It should appear in the middle of the page, plus scrolling.

I wonder if the issue is related to the size of the images. I suspect it might not be using the defined max sizes when positioning the images. Lemme take a look.

If you've not seen the problem I've replicated it on the test file I linked to above.

Ok I think I found the problem. Have uploaded a (hopefully) fixed version now.

Still there on my test page after updating quickslide.js

Hm, try adding this to your CSS:

body { overflow-y: scroll; }

Nope :(

 

I've updated the test and you'll see if you click the bottom one it extends the page below the normal length of the page.

Ok, I've uploaded a test version that will output some information to the JavaScript console. In Chrome you can see this by pressing Ctrl+Shift+j (I think). Just click an image and tell me what it reports. It will list image height, scroll pos and window height. Do any of the numbers look wrong?

Huhm. I just downloaded a copy of your page and the image you're using, and with that test version it works fine :S (in Chrome 11 and FF4)

I've added a new thing: a 'dimmer' option, to darken the rest of the page when you open a popup. If you use it you'll need to add some CSS to make it actually visible, something like this:

#quickslide-dimmer {
	background-color: #333;
	opacity: 0.8;
	filter: alpha(opacity = 80);
	box-shadow: 0 0 9em #000 inset;
}

Nice, I might use it, but not too sure if I will. It's definitely a feature that it didn't have compared to Lightbox so good stuff!

To be honest I only added it because it was so easy to do :$

One day soon I will actually get around to adding useful features like next/prev navigation :$

Why are you wasting time re-inventing a heavily cloned wheel, instead of working on something useful (like the fizzy document thing)? :/

Because I wanted to :p I was curious about some things, and this satisfied my curiosity.

I will carry on with Soda at some point, too.

Grrr! Why can't you be curious about things which are more useful! :(

 

Also... whoever created this thread... I keep looking at the status bar and thinking there are two damned unread messages! :'C

Better?

I am still learning, Peter :(

(no but really, I've only been doing web-based programming since around October last year)

Thank you! :D

Huh?

WTF sort of stuff were you doing before that then?


Whilst I'm generally not opposed to people re-inventing wheels for learning purposes, I'd probably still say it's better to learn from and extend an existing solution.

If more people (both new and experienced) spend more time on improving current stuff, there'd be more half-decent software around, instead of not only everything being crap, but it being even harder to find the slightly less crap stuff amongst all the unfinished experiments. :(


/me stops ranting and goes to find food.

Working in Blockbuster then Jessops, then doing data-entry, then fixing HMRC computers, then attempting to work out what I was supposed to be doing in an understaffed and underexplained repair team fixing Tesco hardware (and by 'hardware' I mean everything from receipt printers to IBM RS/6000s to those 'pay at pump' things they have in petrol stations).

No I meant programming-wise - I thought you'd written lots of stuff?

But since you brought it up... are you the reason the fecking petrol pump never has any bloody receipts available!? :@
