The images in the slideshow are strewn out across the screen until the scripting content is allowed.

Here are two pictures showing what's happening when the page loads and then what the page should look like.

Page after loading and content being blocked. Images are spread out.





Page after scripting content is allowed.





Now, I noticed on many other sites that use the same slideshow program, they load correctly in IE without being blocked. Is there some special way of coding the script so this is the case? I can put up my coding shortly, but I won't be able to get to it for a few minutes.

Here is the slideshow application.

It works correctly here without any blockage from IE (at the top).

Any advice on how to deal with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and for reading this far into it.
