More Carousel advise

Hello guys… I think my earlier message did not upload.
here it is again…

When I click the thumb image on my grid it links to the larger image on the carousel scroll - no problem BUT when I click the next arrow, it scrolls backwards to the first image and not the next image.

Thanks for your help with this

The Carousel doesn’t go round and round. I know. If you have four
panes, then it goes right, right, right, right,
leeeeeeeeefffffffftttttt, right… It rewinds, in other words. I
don’t know how to make it wrap around. I don’t know if it’s possible,
given how the effect works under the hood.

Hello guys out there!

I am trying to fix a glitch ugh…
okay here is the link. When I hit one image on the grid it opens to the carousel and some of the image behind it can be seen

On the actual scroll page it does not happen, only when it the link is clicked

Please advise… I am tying…

Hello again

the strange thing about this is that the problem does not occur on the actual scroll carousel page, only in the hyperlink

thanks for the help

Try making all of the images the same size, with a white background,
then scaling the image to fit inside the box. I think what you’re
seeing here is that in the first instance, you are linking to an
individual image by “anchoring” to it. The Carousel doesn’t actually
do anything in this case. Once you click on any of the controls, then
the Carousel properly positions the images.

One thing you might try is to download the very latest version of
Carousel, which has a “scroll to this pane” effect coded into it.
Change the anchor in your URL to a querystring, so it reads

davidscroll.html?Skateweb

instead of

davidscroll.html#Skateweb

…and you will see the page load and then the Carousel will pick up
and scroll to the requested picture.

Ok Walter

I put a ? in the anchor dialog box of large image manually and it worked, but I wonder if I have the latest version of Carouse… and was this the right thing to do?

It worked but it is strange

Thx

I just made double-sure and uploaded my latest development version of
Protaculous to the server. This adds a not-quite-ready-for-prime-time
Observer action to the mix, but it’s nothing you have to worry about
when using Carousel.

Are you manually adding anchors to your images? Because in XHTML, an
anchor link (the thing you click on to get to a particular sub-page
element) can point to the ID of an object or an explicitly named
anchor. You don’t need both, and it’s probably invalid to have both.
You would not, under any circumstances, add a ? to an anchor you were
defining manually, since that would define an anchor target named #?
youranchor.

Could you post a link to the page that you are using to get to this
carousel page? I need to see how you are defining your link into the
page.

Yes I manually put the ? in the ancho dailog box for the larger image

Here is the grid page link

Here is what I have done as set up

On each Carousel images I named each image and anchored it.
On the small images on the grid page I hyperlinked each image to the scroll page and in the dialog below it says anchor and it opens to the anchor, as I named each one. Did I do something wrong?
Please send me link to new action upload as I think I have the old one.

Thx Walter

oh sorry

here is the link you asked me to send
on this page click the boy skateboarding and I put the ? on this image anchor

http://www.carlagrande.com/davidscroll.html#?Skateweb

just to clarify I did NOT name anchors in both the small image and the carousel image… just the carousel image and hyperlinked the small image to the dialog

Okay. You don’t need to define any anchors in your Carousel page. You
can remove those, and the page will still work correctly.

What you do need to do is make the links from your main index page
manually. You won’t see any anchors pop up on your Hyperlink dialog,
you will need to click on the External tab, then enter the page name,
followed by the image name, like this:

davidscroll.html?Skateweb

Now the other thing which will make all this much simpler, plus clear
up the problem you were having earlier with a slice of one image
remaining behind when you viewed another, is to go through your page
and rename all the layers that make up your Carousel.

Currently, you have named the individual images, but not the “pane”
container that holds each one. So you have a whole lot of layers
named item1a1a1a1a1a1a1 and similar variations on that two-note
theme. Inside each of these layers, you have a clearly named image.
If you reverse that – make the layer have the name that you want to
associate with the navigation, not the image – then the Carousel
will work the way it’s designed, and you will have a much easier time
figuring out which pane you want to show, too.

Also, please turn on More Readable in your output options (document
setup). I had to run your page through Tidy in order to be able to
read the code!

Ok I turned more readable on my doc setup output. Should I do that with all my websites and why…
I will follow your instructions

and get back to you later

again thanks

It’s marginally faster for browsers to leave it at more efficient,
but if you are asking anyone to help you with the page, it’s much
friendlier to have it set on more readable. What that setting does is
add extra whitespace – returns and tabs – to the output code.
Browsers and servers don’t care, but this sort of structure makes it
easier to read the code and see what lies within what.

Preview the page into a text editor to see the difference! In More
Efficient, most of the page will be in one long line, and it’s all
but impossible to figure out what’s going on in there, even if you
can read code well.

Walter one thing before I rename the html boxes, can I name them the same as the image inside it?

also please send link to most recent Carousel update. I seem to have old one… or do I?

I did do a search but it is from Jan 18 and I have that one

Thx

It will always be in that folder, the file is called Protaculous.

As to the naming, you can name them the same, but you will have to
change the image name before Freeway will let you name the outer
container the same thing. You can enter yourImageName in the name
field for the HTML box, but the moment you tab or click away, it will
become yourImageName1 or yourImageNamea or something like that,
because no two things on the same page can have the same exact name.

How are you??? Ok I am finally getting to rename external pages and removing all the anchoring , and it all works, but before I go on…

do I hyperlink small image to the html name or the actual larger image name… It works either way but I do not want to go thru all that if I am link to the wrong graphic box.

Thx again

oh and of course one more thing… I installed your carousel action twice by mistake ( I guess the one I had was the current one)
and the dialog box alerts me that the action is duplicated

I went in and unchecked as i could not find how to delete an action
but it keeps checking itself again…make sense??

Link to the name of the pane, which is to say the large DIVs you draw
and stack to form the Carousel.
