Javascript slideshow shows twice in Internet Exporer
Posted on 2013-05-26
The slideshow this javascript renders works fine in Chrome and Safari but renders a double image (one on top of the other) in IE 10.0.5.
in the head:
in the body, where the slideshow goes:
in the head:
<style>#trans { BORDER-TOP: #77f 0px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #77f 0px solid; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; BORDER-BOTTOM: #77f 0px solid; POSITION: relative; ZOOM: 1; BORDER-LEFT: #77f 0px solid; DISPLAY: inline; -moz-box-orient: vertical }
#itop { CURSOR: pointer; POSITION: absolute; LEFT: 0px; Z-INDEX: 2; TOP: 0px }
</style>
in the body, where the slideshow goes:
<div id="trans"><img id=ibom
src="<%= Pic1 %>" width=791 height=410
> <img onclick=gotoshow();
id=itop src="<%= Pic2 %>" width=791 height=410
>
</div>
<script>/* <![CDATA[ */
// it seems best if this Javascript is Below the HTML for the Images
var see = 100, tImg = false, iBom=false, tID=0;
// I use the iNum (image number) for Array count
// because This has Two Images already in the Box to start, The iNum need to start at 2
var tRapid = 50, iNum = 2, slidespeed=5000;
var slidelinks = ["<%= URL1 %>","<%= URL2 %>","<%= URL3 %>","<%= URL4 %>","<%= URL5 %>"];
var slideimages = ["<%= Pic1 %>","<%= Pic2 %>","<%= Pic3 %>","<%= Pic4 %>","<%= Pic5 %>"];
// BELOW is a method for PRE-LOADING the Transition images
// there may be an Unwanted Initial Delay if you do Not Pre-Load the Images
var preImg = [];
for (var i = 0; i < slideimages.length; i++) {
preImg[i] = new Image;
preImg[i].src = slideimages[i];
}
tImg= document.getElementById("itop");
iBom= document.getElementById("ibom");
var useO = 'opacity' in document.documentElement.style;
function dofade(){
see -= 6;
if (see < 10) {
see = 100;
tImg.src = iBom.src;
if(useO) tImg.style.opacity = 1.0;
else tImg.style.filter='alpha(opacity='+ 100 +')';
iBom.src = slideimages[iNum];
iNum++;
if (iNum >= slideimages.length) {
iNum = 0;
}
tID=setTimeout("dofade();",slidespeed);
return;
}
tID=setTimeout("dofade();", tRapid);
if(useO) tImg.style.opacity = see/100;
else tImg.style.filter='alpha(opacity='+ see +')';
}
tID=setTimeout("dofade();", slidespeed);// starts the slides with page load
function gotoshow(){
var cur = iNum-2; // has to go back by Two
if (cur == -1) cur = slidelinks.length-1;
if (cur == -2) cur = slidelinks.length-2;
window.location = slidelinks[cur];

As I was checking in FF it seems same as your IE: Now add the style in top after #itop style:
#ibom{display:none}
<style>#trans { BORDER-TOP: #77f 0px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #77f 0px solid; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; BORDER-BOTTOM: #77f 0px solid; POSITION: relative; ZOOM: 1; BORDER-LEFT: #77f 0px solid; DISPLAY: inline; -moz-box-orient: vertical }
#itop { CURSOR: pointer; POSITION: absolute; LEFT: 0px; Z-INDEX: 2; TOP: 0px }
#ibom{display:none}
</style>
jagadishdulal, adding the

The problem is you need to position your images absolutely in the trans div However your use of tables for this page is not ideal.
Using tables for layout is a bad idea - and for your website not at all necessary.
Changing at this point though I suspect is not on your todo list - but you may need to change the markup of the cells that contain the image
Remove the <td> elements around the cell with the images.
Make the <td> parent for the table vertical align top (use style="vertical-align: top" rather than the deprecated attribute valiagn). You will need to give #trans a width and a height and the row containing trans a height of 410px as well as a vertical-align top.
I managed to get this to work making modifications in firebug code attached if you can use it.
In future don't use ImageReady to slice your page - rather code it yourself properly - will save many hours of frustration trying to get layout issues sorted out.

julianH,
Unfortunately, it did not work, still getting doubling of images in IE but, with that changes, now also getting them in Chrome, in which it worked before
Thanks for the attempt

Well, I spoke to soon. . . works in IE, Chrome, and Safari but still getting doubling of images in Firefox.
Any ideas on how to eliminate this?

I don't think you followed my instructions though
First change your #trans style
First change your #trans style
#trans {
border-color: #7777FF;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0;
height: 410px;
margin-left: 10px;
position: relative;
vertical-align: top;
width: 791px;
}
<td colspan="3">
<div id="trans">
<img id="ibom" src="../Images/Gallery/Section-Home-Top-Pic_02.jpg" height="410" width="791" />
<img style="opacity: 1;" onclick="gotoshow();" id="itop" src="http://pensarctest1.com/Images/Gallery/Homepage_Pic4.jpg" height="410" width="791" />

And keep in mind that a large part of your problem here is you are using tables for your layout.
OK, thanks, the "<td colspan="3">" was the trigger that got it to work in Firefox. I appreciate the persistence.
