Are you sure it's Java, and not JavaScript? They are not at all the same thing.

 

Also, if you ask nicely I might add Previous/Next buttons to my QuickSlide image viewer thing.

:-$ Could be, could be. I'm not up to speed with all the differences!

 

I like the quickslide thing you've done - that'd be ace for my photo/drawing gallery pages. Some buttons would be an appreciated addition!

 

Payment could come in the form of chocolate or flattery, which ever you prefer. :)

Just knowing someone is using it would be payment enough.

Sorry, Pete. Hijacked your thread there before you'd had a chance to elucidate. :-O

 

What troubles are you having?

I knew who started this thread before I even opened it!

I like Chrome. And I'd have a hard time seeing the internet without it!

I think Peter is getting frustrated that all browsers do some things just slightly differently, enough so to mean web devs need to waste hours on fixing what should be trivial issues. IE (at least versions < 9) is particularly bad at not doing what it's supposed to, or doing it really slowly.

I haven't even tested IE9 because I can't be fucked with the setup hassle.

I tried the IE10 preview and it's got a shit installer that doesn't work.

IE8 is functional, though I had to duplicate a chunk of jQuery and change it slightly to make it work (and make my code more brittle), and I still couldn't figure out why borders aren't showing, so it looks crap.

I get unnecessary scrollbars in IE and Chrome, but not in the others.

etc.

I got things good enough, but I'm pissed off stuff so simple doesn't behave consistently nor as expected.

I've just uploaded the new QuickSlide files to replace my old ones and I've broken it.

 

Before I start digging any ideas?

And by not working it's just opening the image in a new tab (Chrome) rather than in the QuickSlide box.

Hrmm, possiby. I changed the options thing around a bit. What options are you using now? Could you provide a demo page?

Edit: to clarify, it should work fine even if you don't specify any options at all, so long as you have rel="quickslide" in your links' attributes.

Peter if you ever need someone to test pages for you let me know. I have Chrome, IE8, IE9 and for you I'd even install FF.

Ok, fixed it now. Because you're putting the script tags in the document head, it's failing when it tries to add the dimmer and box to the document body, because that doesn't exist yet. I've changed it so it waits for the window onload event before adding the elements (unless you specify the no_wait option). New version uploaded to my site.

Also, you should put script tags at the end of the document, just before the closing body tag, as they block page rendering until the files they reference have been loaded and parsed. This isn't so bad if you're just loading files from your own server, but if you ever need to load external ones (e.g. jQuery from the Google CDN) it could make your page appear to load slower than necessary.

Ahh, ok, my fault then. It had been there all along though, not sure what made me put it there though.

Fixed by moving the <script> tags, but I'll download the new version anyway.

You can test it when it goes live - I'll need to see how people who can't read react to it. :P
