Spry image slideshow not displaying as expected

Hoping someone in this forum can help, as I have previously posted this problem in the Spry forum, but I only got one answer and it didn't seem to fix the problem.
I used the widget browser to place a copy of the 'spry image slideshow with filmstrip' widget on to one of my web pages. When this page displays, there is a big gap (like excess padding) above the main image (between the outer frame and the main image frame). I can't see why this is happening or what bit of HTML/CSS to tweak to sort it out.
I have uploaded my test page to the server and you can see it here:

any and all help gratefully received.

The problem lies with stylesheet.css. If you delete that, you will see that the slideshow will display as expected.
When doing a layout for the page, just look at the basics. In your case you have got a header, a sidebar, main content and a footer, all within a width of 960px and centered within the viewport. The basic CSS for the layout would look like
/* CSS Document */
html {
    margin: 0px;
    color: #666;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-family: Arial;
    background: #666 url(images/page_bkgd.jpg) repeat-x;
body {
    width: 960px;
    margin: auto;
    background: #FFF url(images/content_bkgd_tile.jpg) repeat-y;
#header {
    height: 180px;
    background: #4971a2 url(images/banner_bkgd.jpg) no-repeat;
#aside {
    width: 20%;
    float: left;
    /*----for this example only*/
    background: #cfcfcf;
    min-height: 400px;
    /*----end for this example only*/
#article {
    width: 80%;
    float: left;
    min-height: 400px; /*for this example only*/
#footer {
    clear: both;
    height: 88px;
    background: #cfcfcf url(images/footer_bkgd.jpg) no-repeat;
The HTML will look like
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="untitled.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<h1>My Header</h1>
</div>
<div id="aside">
    My Menu Bar
</div>
<div id="article">
    this is where the slideshow goes
</div>
<div id="footer">
    my copyright etc
</div>
</body>
</html>

Why is the Spry image slideshow not showing all of the thumbnails?

Hi, I have a problem with the Spry image slideshow with filmstrip. I downloaded it and inserted all of my pictures and thumbnails. When I load it up in Firefox and IE seems to work perfectly.
However when one scrolls through the images, some of the thumbnails are not displaying. Also, sometimes some of the images won´t display at all. I have double checked the files and they are
all the correct size (100x100 for the thumbnails) and they are all available in the proper slideshow folder on my webpage. I am at a loss as to what the problem is, since it works fine for the other
images. Here is a link to the site:
http://priental-solar.de/referenzen.htm
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

All working OK here. All thumbnails and fullsize images appear OK.

Spry Image Slideshow not being nice, please help

Ok, first off, web design novice so please keep it simple for me. I'm trying to set up a portfolio page for a photography website using the Spry Image Slideshow Widget with Film Strip in Dreamweaver CS5.5. The problem occurs when I try to set the width and height as a percentage. Width, no problem, but when I try to set up the height as a percentage, the slideshow disappears and I'm left with just the thumbnail film strip. To clarify here's what I'm doing - in Adobe Widget Browser in the "Frame & View Port" Tab, Change Frame Width to 70% and View Port Height to 70%. In the Live View pane of the Adobe Widget Browser, the slideshow frame changes size with the window as expected, but go to Dreamweaver, open up a blank HTML page, Insert: widget.. and bam, no slideshow, just a row of thumbnails. Thrashing around in the dark here, please help...

Wow, it's like a ghost town on here, think I find a different slideshow.......

Spry Image Slideshow not showing if less than 2 photos

I have the
Spry Image Slidshow working properly on my webpage. The problem is that I am dynamically populating a dataset with data from the database using a category id of the photos. If there are at least 3 photos then the control is rendered properly to the page and the photos start showing as a slideshow and all is well.
If there are less than 3 photos the thumbnails render properly but the waiting screen for the viewer just stays black with the image loading going. the Play, Next, and Previous buttons never render either. If I click on any of the thumbnails the picture is shown in the viewer but the slideshow will never play.
I think if there is only one photo it should be able to be displayed as a slideshow as well but not really do anything. I think if there is a limitation of at least 3 photos this needs to be fixed. Thank you for any help anyone can give me on how to get this to work with less than 3 photos.

I realize the previous post is a little dated, but I'm having the same problem described above. Does anyone know how to maintain slideshow functionality with fewer than 3 images? Obviously, you don't need a slideshow for just one image, but I have several pages on my website where it would be nice to cycle between 2 images. I'm guessing this would require some modification to the SpryImageSlideshow.js file, but I don't know enough about JavaScript to even tinker around with it. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Spry Image Slideshow Thumbnail's do not show properly

Hello World!
This is my first time using the forums here at Adobe.
My problem is that I have inserted a Basic Spry Image slideshow like so:
The size is ~ 250px by 200px
And once I go into live view, the slide show only displays the top right corner and not the whole image itself. I tried downsizing the image in design view to "look" like the same size of the thumbtails below but that did not do anything.
In my local file(not sure if you can see to the left) my images are saved in a file called 'images', and thumbs in a subfolder called 'thumbs'. (I read that images need to have same scr and link names?)
If anyone can help me out that would be great!! Thanks guys!

Okay, so I found my error, my Link photo was super duper big!
I played around with the resizing and it fitted better.

Slideshow images will not display correctly on mobile phone

Hello,
I have a website which I used several slideshows, in areas I would typically just used a rectangle and fill with photo. This was done because my client wants to be able to update the images through business catalyst. Unfortunately, when viewed on a mobile phone (I am using iOS 7) the slide show images do not display correctly.
What can be done to fix this? Is there another workaround I should try?
Thanks!

Hi Nicole
The images that you are using on parties page are stretched , if you check the image frame you can see that.
As a result the image frame is stretched over the side image , they are not showing properly. If you resize from Muse end , then also it would not be fixed because Muse remembers the image size as you have inserted and when viewed , Muse stretches the image to original size as how it was inserted.
Please resize the images outside Muse , use any image editor like Photoshop and then use the exact dimension of the image frame on page.
This would resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Spry Image Slideshow does not work in Explorer

My spry image slideshow works fine in Safari and Firefox, but does not work in Explorer.
A small box shows up in IE 8, and absolutely nothing shows up in IE 7.
www.epaaudio.com
Any Suggestions?

How did you get your slideshow to play in Internet Explorer? I'm using the same slideshow on my new website and it plays fine in everything but IE versions. Here's a test page I'm working on... http://4034.sandbox.i3dthemes.net/oceankayakbanzai.html
I looked at the code for your page and didn't notice anything different on mine. But yours works... Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Why are my Spry Image Slideshow slide titles not appearing sometimes?

I inserted a Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip Basic widget using 3 photos to try it out. It is working fine except for the slide titles.The slide titles appear in Firefox and in Opera, but not in Safari. Haven't tried it in IE browsers yet.
Any idea why the titles are not showing up all of the time?
Thanks.

All working OK here. All thumbnails and fullsize images appear OK.

Spry Image Slideshow works locally but not live!?!?

I am new to the whole website creation. I used the Spry Image Slideshow widget from the widget browser and everything works perfectly when I tested it locally. However, once i uploaded to the server and tested the links I get errors stating that it cannot locate the .js files. Like stated, I am very much new to this and have no idea how to fix this problem. Has anyone else ran into this or know of a solution?
My website address is www.terranceperdue-architecture.com and the links in question are on the portfolio link.
So more specifically:
http://www.terranceperdue-architecture.com/Design%20Studio%201.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am hoping to use this website to gain an internship for the summer. But if it is not working then that is not an option.
Thanks for any and all insight.
-Terrance

I see where you have posted that you got your slideshow to work, but I do not see any of the reponses on how you did it. I am having the same problem when I test my slideshow locally on dreamweaver it works, but it does not work when I upload it to the internet. It doesn't give me any error, but all it does is show me a black box with a spinning play button like it is trying to load. It doesn't do anything else. I have tried looking at IE, Safari, and Firefox and I get the same thing on all of them.
Thanks,
Christin

Hi,
I am having trouble getting Spry Image Slideshow to work on my test site. Can somebody help me?
Problem:     I only see the "play" button spinning after it went live but cannot get the slideshow to appear.
Details:
     Dreamweaver CS5.5
     Widget :     Spry image Slideshow Basic 1.0 - (widget wid = "2141542")
     Mac OS 10.6.3
     Mozilla Firefox 8.0.1
               1. Inserted Spry Image Slideshow 1.0 widget into my page "ACS_shipping.html"
               2. Replaced sample pictures and thumbnail pictures with some of my test pictures.
               3. A list of thumbnails appears on my design page.
               3. Click on "Live View" button; only see the frame and the black background with the "play" button spinning on the screen.
               4. Uploaded files on server and found same result.
    Webpage Link:            locicompany.ca/ACS/ACS_shipping.html

I don't know what to say....I tried all night it didn't work. As soon as I posted my question on the forum the slideshow starts running....wow....I'm speechless. Thanks all who's looked at my post.

Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip- Filmstip thumbs loading incorrectly

Hello, I am hoping someone will be able to help me. I loaded the Widget for the Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip. After reading several tutorials as that the product did not work correctly, I finally got the corrupted .js fixed (thanks Accustic Gramps for all your posts very helpful when going through looking). First page looks great, now, I put the slideshow on another page and loaded it, but the filmstrip is now loading off placement so the thumbs are all messed up.
Hoping someone can help me.

And now my second apology, I have tried the page in IE7+ and in FF and see no problem. Could you please bear with this old soul and explain the problem a bit further.

Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip IE8 Play/Back/Forward Arrows Problem

Please help me. I'm using the Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip widget on my web page: http://new.radcal.com/accugold2.html#sensoroptabs. In Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 9 it displays properly but in Internet Explorer 8 the gray Play/Back/Forward Arrows automatically appear on the Viewport (main large slide area) when the page loads and they do not go away, ever. Whereas in the other browsers these arrows only show up when I move my mouse into the viewport area and go away as soon as I take my mouse off the viewport area.
I need the arrows to behave in IE8 like they do in IE9, Firefox, etc. I do not know javascript but I imagine there is some javascript code that could solve this problem. Does anyone know of a solution? Please help me...

At the top of your document you have
<html>

<head>
Add the DOCTYPE as follows
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>

<head>
Without a DOCTYPE on the very first line of the document, IE goes into Quirks Mode

How do I link web pages in a Spry Image Slideshow using Dreamweaver CS5?

I have used the Widget Browser to create the spry image slideshow and would like to link the large image displayed to a webpage? Is there any code or easy way to link the slideshow images to webpages?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hans-G; thanks for the code. I am not sure where to place the code. When I insert the widget spry image slideshow, I get the following below. Where shall I place the code, thanks again:

IE 7 and 8, photos not loading, image slideshow not working

I have invested hours and hours and hours on my website, only to find out that what I see on my computer is not what others (users of IE versions 7 and 8) see. I have determined from reading other queries on this forum that the Spry Image slideshow widget is a problem for just about everyone. If this widget does not work in IE 7 or 8, is there another widget or another solution so that photos can be displayed on the website?
I would also like to know why some of the single photos on various pages do not load properly.
The website is:http://nhcstar.org

Spry version 1.6x does not work very well with Spry version 1.7. Hence you will have to treat both versions with soft gloves.
If, for instance you were to place version 1.6x above version 1.7, you might find you you will get some kindness in return.
In other words,

SPRY Image Slideshow, compatibility problems with IE

Hello, i recently used the Spry image slideshow in my website. All works great in every browser except IE. I could actually get it to work when i changed the DOCTYPE from: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> TO: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">
BUT,
that totally skrewed the rest of my content. also i added the meta tag: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" > and that fixed the slideshow, but again skrewed my content.
Has anyone found a solution? i looked through past discussions but couldnt find one.

i dont think you understood my question, wasnt about body background, but abut the spry image slideshow to work properly in IE
I was not talking about body background, but about having markup that screws up your document when using a browser. Body background just happened to be there. Perhaps you would do well to have a look here http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Flittletreats.org%2F.
I have noticed that you ignored my solution; your document still shows two bodies.
Perhaps I should have mentioned that I tested in IE6 through to IE9 using IETester and the above was the only thing stopping IE from performing properly.
How did you determine that the slideshow was not working correctly in IE and which versions of IE?
