Are all of your other images in the images folder? If so, I'd suggest just moving blank.gif there (or copying it) and reverting to the original code that was working.

We could also continue this over PMs, but if there's enough debugging interest we can keep it on posts...

Hmm... interesting. As a first try I would move blank.gif into the folder that the code specifies, and then see if everything works. Once everything's working, you'll have a version you can always go back to if things fall apart...

What, you don't think that everyone finds nitpicky posts about code details positively fascinating? 8)

Brooke,
....nitpicky posts....
Was that a little dig at me? Maybe, maybe not.

I see nitpicking as the finding of fault or arguing over insignificant things. Quite different from getting all the details right.

Nitpicking has its roots in an act of caring...

...my dear Fluffy, I get the feeling you have recently come out of a too-hot dryer and are all frazzled. I promise I was referring to no one but myself. :)

Having been gone for a month, I have missed all the hackles being raised and am quite ready to see them flattened again. I wouldn't contribute by adding concealed digs at people, I assure you.

Hi Brooke

As Sarah said, there's seems to be a minor bug somewhere that I cant find. :?: If all else fails then I'll go for re-write.

Many thanks

Lee,

Using IE 6.0 the virtual tour is working for me except that the default gif comes up as a broken link.

The only comment I would make is that you could replace the default "blank" gif with a gif giving a short explanation of how to use the tour.

Thanks for the quick respone. Thats sounds like a good idea. Does the GIF have to be there to start?

I would have thought so, and it would look better, but I really don't know. It's Brooke's invention so she should be able to tell you.
