It appears that the iWeb slideshow does need to be modified if you created it with the latest version (3.0.4) of iWeb.
See this page for more info...

... and this one for Old Toad's tutorial which will guide you through the process...

See this page for more about iWeb and Mountain Lion...
Or revert back to iWeb 3.0.3. However, I don't know what features 3.0.4 has over 3.0.3. All it says is that it fixes a number of minor issues. That's a lot of help.
The stylesheet is in the Media folder.
If you want to modify it in iWeb its in Resources.
Change three URLs.
Just a note on this modification: if the url includes the domain name then the slideshow control icons will display on those sites published to a locat folder (assuming you're connected to the internet).
The plain /slideshow/ modification will not display in sites published to a folder on your hard drive.
Both work fine when published to the server.
Nothing named Media folder in my Resources file...also if I never find the sylesheet ...should I just drop www.me.com part and not replace it with anything?
Also, a BIG thanks to everyone here for the help with the slideshow controls...they're working now!
The Media folder in your published files - not the iWeb package!
The one in the iWeb package is in the Resources folder so change it just the same way as you did the JS file to make things permanent.
All this does is to show the controls background image which is missing in OT's version...

Who needs it?
Roddy...sorry to be a dope, but where are my published files? And after I find and change them (SAVE), do I have to do anything else?
Didn't understand this:
"The Media folder in your published files - not the iWeb package!
The one in the iWeb package is in the Resources folder so change it just the same way as you did the JS file to make things permanent."
Control click the iWeb.app and choose to show the package contents
Open the Resources folder and find the iWPopUpSlideshow.css
Open this in editor and look for the three URLs to images - one to the controls image and two to the spacer.
Change these and save. You may need to give yourself permission to do this by opening the CSS file in the Info window.
Roddy, one last question. Unlike the JS file, when I deleted the www.me.com stuff in CSS file, the links were no longer hot...see below...is that OK?
#controls {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
z-index: 250;
width: 176px;
height: 77px;
background: url(/slideshow/images/controls.png) center center no-repeat;
opacity: .80;
}
#controlZone {
position: absolute;
z-index: 250;
width: 100%;
height: 177px;
text-align:left;
left: 0px;
background: url(/i/ma/1/spacer.gif) repeat;
#thumbnailZone {
position: absolute;
top:0px;
left: 0px;
z-index: 250;
background: url(/i/ma/1/spacer.gif) repeat;
To be on the safe side just enter the absolute URLs like this...
Did it as you instructed. The only things that look like they're hot are blue 1s.
Also, I'm not sure what these things are, but when I try to go there, I just get blank pages.

The URLs are...
http://www.markdotzler.com/slideshow/images/controls.png
http://www.markdotzler.com/slideshow/images/spacer.gif
You don't have the "spacer.gif" in your "images" folder on your server but, don't worry, its not really necessary.
I just want to thank Roddy and everyone else here for all the help you given me in correcting these problems.
You guys are great...thanks.
It worked like a dream for me. Of course I hope you totally uploaded your entire site after updating iWeb then cleared Safari's cache and reload newly uploaded page. Note also there are several places that need the URL fix.
I placed the files on one of my web sites that I can use to point any other web site to.
Thanks to Toad for this very simple and effortless fix that only ever needs to be done once and works on all sites from now on (or as I said, are re uploaded).
Anyone with problems is doing something wrong or can't follow instructions.
