Slider only appears if page is refreshed

JavaScript
1

Hey,

I ma having an issue with a JavaScript slider. If you look at this page, at times the slider does not work and the user is having to refresh their page before it works. It’s the same in Firefox and IE.

Can anyone see why this is happening?

Thanks

The website does contain some HTML errors and warnings, see

You might want to resolve those and see if it helps. I see that there are two div’s with the same ID, that may throw things off. An ID is allowed to be used only once in a page.

Edit:

As for the “reference to entity “year” for which no system identifier could be generated” warnings, they mean you should use & in your url’s instead of just &

Hmm, yes i just tried it made no difference, it might be some invalid HTML?

Could this be a possibility?

Any ideas anyone?

:confused:

Hey,

I don’t think it’s the twitter that’s causing the problem. When you press Ctrl F5 it just gets rid of the slider, i have tried playing around with the <div>'s but no luck…

Have you tried removing the twitter script from your site and see if then works?
When I got the 502 error from twitter the scroller didn’t work, when I didn’t get the error the scroller worked.

Hey, it didn’t work this time.
Gave a 502 bad gateway error for this file

Seems there’s a problem with twitter. No idea how to solve it though.

Hey,

This is what i see when the page is first loaded, i just checked in IE7/8…

Now i have also checked on other machines so i don’t think it’s a caching problem. I pressed Ctrl F5 in Firefox and the slideshow vanished…

Any ideas what i might be doing wrong? I have taken out that inactivedot.png as it was not linking to anything.

Just unsure as to why this does not work as it should…

Thanks

I have just tried adding “background:#000;” to the slider div when the page doesn’t show the slider images. It shows the black background, so i think it’s a problem with the images…

Works fine on FF Mac.

Works for me too. Maybe it’s a caching problem?

Btw, you link to the following resources, which give a 404 not found:
