We are using Walt’s Carousel action to setup a set of 7 different slides set to have 0 auto-glide or transition effect. Each with tabs on the side to switch to the next slide. When you select a slave panel from the master carousel and zoom in the carousel panel start to shift to the next slide, partially showing both slides. Help?
Issue occurs on Safari, EI and Crome (Firefox fixes it)
Out of town yesterday. I will post something later today so you can see. I will include another example of a way we have used the carousel. Walt’s action is pretty cool, we utilize if for more of what we call “In Page Navigation”.
Thank you for your response, below is a link through to the page. Click on the “Deacon” tab under “Leadership” and zoom in. The “Deacon” tab shifts to the right, partially revealing the “Elder” tab. In regards to TeamSDA_Dave’s response, he posted thinking it was a different topic.
Thank you for the input, target show/hide is something we use for many other applications. For what we are accomplishing here, we choice a Carousel. If Walt has any input as to how we could fix this break that would be great.
I’m not sure it’s a Carousel problem per se. Have you set your browser
to Zoom Text Only, or are you seeing this with the stock (Zoom
Everything) option? All of the elements of the Carousel are given
fixed pixel dimensions, so anything that is doing zoom math on those
dimensions should just work. Do you have the RPL Action applied to the
page? That could be a contributing factor.

I used the zoom everything option. We do have RPL action applied. All of our Carousal Panes have the remove from RPL applied. I’ve tested removing the Master Carousal from RPL with no luck. Also tested taking RPL off the page but it still breaks.
Does this problem recur if RPL is off altogether – not just removed from elements of the page? RPL does a lot of fairly gut-wrenching things to the page, and I’m not sure that my Action can recover from those gracefully, because my Action does a lot of measurements based on the top-left corner of the page, traversing through all of the other elements that nest around the Carousel itself.
Below is a link to a newly made carousel. If you click on the last “Elder” tab under “Leadership” and zoom in everything you will see the pane slide to the right revealing the previous pane. (RPL never being applied)
I’m not seeing that here. If you’re not zoomed in, you go to the end element, and then zoom then yes I do see that. But I don’t think that’s really going to be a usual action. If you come to the page and you can’t read it, you will have zoomed in before you try zipping around the page.
If you have already zoomed the page and then click the last navigation option, then the page moves to the correct spot and nothing extra is shown.
This appears to be a bit of browser math vs. JavaScript math, and there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do about it.
I’m on Safari 5.0.3. I’ve tested it on a couple other browsers. Firefox and Opera don’t break. Safari, EI and Google Crome break…at least on the machine here in our office. You’re zooming in everything, correct?
Number 2 is what I was referring to. Form your post above it sound like there is a solution. Thank you for your help. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t something we were setting up wrong.
I was doing some testing on a site in IE7 and found break in the carousel. In the previous posts the carousel broke during the zooming in process and could be fixes by refreshing the page. On IE7 when already zoomed in the carousel text gets pushed around and it appears that refreshing doesn’t fix the break.
I don’t think I can fix that, you’re way out in the weeds beyond what this Action was designed to do. The HTML that it writes is valid and structurally logical. If you load that HTML into a standards-compliant browser, it will work, and will probably work at any zoom level. But IE, particularly IE < 9, is not standards-compliant by any stretch of the imagination, and cannot reliably be coerced into pretending to be, either.
