slideshow fails, Firefox debugger also fails

[lkrubner@geocities.com]

I'm trying to get a slideshow going on this page:

http://www.popefamilytravels.com/index.php?pageId=5

For some reason the debugger in Firefox won't show any errors, but
there are clearly some errors here. The function doesn't work, even
once. It was firing once and then quiting till a few moments ago, then
I did something, I don't know what, and it stopped working all
together. Here is the code (the lines that start with 'function
SymError()' are I think something that Firefox writes automatically. I
did not write that function):



<div id="imageSlideS how0" class="imageInf oListsImage"
style="display: none; height:0px; visibility:hidd en;"><img
class="imageInf oImage"

After a quick look at that code I guess that you want
setInterval("sh owImageSlideSho w()", 5000);
to repeatedly call the showImagesSlide Show function.

What you most likely did is install something like Norton Internet
Security (or some other Symantec Internet software). The following code
points to something injected by a Symantec software product attempting
to block popups (the "Sym" in all the variable and function names stands
for "Symantec":

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;
