Shedding Slider tears

6 months now trying to get a slider working. yes, 6 months for me.

Maybe it's because i can't code, maybe it's because software doesn't play nice together all the time, maybe it's because updates here break stability there, maybe all of the above - and more.

What a disaster on these two pages (straight WP export). Why?

Here's how it used to look: Perfect!
http://www.cannonbeachcomputers.com/testing/services-3/

Perfection above was accomplished with WP Templateer export.
Then templateer started "not-working" w/Artisteer as in - duplicating content.

How to get a Slider (with options working?

Presently my options seem to be:
1) Use the Artisteer Slider and reexport the whole site with a new WP database - because I can't export just one edited page.
2) wait for a response from thetemplateer or wowslider hoping they will be kind enough to shed light on the jumpiness and jerkiness and Browser display differences of the first two links above
3) try to figger out how to wrap my Slider in a clean div (if that is how thetemplateer did it?)
4) Ask Artiseer Support and cross my fingers they don't pull the "third-party software" trump card!
5) Wait for thetemplateer fix update.
6) Other?

What would anyone else do? Cry?

Thanks.

's all ok now. Thanks for listening!

Great looking Sliders in IE9, IE10, FF and Chrome - despite software upgrades from numerous parties.

Why thank you!

I looked at your code. It was fine. I'm more concerned about the product. I don't have any choppiness with any of the transitions. But if I begin to load my pages, will I have some slowdown issues? :-@

Well after changing the Wow slider to "fade" in the two linked pages above i don't see choppy. Do you?

I hate to admit this :) but i think the original choppiness was caused by sloppy coding. As in: 


<div class="art-content-layout">

     <div class="art-content-layout-row">

       <div class="art-layout-cell layout-item-1" style="width: 100%" >

         <h1>IT Network Support Services<h1>

                   [wowslider id="2"] 

       </div><!-- end art-layout-cell layout-item-1 div -->

     </div><!-- end art-content-layout-row div -->

 </div><!-- end art-content-layout div -->


When you don't close the <h1> properly - like above - stuff happens!! That took me most of the day to find!
