Hi all,

I was wondering if I could ask a small favor? I develop in a Windows environment and don't have access to a Mac. ONe of my clients has viewed their website on a Mac (OS and browser type unknown) and told me it looks very different than it should.
I think the dhtml is not working in whatever version the mac browser is, so I've created an alternate page. However, I can't test it because I don't have a mac. Would somebody mind visiting the following links and giving me some feedback?

Here is the original page: The logo should fade in, and there is an image slideshow underneath. Background is solid white: http://www.thedanaagency.com

Here is the alternate. If mac type browser is detected, the logo is static, and the pictures are displayed in random arrangement every time the page is loaded: http://www.thedanaagency.com/index1.asp

On Windows platform with IE5+ the pages should behave the same way.

Could anybody tell me if they see anything different on a Mac and if the second page resolves the problems?

Thanks,
Carrie

The first page works OK for me (Safari 2.0.3), though the logo doesn't fade in. I'm not sure what the slide-show is meant to do, but the images continually change (with no transition effect) from left to right. The alternate looks almost identical, though the logo is closer to the slideshow box, and of course the images don't change.

If you want the logo to fade in correctly on Safari, try using:
style.opacity

in your script (http://www.thedanaagency.com/slideold.js), instead of
style.KhtmlOpacity

I've made several websites with fade-ins, and style.opacity works perfectly on Safari (the default Mac browser), Firefox 1.5.x and Opera 9.

For IE 5+, style.filter="alpha(opacity="+this.degree+")" is OK of course - you don't need to change that part (I use the same).
