Carousel Button #

When I use the carousel button it has the a href as # which causes IE to treat it as an anchor to the top of the page.

How can this be overcome?

Can you post a link to a page that shows this problem? The click event on the button should be trapped, and if it’s not happening for some reason, then I’d need to see the generated code to have a guess as to why.

The only thing I can imagine is happening here is that you are scrolling down to the button and pressing it before the page is entirely loaded. The handler is there – Event.stop(evt) should keep the default behavior from happening in any browser.

Hi Nathan,
Looking at the source code for that page it looks like it is loading two different sets of libraries (one from Google and another one locally). Also this page (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.javascript.prototype-scriptaculous/3540) suggests that there may have been an issue with Prototype prior to version 1.7 with it stopping events.

It could be that the second library that the page is loading (prototype1610packer.js) contains this bug. I would suggest eliminating the second set of libraries (even from a hand altered test page) and seeing if the issue goes away.
Regards,
Tim.

OK Thanks, I left the page a for a good thirty seconds and it works fine on 1 PC here (IE8), but not another (IE9) and the client is seeing the issue too (also using IE9). So it could be an IE 9 issue.

I missed that entirely. Nathan, make sure that ALL of your Scripty Actions are up-to-date. Check with ActionsForge, and download any newer versions. You may have to go through the version dance – remove all instances of the Actions on every page in the site, publish once, re-apply the Actions – but you may also just get lucky. Try making the switch using Finder to locate your Actions folder and manually dragging the replacement Action into place. If you don’t get a Finder error saying you are about to replace a file, you’ve got something going wrong – renamed file on either the new or old file end. Make sure that there aren’t any “filename (1).fwaction” files in your Actions folder.

Have updated the Carousel to 1.3.6 - there are no other scripty actions on the page but it still reacts the same.

Are there any other Scripty Actions in the entire site? How about Freeway FX Actions, or Target Show/Hide Layer with the Effect picker set to something other than None? Spawn New Window is another often overlooked “scripty” Action. All of them have to be up to date, because there’s no way to ensure that only one set of Scriptaculous or Prototype libraries are added to the page.

There are in the site… I have around 140 pages with scripty in various areas of most of those pages. I’m just not going to be able to remove every instance and reapply. Not without a serious amount of work. If I have to, then I may look at another option.

Copy this trouble-page to a new document (highlight the page title in the list of pages in the Site pane, copy, new document, paste). See if you can duplicate the problem when it’s the only page in the site. (Be sure to set a new site folder, so you have a completely clean document to test from.)

This looks like a perfectly clean page, with the exception that both of your buttons are set to Previous. Do you have the debugger enabled in IE? Are you using IE9 in IE8 “mode”, or do you have a real copy of IE8 there?

I have IE8 here and its fine in that - no issues.

I have IE Tester which shows IE9 and it doesn’t work.

I am looking with IE9 but as your carousel is at the top of the page I cannot tell if there is a problem or not.

The carousel itself works fine.
