I have created an image slider with two images, which works perfectly!!
Created the ini file and loaded it into the directory with the images. I know the ini file is being read as I can change the description of each slide and it changes accordingly, however the links I've setup don't work. What have I missed?
The site is
www.neemhall.howlingmouse.com.au
This is my ini file.
[DESCRIPTION]
Slide_1.jpg="This will link to the Shop"
Slide_2.jpg="This will link to the Contact Form when it is created, just defaulting to home page at the moment."

Slide_1.jpg="

Slide_2.jpg="
www.neemhall.howlingmouse.com.au" 
Well it looks as though the issue is with IE and not this extension!! Imagine that ... IE being a pain
