I’ve a problem with the Target Show/Hide layer and the sequence layer actions. I’m doing a fade style slideshow and it works fine in Safari but not in Firefox. Javascript is on.
Now here’s the biggest issue. A similar slideshow with exactly the same options on a different page works fine.
Since you’re using Firefox, please do install Firebug http://getfirebug.com
and see what (if any) errors are produced on the broken page. Or
post a link to each page here, and we can look. Some browsers are more
“strict” than others, and an error in one might be silently corrected
by another. The ideal of course is to work everywhere, but the devil
is in the details.

The other thing to look for is if there are any other actions on the non working page that might be causing a conflict. Especially ones that use other javascript libraries - like Moo.
As Walter suggests - post a link to the online version of the non working page.
The Target Show/Hide stuff all has support for frames, so you might want to fiddle with those settings. Permission denied sounds like you might be violating the Same Origin Policy in JavaScript. Is your site in a frameset, like maybe your ISP does “domain cloaking” or similar?
Thanks for all of this. However, I’m still no further on to this, and I’m afraid I’m not clever enough to know how to fiddle with frame settings. As far as I’m aware I’m not using frames, but then again I’m not using much if my brain either. Look at another page on the site.
Your site is not in a frameset, but your code is asking about frames in nearly every call in the Sequence Timer. Try changing the Find Targets picker in the Actions Palette from ‘top’ to ‘self’ and see if that clears it up for you.
I seem to have found the problem. I had a feedzilla news thing in some HTML markup. By taking this out, the slideshow works. Seems to be some conflict.
The client wants a news section though. Any other options?
The ReadFeed Action can read an RSS feed from another site and format it into HTML. That’s done in pure PHP, no JavaScript involved, so it can’t conflict.
Feedzilla is not the same thing as ReadFeed. I believe Feedzilla is done in JavaScript, which would have a strong chance of conflicting with Target Show/Hide.
