I am trying to get a simple carousel 2 working. It’d like the four headings to be able to select the appropriate set of links. I have added the Carousel 2 Tab to the links, added the Carousel 2 action the main html box and the Carousel 2 pane action the the other (positioned above the page in on the pasteboard). For the life of me I can’t see what’s going wrong. I’m sure it’s something simple I’m using the version 2 action with Freeway 6.
Maybe my use of the word ‘working’ was a little optimistic The carousel works but none of the links within them are working. It looks like the carousel is rendering the html as a graphic? I can’t select any of the text. I have this set up on another site made with FP5.5 and the text is selectable and the links are working.
The issue is layering. The Carousel elements are behind a box with the id of pagecontainer. Any clicks are being absorbed by this element, and not allowed through to the links below them. Select your primary carousel element (the one you applied Carousel 2 to) and choose Item / Bring to Front from the main menu. Then publish again and see if the links work.

I was just about to post about this. My usual structure is to have an html container that has a ‘header’ html box with content and also a ‘footer’ html with content and everything else I place in a ‘body’ html holder.
This structure doesn’t work on this page. I can change the layer so that the footer is in the correct place but the rollovers don’t work as I assume the text in now behind the photo in the footer html box. What I don’t understand is when I move the placing of the footer the rollover works but the relative position of the rollovers to the html footer box is still the same? I’ve move the footer in all positions within the page structure and I can’t get it at the bottom with the rollovers working??
Then you should be able to apply Remove from RPL to the main Carousel container and re-enable RPL on the page. Please try that and let me know if it works. If it does, I should be able to add the Remove from RPL code to my Action so you won’t need to do this in the future.

Hiya,
It was the RPL action! Removing the action from the page corrects things.
To get it working I have used the remove RPL action on the footer. I had already applied the action the carousel panes (but not the main carousel). If I apply it to the main carousel and not the panes, the carousel doesn’t work.
