The only thing I noticed when plying through the site was in the gallery, when you clicked on one of the images it would reset the slider back to the top of the list, not so noticable when you're at the top but quite annoying once you get further down the list.
Yes, everyone's commenting on that, and it's killing me. See, my client wants a scrollbox like that, and the script I have is designed to just show say, six thumbnails at a time, either that or all of them together a lot smaller- either way, the scrollbox is a hack of mine, and not something script reccomended. I'm not sure if there's any way to fix it, sadly. I have messaged the guy who wrote the script tutorial, and we'll see what he has to say.
Hmmm... have you thought about maybe doing an iframe for the pictures? That way you could change those without reloading the rest of the page? I don't know how flexible your script is but if it supported iframes it might work. Unless the reset of teh slider is part of the script when you click on the item.
If that's the case maybe you could just use an iframe for the scrolly box, unless you're already doing that, i didn't look at the code... anyway, just rattling off ideas, anywho, I'm late for church. C ya round! G'journey and God Bless
The pictures are pulled into a div by a PHP script- I'm writing this so that the guy who knows nothing about code can update his site by merely dropping pictures into the folder, and they'll be added to the cue over on the right. I doubt an iFrame would make any difference- if you know something about them I don't, then let me know.
Err... make that over on the left, not the right. Either way, both picture areas are divs. oy I'm out of it this morning. I blame it on having to be at work at 8 on a sunday. *sigh*
I doubt I know anymore about them than you since you went to school for this stuff, but I was thinking the reason the list keeps reseting to the top is because the whole page is reloading everytime you pick one of the pictures. So the thought was that if you could put the pictures in an iframe seperate of the page, when the script changed them out it wouldn't have to reload teh page and thus the list would stay right where it had been when you clicked it.
But as I said, I don't know the capabilites of your script so I don't know if that would even be remotely possible, if it were though I would think it might very well solve your problem. Ofcourse if it's not as simple as telling the scrip to load the image in the iframe instead of the div then it's probably not worth the time to persue.
Sadly, didn't work. I talked to the guy who wrote the tutorial and he says that there's really no way to fix it aside from putting all the thumbnails on the page- it's just not designed for frames. Ah well.

And yes, my work schedule is Sunday through Thursday, because Sundays are eBay's highest volume days.
