I put together a FW example for someone of this MooTools based  
slideshow [http://www.phatfusion.net/slideshow/](http://www.phatfusion.net/slideshow/). It works great  
locally but on the server the script doesn’t fire, meaning the large  
images don’t appear and/or cycle and the thumbs don’t highlight,  
[http://www.anoptic.com/demo/phatfusion/index.html](http://www.anoptic.com/demo/phatfusion/index.html).

Ideas?

Todd

It’s because it can’t find the backgroundslider.js.

It’s looking for it in:

[http://www.anoptic.com/demo/phatfusion/utils/backgroundslider.js](http://www.anoptic.com/demo/phatfusion/utils/backgroundslider.js)

and cannot find it. That’s probably why it won’t work.

backgroundslider.js is in utils, though. Is there something about a  
utils directory that throws off a server even though it works locally?

It was a syntax error, not a path.

Thanks,
