      I had a friend of mine check out my Spry gallery and there is conflicting reports. Not hundred percent certain of the end user browser, but was wondering if there are any cvompatibility issues.

          Hi,
          It works pretty well. The issues we know about are Safari bugs, not Spry bugs.
          One is that you can't use <image> as a XML node, because Safari will convert it to an IMG tag.
          Another user on this forum was having trouble with Safari when transitioning photo sizes where only one axis was changing sizes. I believe it was solved in the CSS. Do a search of this forum for Safari.
          Othere than that, I don't think there are glaring bugs with it.
          If you find some, please let us know.
          Thanks,
          Don

            Thanks Donald

            Ok I have a few reports from users on Mac OS 9 using Netscape 7.2 and IE (not sure the highest version for that OS), but Gallery seems to not work.

            Gallery - I have this gallery set up for my neighbor, can anyone confirm and/or offer a solution.

            I am on a PC - and it works well with all the latest browsers (Netscape/IE,FireFox and Opera)

            Thanks for your time.

              Ok...that's good to know. I can assure you that we have not tested on OS9 at all....
              Your page seems to be working well on OS X in Safari and Opera 9.
              Again, we are intertested in any browser specifc bugs that you find.
              Thanks,
              Don

                K - thats good to know
                I'll pass along any other feedback as they come in.

                I was at my friends today to view it, unfornately he's weird about anybody touching his computer, so I'll be getting screenshots later tonight.

                In a roundabout description:
                The gallery page loads but just shows an empty box.
                Clicking the Next playback control just shows the resizeing of the css container but no image.

                Hard to say if it's a javascript, xpath or css feature thats an issue altogether.
                Also I didn't use img as an xml node so I know that's not an issue.

                Thanks again

                  I got the two osx 9 users to test the original spry gallery demo and they can report the same results - not working properly.

                  This just to rule out any script or css implementation in my version, so there must be some osx9 incompatibility.
