Hi. I want to create a carousel that has three panes, each pane having eight links to eight different pages. Each of the twenty-four pages will display the carousel and some distinct graphic content. (Think gallery navigation.) That part is no problem. Here’s the problem:
Say I’m on a page and Pane 1 is visible, and I then scroll to Pane 2. If I click on a link to a page from Pane 2, is there a way to have Pane 2 be visible or “selected” when the new page loads? I could redefine the carousel for each set of eight pages, but then the order in which the panes are presented changes, with the current pane always being left-most. Confusing navigation.
I could create three pages and use an iframe on each page, but the sliding action of the carousel is so much slicker, I’d prefer to use that action if I can. How about an iframe with a long page and a “scroll to anchor” action? Is there such a thing?
Sure. Just note the pane name on the page you want to have load: click
once on it and look in the Inspector at the Title field, that’s where
the ID of the pane will be. This name is case-sensitive, by the way.
Then, when making your link, use the External side of the Hyperlink
dialog. Enter the URL like this:
pagename.html?paneName
That will get you a link that behaves this way: Target page loads,
then carousel animates to show the chosen pane.
