The code from your first site shows a link to your hard drive...

<script src="file:///Supreme/Users/archee/Websites/Dolls for Africa "scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"  type="text/javascript">

As well as a fair number of other html errors. Run your page through the validator at http://validator.w3.org/nu for a listing.

Re-linking your script to the actual file used online may get you up and running. Make sure that file exists in your local Site Definition and that it's uploaded to the correct location online.

You also have a good number of errors on the second site, including a missing doctype declaration (you are using html5 in a file that browsers won't necessarily understand as html5).

You should normalize your file names, use all lowercase alpha numeric names, no special characters and no spaces (use hyphens or underscores instead). You can change the names from within DW's Files window on a Defined Site and the program will fix the links site-wide for you.

If it's still not working after all of the errors are fixed, post back and we can take a closer look.

I upload all files from my computer through Dreamweaver to my GoDaddy account. I rely on Dreamweaver to write the code, I do not know how to. I will normalize file names. I ran page through validator, but since I do not write code it's overwhelming.

Slideshows to run correctly on the web when viewing from a desktop or iMac.

Meant to say slideshows do run correctly when viewing on the web from iMac.

That makes perfect sense because the link you are using to the javascript file is pointing to a location on your local machine (file:/// is a local link) rather than on online file. So as far as your Mac is concerned, nothing is missing from the site. Some files just happen to be on the local machine while others are online. However, for every other computer on the internet, that file:/// script link is pointing to a location on their personal machine that doesn't exist, so the slideshow breaks.

Actually I have a few Macs that do not have these files on them and I can view the slideshows of these websites perfectly. Sometimes the slideshows do show on the phone and iPad but only about 50% of the time. When they do not show properly  the screen of the slideshow is black or the poster for the slideshow shows but the controls do not function. I have had slide shows on other sites before that worked fine so I don't understand what has happened now. If all the files are uploaded to GoDaddy isn't that where the links are?

Code errors are very likely the reason your pages aren't working correctly.

If you can't repair the errors listed by the validator yourself, it may be best to either start over with a fresh error-free page or hire someone who can repair the html errors that have been introduced in your page.
