I released version 1.0 which is hopefully stable. It is now supporting ie6 (barely)

is this something that could be aded as a resource at this point?

Hi:
Thanks for the update. I'll take a close look at it again in the next couple of days, and offer some feedback.

Works great now (IE6!), as far as I can see.
One thing, though. If the visitor uses a low screen resolution, there's no way for him/her to reach 'close', 'next' or 'previous'. The links are just out of site, scrolling won't help.

ah, great catch! I need to stop the top position at 0

What's the file in which you can change 'prev', 'next' and 'close' into something else?
Thanks,
Arie Molendijk.

There isnt currently. This is my idea for that: I was going to make 3 more config properties for the text of those buttons. You could then leae the text blank and then assign a background image to them in cs. More flexibility that way.

I added this to the requested features, next push I make will have this available

Tested on Firefox 1.5 for Linux

1) Transitions are poor
this is more of an asthetic issue then a real bug, but it double loads the image.
what I mean by that is it will load it really quick, then it will resize the layered window and reload the image again.

2) Relative position bug
see screen shot

3 options is a good idea. but not the way you are saying
-- 1 = user defined text
-- 2 = user defined image
-- 3 = default (next/previous) text

great post boogyman.

1. I am using YUI and so I am bound to their animation libraries. You can however adjust the settings (grow, fade) and the also change the transition algorithm in the config object. I am surprised to hear that transitions are poor considering the popularity of this library. Now as far as the double load, this is an issue with ie6, i tried to bypass it by pre-loading as much as possible but im still looking for a real fix. I do not however, see this issue in ie7 or ff2 (Windows). So this will take some further investigation.

2. This is a CSS inheritance problem, I am looking into a fix for this.

3. Well, I'll think some more about your suggestion. I would rather not let the user insert an image into the dom, but rather let them define a background image in CSS. I add a new config property "buttonText" this is an object with 3 properties, one for each of the 3 buttons. If there is no config property it defaults to the default text. You can define text or a blank space, then go into the CSS and set a width/height and image. This way would also give you hover properties for mouse overs.

So how do I go about getting this thing evaluated for inclusion to the DD library of components? I think it's at a very stable point.

I might add that there are lots of very good scripts that aren't in the DD Library. Merit is far from the only factor. And, before you get into further discussion with me over this, please be fully aware that I have very little to do with what gets in or what doesn't. ddadmin is the sole proprietor, as far as I know, and you can reach him at the address from the link I gave you (which - the link - is also at the top of the main DD page).
