Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I realise its not a great place to put the file but I just wanted to get it working first, then I can move the file. I added the line you suggested.
Slider = {}; // used by dynapi.library
It doesn’t seem to make any difference. I added an alert at the top of the page, but no alert gets called , could suggest that the file isnt even getting added. I can give you a link to the code can I send to you personally I don’t really want to share with the world.
