This will be down to how you have constructed the panes. Each one
needs to be a DIV (HTML layer) with all of its sub-parts positioned as
children.

To do this most easily,

  1. draw an HTML box the size you want each pane to be.
  2. Give it a name that you can remember.
  3. While that named box is selected, draw another box over it (a
    graphic box, maybe, to hold the picture). While you draw this box, you
    will notice that your cursor has changed to a [+] symbol, to indicate
    that you are drawing a child element. You will also see a fat blue
    selection rectangle appear around the parent box. If you don’t see
    either of these things, you need to go back and make sure that you
    have selected the parent before drawing – that its 8 handles are
    showing. Position your child element within the outer HTML box exactly
    the way you would like it to appear. The position of each element is
    driven by the dimensions and position of the HTML box, not the graphic
    box.
  4. Duplicate the outer HTML box and drag it off to the pasteboard
    somewhere.
  5. Apply the Carousel Action to the first pane (not the image, the
    outer HTML box – very important).
  6. Select the duplicate pane and give it a new name. Update the image
    to match the new name.
  7. Apply the Carousel Pane action to it – again, only to the outer
    HTML box.
  8. Duplicate the second pane as many times as necessary, change each
    copy’s name and image.

See if that helps.

grrrr
one more point

the use of # for anchor is best. It points directly to image.
The ? sends it to the page as it scrolls and it is not a nice way to land on the page

just my 1 cent
thx for patience

Depending on whether your carousel is within the first “page” of the
screen height or not, the anchor can work well. But in many cases,
using the anchor rather than the query causes the entire page to shift
down to the top of the carousel container element, scrolling down past
your navigation and so forth. In those cases, using the query provides
a neater appearance.

In a URL, anything following a question mark is known as the
‘QUERY_STRING’ to PHP and Apache, the ‘search’ to JavaScript, the
‘querystring’ to ASP, etc. It’s a distinct part of the page URL. I
refer to it as a query, synonym for question, because of the question
mark in it.
