Hi
I was asked to create a website and I’ve used the carousel action, to my satisfaction at least.
BUT it doesn’t work in IE. Grrrrrrr! It’s fine on Safari
Any ideas for a fix guys?

You’re getting a conflict with the fading slideshow JavaScript. There’s an error in Firefox, too. It doesn’t stop the carousel there, but it might be what’s causing the problems in IE. Try it without that other script, and see if it works. I have tested Carousels with IE 6/XP, and they work fine. But I haven’t tested them with every other type of thing you could put on the page. (Naturally!)

The thing that struck me was that if you follow the logical order of using the links left to right the carousel does not progress 1 frame at a time but instead Home=1, Kids=3, Adults=2, First Dance=5 and Dreamgirls=4 - giving the disconcerting effect of jumping back and forward.
Which version of IE are you having problems with?

Hi David,
One BIG issue to consider putting a whole site on one page like this is, you’re asking the web user to download the whole site in one hit whether or not they want it.
Looking in the Safari “Show network timeline”, the page is taking some 8+ minutes to fully download!
I stopped it when the size page got to 39.87 Megabytes and it was still going downloading…!

Thanks for the comments - I think we are going to revert to single pages.
David - when you say 8+ minutes was this with a dial up connection? and where do you find Safari’s “Show network timeline”
Thanks

You would not have a any hope in viewing a 39.78 meg page and counting on a dial-up.
If you go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced - tick “Show Developer menu”
Then download the page, and from the Safari Menu > Develop > Show Network Timeline.
You can see all the files used, files sizes, and time to download each file with the total page size.

Thanks for that, that’s a useful thing to know about.
This shows me that each time an image is rotated in the slideshow, it’s downloaded. Is that how the slideshow action works or have I left a tick box unticked somewhere?
I admit that I’ve let the images sizes get WAY to big on the site in question and I’ll reduce their sizes.
But for this reason (para 2 above) is slideshow action a bad thing?

As far as I know, using the Freeway scriptaculous actions to create a slideshow does not create a new download on each image shown (not on the ones I’ve tested anyway).
But yours does look like it could be doing this hence the large downloads.

Aww - something must be wrong - I’ll have a check but if any one else has an idea on why this is happening and how to correct it - that it’d be great
