Only Controller visible on first load

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Cache is empty
2. Firefox
3. Javascript from http://www.multimap.com/openapidocs/1.2/demos/index.htm

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Instead of the slideshow I see blank. Hovering reveals the controller.
Loading another website and pressing "back" button lets the slideshow
start. Example http://photos.axelebert.org/slideshow-kailash.html

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and
browser?
Slideshow and Mootools 2r147 (latest)
WinXP-SP3
Firefox 3.5.2

Please provide any additional information below.
Without the multimap javascript I have no problem.
Could it be a "time"-issue?
To specify width and height of first image (as suggested in another thread
does not help)
To state "no resize" does not help, pictures all match same spezified size
anyhow.

I was not precise on the initial view: I see the controller like a fix picture 
on
white background. Later when hovering the mouse the controller appears/ 
disappears.

When the slideshow is running - just pressing the reload button in Firefox 
browser
leads to the same behavior.

This is using firebug result after pressing reload button. Image style display 
is
suddenly "none"

<div id="show" class="slideshow" style="display: block; position: relative; 
z-index: 0;">
<div class="slideshow-images" style="overflow: hidden; display: block; height: 
450px;

When I load from cache this is with correct display. Image style display is 
"block"

<div id="show" class="slideshow" style="display: block; position: relative;

On the default image you have the height and width set in pixels which is not 
valid:

<img src="album-kailash/Baryang_Kyakyaru_01.jpg" alt="Baryang_Kyakyaru_01.jpg"
width="600px" height="450px" />

Try setting it to this:

<img src="album-kailash/Baryang_Kyakyaru_01.jpg" alt="Baryang_Kyakyaru_01.jpg"
width="600" height="450" />

See if that fixes the problem.

Tried, but no success.

I tried the original slideshow.css but same behavior. 

What is also strange - after loading from cache the transitions work only when 
the
active thumbnail is NOT centered, for example at begin or when hovering with 
mouse on
left or right of thumbs.

Meanwhile I can confirm no problem with Firefox under SuSe Linux, and no 
problem with
IE6, and no problem at all, if Multimap javascript is disabled.

I do not understand the code well enough, but maybe you could run the "Firebug" 
addon
from Firefox to see where the unusual behavior starts? It reveals all styles 
and java
response.

Of course the bug it could be related to the Multimap javascript.

I want to use this opportunity to say thanks for your project, you can also put 
my
website http://photos.axelebert.org as reference if you like. If there is no 
solution
I will separate the map/slideshow on my websites.

Thanks and Regards
Axel

Perhaps try changing the order in which the different Javascripts are loaded?

• Changed state: Invalid

I forgot to mention I already done this, both in header and in body text. It is 
no
different. I will split the content then.
