Photography / Architecture section issues

Hopefully I'm not the only person having these issues, but any sections of the site with those template photo pages is pretty much refusing to work in Firefox. I get everything down to the text about the gallery, then nothing, followed by the "Made on a Mac" text at the bottom. On IE it seems to work fine, although it needs some refreshing to do it... and I can't get to the individual galleries. The overview displays though.

Usually I can offer suggestions as to what might be wrong, but I have no idea, other than it appears to be a problem with the way Firefox and the gallery (Java-based?) interact. I'm on standard security settings, so don't think it's that...

I think this has been mentioned before, but a solution would be cool!

Edit:

Error: widgetDiv.getElementsByClassName("paginated_only").invoke is not a function
Source File: http://www.rileyuk.org/v3/Scripts/Widge ... ontrols.js
Line: 100

There we go. Note to self: the error console in Firefox is really handy.

Hum. I will look into that one. Is anyone else having the same problems? If it is not fixable then I will have to find another programme to build the website. I would prefer to support Firefox over IE.

Macworld have updated their suite of iLife applications to fix 'general compatibility issues' and 'rebranding of dotmac services to mobile me'. This might fix the problem. I will download the update tonight and fix do the general website maintenance I need to complete.

In fact, I know it fixes the problem as they have a comment further down the page that confirms it. I have to re-upload the whole site but that is not too much of a problem. The forum page will go and be replaced with a second photo gallery to break up the huge variety of photographs on the site. :-D

Right chaps, after a bit of playing around this morning I have managed to tweak my website and it will now hopefully work on Firefox 3. Since I am not sure if it works (and I ran out of time last night) I uploaded the site to the mobile me webpages overnight to see if it worked. This is v4 of the site.

The very clever and observant of you will notice that I have made a small error and not updated the individual Architecture pages and the URL still says v3 in the URL box, these will be fixed in the final upload to the full on server. Yes I know that it is very poor and you should write to the complaints department about the shoddy web building but I am just not a web building professional like mr Al here. Anyone notice the George Lam radio influence there? No? Bugger.

I am hoping that I will be able to upload this version to the proper website either tonight or Saturday (pending comments that is). Let me know what you think, I took the opportunity to change a few things around because I was getting bored of the site image. :-D Remember, this is only about 3 hours work too!

PS. I have actually changed the Architecture pages but it just would NOT upload to the mobile me server which is annoying. I am now off to apple support forum to see what the beef is.

Note for later

The text on the Events Index page is size 12, it should be size 13!
The Architecture index page needs updating to the photo's with the white boarders.
The site needs renaming to V4.

Oh and mr_e discovered something really clever. The Apple iWeb generated websites, specifically the albums, manage to totally crash the iPhone web browser. Well done there lads, what a way to communicate between departments, also wicked heads up to the testing team who failed to make sure the iPhone worked with their own products prior to launch.

On the plus side I now know that holding down the 'Home' button and the 'Power button' force resets the phone. Well force restarts anyway!
