thanks for the safari info! my guess is that it may be the importing of js that may be crashing it. I will see if i can find someone to test some stuff on that browser.
The image gallery itself should not crash it though if that is the case since i am not importing js

FF seems to run ok for me and a few others that i have asked to test it. Ill check my markup though on those last couple of pages just in case there is a html markup error thats causing some intermittent FF problems.
Once again thanks...
