ok, I have started fresh with a blank template and gotten rid of all the extra code.

I have:
1)Inserted the slideshow into a table. I did this by cut and paste in the visual editor. Not sure how to code it.

2)Changed positioning to "relative." This just made the slideshow disappear alltogether.

3)Removed the positioning from the embed tag

The slideshow will still not show up in the table in Firefox

Please check out the link here

and tell me what to try next

Thanks for all the help. This newby is determined to figure it out!

You always want to make sure you page validates if things don't look right. Here's a validating version of your page's code. Some of the corrected code is part of the template, so you can use this as a guide in correcting the template code itself.

I replaced the slideshow object code with validating code and removed all styling from it.

Yep, you have to watch out for mismatched opening and closing tags. In this case one of your divs was closed early and another was left open.

JWP,

You might want to post a link to the page with the slide show and let some of the forum members look at the code. It is possible that someone will be able to offer a solution.
