hello all, could not find an answer for this any other thread i've looked at, and also posted in the <a href="http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7737">Simplicious thread in Templates.</a>
i'm using the simplicious template, slightly modified in the direction of <a href="http://www.kulayphotography.com">kulayphotography.com</a> with no thumbnails.

my problem is that the rollovers for prev/next navigation are not showing up. i checked to make sure all the scripts and images are uploaded, and compared my code to a couple other sites using the same rollover setup but couldn't locate the problem. is there an addon i need to install to make this work, or have i buggered the code somewhere?

would appreciate if someone can have a look and tell me what's going wrong on my site at <a href="http://neverdrownout.com">neverdrownout.com</a>
thank you!

In admin -> options -- IMAGES & THUMBNAILS PATH
Make sure you have ../images/ and ../thumbnails/ set for your image and thumbnail path.

Did you check them or are you assuming they're correct? Look at your website in IE.
One of the problems that we've seen a lot is that the page renders correctly, but errors arise when parsing the <IMAGE_HEIGHT> and <IMAGE_WIDTH> tags. In your template you have this:

<div id="menu_browse" style="width: <IMAGE_WIDTH>px; height: <IMAGE_HEIGHT>px;">
<script type="text/javascript">
browsing();
</script>
</div> <!-- menu_browse -->

In your output you have this:

<div id="menu_browse" style="width: px; height: px;">
<script type="text/javascript">
browsing();
</script>
</div> <!-- menu_browse -->


Notice the empty values in width: px; height: px;? This is exactly what we've seen when the paths mentioned in my first post are set incorrectly. Most of the time the page will display normally in Firefox, but nothing shows in IE (as is the case with your site).

hmmm... i thought it would be fine with the full path set for images, that is why i replied that it was correct... turns out it doesn't work that way!

Yeah, there has been quite a bit of confusion with this particular change. Fortunately, though it presents itself in a rather predictable way now, so it's easy to diagnose.

Glad I could help.
