Never could have imagined that chrome would have been the browser giving me grief, but the slideshow for our new website does not function properly in some versions of Chrome.
The error occurs here:
"mainPicture.src = \''.$directory.$current_pic.'\'; setMarkerPos('.$i.')"
Claiming that I can’t modify mainPicture, an id that doesn’t exist.
Obviously, other browsers don’t have a problem seeing this object.
All help is much appreciated!

Chrome doesn’t make image elements available by just their “id” value; you have to use
document.getElementById("mainPicture")to get a reference to the DOM element. That’ll work in all browsers anyway, so it’s safe to just code it that way.
