Topic: SimpleViewer looks different between IE7 & Firefox 3.6

Hi,
Just revamped my galleries and frontpage slideshow. Initially experienced the yellow/brown background problem, which was corrected using ‘params.wmode = "transparent", but now the styling of my frontpage slideshow and galleries look different between IE7 (incorrectly shows buttons & titlebar appear) and Firefox 3.6 (correctly shows no buttons & titlebar). All looks fine on IE6. 
I hope you can help
Thanks in advance!

It looks fine to me in IE did you try clearing your browser's cache?

Yes, I have deleted the cache. On my machine with IE7 the slideshow should scroll automatically, and display no buttons, but it doesn’t. It scrolls and displays correctly in IE6 and Firefox. I have no idea why the formatting is different for me between IE6 & IE7! I have made other galleries which also show incorrectly in IE7 (i.e. thumbnails fail to appear).

Just noticed that the demo of simpleviewer here: http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/examples/modern/
looks different on my machine between IE7 & FF. No thumbnails appear in IE. Looks correct in FF.

I'm guessing you don't have Flash installed for IE. Check your Flash installation here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
