Nivo Slider not working in Firefox

[BHen]

I've added the Nivo Slider to a site for my company. It seems to be working fine in every browser except that in Firefox it doesn't even show up. Here's a link to my page.

Here is the js code in my html header:

<link href="css/projects.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script src="scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" type="text/jscript"></script>
<script src="scripts/jquery.nivo.slider.js" type="text/jscript"></script>
<script src="scripts/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

$(window).load(function() {
$('#slider').nivoSlider({
effect: 'fade', // Specify sets like: 'fold,fade,sliceDown' RANDOM can also be set
slices: 15, // For slice animations
boxCols: 8, // For box animations
boxRows: 4, // For box animations
animSpeed: 500, // Slide transition speed
pauseTime: 6400, // How long each slide will show
startSlide: 0, // Set starting Slide (0 index)
directionNav: true, // Next & Prev navigation
directionNavHide: true, // Only show on hover Change to FALSE if you want them to always show
controlNav: true, // 1,2,3... navigation
controlNavThumbs: false, // Use thumbnails for Control Nav
controlNavThumbsFromRel: false, // Use image rel for thumbs
controlNavThumbsSearch: '.jpg', // Replace this with...
controlNavThumbsReplace: '_thumb.jpg', // ...this in thumb Image src
keyboardNav: true, // Use left & right arrows
pauseOnHover: true, // Stop animation while hovering
manualAdvance: false, // Force manual transitions
captionOpacity: 0.6, // Universal caption opacity
prevText: 'Prev', // Prev directionNav text
nextText: 'Next', // Next directionNav text
randomStart: false, // Start on a random slide
beforeChange: function(){}, // Triggers before a slide transition
afterChange: function(){}, // Triggers after a slide transition
slideshowEnd: function(){}, // Triggers after all slides have been shown
lastSlide: function(){}, // Triggers when last slide is shown
afterLoad: function(){} // Triggers when slider has loaded
});
});
</script>

Any cure for this headache would MUCH appreciated!

Thanks,
BHen

I hate Nivo slider. It's SO HARD to get it working right...

[BHen]

I know, that's why I had to ask about Firefox. =P

OK, first off, you don't have to bother including both jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js AND jquery.nivo.slider.js do one OR the other... I don't think it matters which.
Also, make all your javascripts type="text/javascript" NOT text/jscript
Does that fix it?
Funny thing is, just 5 minutes ago I finished the frustrating job of getting Nivo Slider to work in one of my other sites lol!
I was having problems with the fade transition, try a different one!

Shovenose, sorry, just seeing this. I'll give it a go and let you know. Much appreciated!

OK, I changed the "text/jscript" to "text/javascript", and it created kind of a one step forward, one step back scenario. The Nivo slider is showing in Friefox, BUT what happens is after the first slide transition the left/right hover arrows and the caption at the bottom containing a link disappear. See site.

This is now happening in every browser. Thoughts?

Check that! I got it! There was one thing I needed to fix in the CSS.

I had:

.nivo-slice {
display:block;
position:absolute; z-index: 200; top:0;
height:100%;}

Then I revised:

.nivo-slice {
display:block;
position:absolute; top:0;
z-index:5;
height:100%;}

Now working in all browsers - Thank you!
