from the first line in your page:

<?xml version='1.0'?>


I also noticed that there are several tags which are not closed. I have seen cases where this has caused some weird effects (like something working in one browser but not another). After removing the above code, try closing the stylesheet link tags you have in the head of the page.

Change this:

<link href="css/ds_featured.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/style_all.css" rel="stylesheet">




To this:

<link href="css/ds_featured.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="css/style_all.css" rel="stylesheet" />


Try these two things and let me know if that resolves your problem with your slideshow not working in Firefox. If that does not work for you, then I will take another look.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. I did manage to contact SlideShoPro and they said that there was a cross domain issue and it is all described here: http://wiki.slideshowpro.net:80/SSPfl/CP-Crossdomain

This works --> [url "http://www.smoaklandco.com/ds_detail.php?24"]http://www.smoaklandco.com/ds_detail.php?24[/#810081][/url]
This does not --> [url "http://smoaklandco.com/ds_detail.php?24"]http://smoaklandco.com/ds_detail.php?24[/#810081][/url]


So I needed to create an .xml file with the following info and save as crossdomain.xml and place it in the same folder as the .xml file for the slideSho... resides. You can get a much more detailed description from the link above, but apparently, SlideShoPro serches for this crossdomain.xml file. I dont know why they just dont include it as a file to upload.
  1. <cross-domain-policy>[/#006699]
  2. <allow-access-from[/#006699] domain[/#ff0000]="www.mydomain.com"[/#0000ff] />[/#006699]
  3. <allow-access-from[/#006699] domain[/#ff0000]="mydomain.com"[/#0000ff] />[/#006699]
  4. </cross-domain-policy>[/#006699]


I guess if you guys end up creating some tutorial, this would be something you could add.



Thanks for the heads up on closing the tags. I appreciate all your work.

All the best Emil
