Any idea why I can't get this slideshow block to display properly in Chrome and on the Ipad (I assume because it's Safari)?
I'm good in IE and FF, but the slideshow block seems to collapse in the other two browsers. I can still see some of the overlay, which is an attached view display.
If I put this block in another region (other than header panel in the Adapative/Corolla theme) then it displays fine.
What could be odd about that header panel region that would cost the block not to display properly?

Dan, your slideshow appears
Dan, your slideshow appears to be responsive. Views Slideshow uses the jQuery Cycle plugin, which needs a few lines of extra CSS applied to the View if it is going to be responsive.

HI Sam, thanks for looking. I don't think I'm worried too much here for the moment about it being responsive. I could work on that later, hide it on media query, or move it on media query. At this point the darn think won't even display in Safari/Chrome when I put it in that header panel region (but it will display when I put it in some other region--responsiveness aside). Any other thoughts?

I see that if I force the width and height using "advanced options" in the Views, I can get it to display. This squares with my sense that the code was there but that it was collapsed on itself into 0 width and 0 height or something. But this still seems kind of hackey and it seems it shouldn't be necessary. But it did open the view up in Safari and Chrome. Hmmmmmm. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Yeah, it's hacky because
Yeah, it's hacky because jQuery Cycle really isn't responsive. You have to do funny things to it.
Cycle 2
It's worth noting that Cycle 2 is responsive out of the box:

Views Slideshow doesn't support this version, so to use it, your choices are either to write a little jQuery code in your theme to invoke Cycle 2 on a plain view, or to experiment with the sandbox project that updates Views Slideshow for Cycle 2:
