Hello guys and gals :),

I am using one of the JavaScript codes provided at http://www.javascriptkit.com, and it works great on Chrome and Firefox. But Internet Explorer is giving me trouble :(

Here is the HTML:

Can anyone tell me of I am doing something wrong, or if I just need to use another code for the slideshow to work on ie?

Thank you so much for you time.
