good info rwegarding the .png transparency... I will keep that in mind.
Also good ot hear that the slide show works for you in FF20 / IE9... Since I implemented your suggestions, then cleared everything (cookies/browse data/history) and I think IE was still finding a cached page for me this whole time. Cause it's now working.
Gotta love technology.
You've been a tremendous help. Thank you again Karen.
