I have looked long and hard for an image script that is compatable with both IE 4+ and NS 5+ Including 6

I am currently using Conveyor belt slideshow script- from
© Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com) but it is not NS compatable

Does anyone know where I can find such a script.
PLEASE

My requirements are Images of same height but different dimentions, conveyor belt movement, hyperlinks are Not required and full table frame 550 pixel width by 150 pixel height.

Thanks in advance

Actually, I've found an applet that also is close to what I need....see http://www.codebrain.com/java/codebrainslider/index_gray.html

Thank you Gordo,
I love it and uploaded it only to find it required Netscape 6.1 min to view with java enabled
Netscape sucks!

Netscape is the compliant browser, so if there is anything that sucks it would be IE and developers who use its proprietary features.......

... had to defend my favorite browser ....

Compliant to what, and going by my site traffic only 42% use NS of which 13% use NS4.2 20 % use NS 5 8% NS6 1% NS6.2.

I would also have to question just how many of those sites have downloaded those add ons say Java. IE has all the required tools downloaded together none of this rubbish of extras, they should be a part of the whole package.

I am aware of the bugs within IE but I have to say I accept them over NS anyday.

I do believe each to his own, however I am just so frustrate in the fact to have a site viewable to a total audience I have to find scripts that work and function within both browsers and this is just IMPOSSIBLE.

Vladdy I'm glad you like NS and wish you well with your surfing I'm only trying to attempt to use tools that will enable people like yourself to view my total content on site and this is just NOT HAPPENING.

The standard is described here:

http://www.w3.org

My approach to browser compatibility (which I admit is not shared by many) is:
1. Code to the standard.
2. Work around a few IE5.5+ problems
3. If old browser is detected give user a warning that he/she may experience problems viewing you site and provide links to upgrade downloads.

I used to be frustrated with all the browser incompatibility as well, untill I figured: "I do my part developing to the standard, browser makers should do their part making compliant browsers, users should do their part by keeping browsing tools up to date"
Utopian? Most probably.... But good for MY mental health....:D

Also, while people spend hours looking for a "perfect" solutiong that requires all sorts of add-ons and such, a "good enough" way of accomplishing the task is right there.
