document.write('<div style="position:relative;width:'+slideshow_width+';height:'+slideshow_height+';overflow:hidden"><div id="canvas0" style="position:

absolute;width:'+slideshow_width+';height:'+slideshow_height+';top:0;left:0;filter:alpha(opacity=10);-moz-opacity:10"></div><div id="canvas1" style="

Hi stef25,

Have you tried it like this?

document.write("<div style='position:relative;width:+slideshow_width+;height:+slideshow_height+;overflow:hidden'><div id='canvas0' style='position:
absolute;width:+slideshow_width+;height:+slideshow_height+;top:0;left:0;filter:alpha(opacity=10);-moz-opacity:10'></div><div id='canvas1' style='
position:absolute;width:+slideshow_width+;height:+slideshow_height+;top:0;left:0;filter:alpha(opacity=10);-moz-opacity:10'></div></div>")

Nothing jumps out, but try stripping various bits out until IE doesn't choke anymore, then you will have found the culprit.

george i pasted your code in there but i get the same error msg. if im not mistaken you replaced the ' with " right?

its for an image slidehow ...

Yeah I basically stripped out the starting ' and replaced it with the double quote, then all subsequent quotes around the size parameters as you can sometimes get off without them being quoted. I tested it from my end and IE seemed fine with it.

Will have another look...

its this script from the dynamic drive. i just replaced the path of the foto's with my own and adjusted the sizes:

Did you try the document write on one continuous line? Strip the line breaks back to one line that’s the only difference I have this end I think!

I tried out the original from the site suggested and both yours and theirs match I then removed all line breaks from your post and it removed the error!

removing the linebreaks solved my problem
