help request: ie / ff rendering difference

anyone whos bored - please check:

http://www.jgrant.com/lionshare/brand.htm

in IE - the slideshow images fade in and out
in FF - they click / click / click

i can live with that - but there is a speed issue:
in order for FF to go the correct speed i want - ie has to be slowed down to an almost "dont even notice theres a slide show" delay

actually - here's a link of just the include:
http://www.jgrant.com/lionshare/slides_brand.htm

when i set the speed in ie to be like ff - ff goes insane at like 2 pic a second clk,clk,clk fast

ive searched and cant find any other fading scripts that work in both

any help would be appriciated - otherwise ignore

This is probably not what you are looking for, but can you just have two methods based on the browser type ?

Hi Jamie,
Do you use MozOpacity for Firefox?

object.style.MozOpacity=op;
//where op is a decimal between 0 and 1.

Maybe these can help?  I am guessing the examples of this page might be changeable to work without clicking.

So you're reccomending using a non-standard feature.
For a browser touted for its great standards support.
As a workaround for a browser-specific standard code rendering problem.

Opera 8 and Firefox (as of 1.0.4) both support the Opacity: <decimal>; value. Rather than the propriety "-moz-opacity: <decimal>;" property.

I think the reason that FireFox goes Spaz on the timing issue is cos there is no fading in Firefox, whereas there is in IE. So the time that it takes to fade in IE is removed when viewing in Firefox, making it run like crazy between the pics.
But I think w3bbo's right, you can use the standard opacity property now that it's supported in FF.
Just my two cents

I would just use an animated GIF image myself ^Shrug^

Could even create it server side on the fly.

so from what i can tell its a ff bug and the best way to go is to separate the script - per browser

unfortunately i dont know how to program - so inserting a detect browser script within and exisitng script is beyond me

if theres an easy way to do this id love to use it

<script

if ff = same script (using existing time)

if IE = same script - i can speed it up

/script>

?
