I'm using Joomla to display a slideshow on the side of one of the modules, using the following code:
Code
<script type="text/javascript" src="../gallery/swfobject_source.js"></script>
	<div id="screenshots">ABC Gallery Screenshots</div>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		var so = new SWFObject("../gallery/slideshow.swf", "mymenu", "185", "200", "9");  
		so.addVariable('globalpath','../gallery/');
		so.addVariable('path','content/People/Smiles/'); 
		so.addVariable('configfile','randomsmiles.ini');
		so.addVariable('autoscale','true');
		so.addVariable('minmargin','0');
		so.addVariable('interval','9');
		so.addVariable('startimage','false');
		so.addVariable('backimage','false');
		so.addVariable('framecol','FFFFFF');
		so.addVariable('transition', 'motionmove,motionmask,blockmask,tint,white,fade; motionmove,motionmask,blockmask,tint,white,fade,shine,instant');
		so.addVariable('sfx', 'false');
		so.addVariable('audio', 'false');
		so.addVariable('imagepopinfo', 'false');
		so.addVariable('showpreloader', 'false');
		so.addVariable('showaltpreloader', 'false');
		so.addVariable('showtimer', 'false');
		so.addVariable('imagesorting', 'rnd');
		so.addVariable('boxstage','180,200');
		so.addVariable('maincontrols', 'previous,toggleplay,next');
		so.addVariable('altcontrols', 'false');
		so.addVariable('displayimageindex', 'false');
		so.addVariable('displayname', 'false');
		so.addVariable('displaydescription', 'false');
		so.addVariable('frameshadow', 'true');
		so.addVariable('showmaincontrols', 'true');
		so.addVariable('framewidth','3');
		so.addVariable('innerframewidth','9');
		so.addVariable('maincontrolsmargin','5');
		so.write("screenshots"); 
	</script>

This works fine in Safari, FF and IE7. However, in IE6, it causes the browser to crash and does not allow the page to load. Can you think of any reason why would this happen or what can I do to prevent this?

Thanks.

I'm not sure ... Perhaps you could send a link so I could try it myself?

Does it work with the default slideshow.php? Perhaps you should try to reinstall the browser? It certainly looks like it related to javascript somehow ...
