I recently installed the FrogJs javascript slideshow on a client's website. From my experience I have a little tip for people who install this on a dynamic site, such as those using a Content Management System or forum.

If you add the code to the html section of your CMS template as instructed then you will get javascript errors on all pages that do not actually display the slideshow. This is not an issue with sites that are not template driven.

In the Firefox javascript console the error reads...

Quote

Error: $("FrogJS") has no properties

Source File: xxx
Line: 46

If you click the "Error on page" icon at the bottom left of IE (Internet Explorer) the error will look like this...

Quote

Line: 47
Char: 3
Error: 'null' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: xxx

The solution is simple...

Open frog.js

FIND:

if(!document.getElementsByTagName){ return; }

ADD BELOW:

if (!$('FrogJS')){ return; }

This should fix the errors and the slideshow still works great.
