Hi Antun,

I've got a working miniSlideshow running at:

http://www.mylaszlo.com/lps/lyndonwong/miniSlideshow/miniSlideshow.lzx

It is coded to accept the passing of the URL path to an external XML file:

http://www.mylaszlo.com/lps/viewer/viewer.jsp?file=/lyndonwong/miniSlideshow/miniSlideshow.lzx

But I can't seem to get the slideshow to use an XML image list hosted elsewhere on the open Web:
http://www.mylaszlo.com/lps/lyndonwong/miniSlideshow/miniSlideshow.lzx?slideshow_url='http://lyndonwong.tripod.com/lz_slideshow/tripod_slideshow.xml'

Here's the external XML file I'm trying to point to:

http://lyndonwong.tripod.com/lz_slideshow/tripod_slideshow.xml

Can you tell what I'm doing wrong?

thx,

Lyndon

Actually, this problem appears isolated to IE 5 for Mac OS X.

The following example invocation using remote assets works fine with Safari for OS X, and with IE for Windows OS.
