javascript contention

i have 2 javascripts that are competing for display on a html page.
the first is a navigator bar and the second is a slideshow
when i comment out the slideshow the navigator bar appears but when i un-comment out the slideshow it appears but the navigation bar disappears ... is there something that iim missing
thanks in advance
i dont know if this matters but im calling both scripts via include files

reasons for this is, multiple onload tags, same global variables used.
THis is a common problem among scripts, if you show me them, I can help you out to find the problems

im having one heck of a time trying to put the code in here ...
8(
ive tried everything and keep getting the same message about onload and <
ive cut and pasted the code into a word editor and did the find replace but i still cant get past that screen
can i possibly email them 2 you?

Either Email them to me @ Pascarello@javaranch.com
or even easier
use this tool I have built and post them on this site. The form will remove all of the tags that give problems and replace them with the ascii code which displays properly.

Sorry, your post appears to have an illegal HTML tag. Often this is because the post contains a "<" character instead of the equivalent HTML escape sequence "<"
You can fix this by replacing every "<" in your post with "<".
The specific error message is: EVAL

i tried the escaper but still received that msg
ill send the code snippets to your email
thanks again!!

I will look at it when I get home from work tonight
