Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v1.5) and Safari 3 for Windows

[rmcape]

1) Script Title: Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v1.5)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm

3) Describe problem: Script works fine with IE 6, 7, Firefox, and Opera. I seem to remember it works with Safari 2 (I don't own a Mac). It does not work with the new Safari 3 for Windows. The space where the images should show up is blank, though sized correctly.

If I do an alert on "userAgent" in a Safari 3 window, I get:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;en) AppleWebKit/522.11.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Safari/522.11.3

It seems that the script depends on these variables: dom and iebrowser.

If I do an alert on "dom" in a Safari 3 window, I get:
function getElementById() { [native code] }

If I do an alert on "iebrowser" in a Safari 3 window, I get:
[objectHTMLCollection]

I don't know enough to know how to fix this.

Anyone figured this out?

Thanks!

Bob

Ok, John has been bugging me about updating this script for some other issues he's found, but looks like I've finally found a big enough reason to get me off my behind and do it. This script is next in line to be updated, probably in a few days.

That's actually what those should return in Safari and in many other modern browsers. See:

or:

for the updated (now also works in Safari) script and/or for more information.

Thanks! I got it to work.

I compared the new version with the older version I had been using. The older one had some additional scripting at the bottom.

Perhaps because I had the script in a separate file, I did need to add the following to make it work as before (this is the additional code):
// ========================================================
// @name The Fade Anything Technique
// @namespace http://www.axentric.com/aside/fat/
// @version 1.0-RC1
// @author Adam Michela

var Fat = {
make_hex : function (r,g,b)
{
r = r.toString(16); if (r.length == 1) r = '0' + r;
g = g.toString(16); if (g.length == 1) g = '0' + g;
b = b.toString(16); if (b.length == 1) b = '0' + b;
return "#" + r + g + b;
},
fade_all : function ()
{
var a = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
{
var o = a[i];
var r = /fade-?(\w{3,6})?/.exec(o.className);
if (r)
{
if (!r[1]) r[1] = "";
if (o.id) Fat.fade_element(o.id,null,null,"#"+r[1]);
}
}
},
fade_element : function (id, fps, duration, from, to)
{
if (!fps) fps = 30;
if (!duration) duration = 3000;
if (!from || from=="#") from = "#FFFF33";
if (!to) to = this.get_bgcolor(id);

var frames = Math.round(fps * (duration / 1000));
var interval = duration / frames;
var delay = interval;
var frame = 0;

if (from.length < 7) from += from.substr(1,3);
if (to.length < 7) to += to.substr(1,3);

var rf = parseInt(from.substr(1,2),16);
var gf = parseInt(from.substr(3,2),16);
var bf = parseInt(from.substr(5,2),16);
var rt = parseInt(to.substr(1,2),16);
var gt = parseInt(to.substr(3,2),16);
var bt = parseInt(to.substr(5,2),16);

var r,g,b,h;
while (frame < frames)
{
r = Math.floor(rf * ((frames-frame)/frames) + rt * (frame/frames));
g = Math.floor(gf * ((frames-frame)/frames) + gt * (frame/frames));
b = Math.floor(bf * ((frames-frame)/frames) + bt * (frame/frames));
h = this.make_hex(r,g,b);

setTimeout("Fat.set_bgcolor('"+id+"','"+h+"')", delay);

frame++;
delay = interval * frame;
}
setTimeout("Fat.set_bgcolor('"+id+"','"+to+"')", delay);
},
set_bgcolor : function (id, c)
{
var o = document.getElementById(id);
o.style.backgroundColor = c;
},
get_bgcolor : function (id)
{
var o = document.getElementById(id);
while(o)
{
var c;
if (window.getComputedStyle) c = window.getComputedStyle(o,null).getPropertyValue("background-color");
if (o.currentStyle) c = o.currentStyle.backgroundColor;
if ((c != "" && c != "transparent") || o.tagName == "body") { break; }
o = o.parentNode;
}
if (c == undefined || c == "" || c == "transparent") c = "#FFFFFF";
var rgb = c.match(/rgb\s*\(\s*(\d{1,3})\s*,\s*(\d{1,3})\s*,\s*(\d{1,3})\s*\)/);
if (rgb) c = this.make_hex(parseInt(rgb[1]),parseInt(rgb[2]),parseInt(rgb[3]));
return c;
}
}
// ========================================================
So, now it works. It also works on Joomla.

Thanks again,

Bob
