Two Simple Gallery Queries

[clpix]

1) Script Title: SimpleGallery

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

3) Describe problem:

Thanks to John Scheuer's amazing attention to this forum (and his superb solutions), I have added a background color to simplegallery in a site on which I'm working. It works in IE, FF, Chrome, and Safari. I also switched to simplegallery_iefix.js. However, in IE—an instant before simplegallery loads—I briefly see the word "null" appear, which wrecks the effect. First question: can that be resolved?

Second question: How does one delete the 1/x number of slides slug at the bottom of the slide show?

The site-under-construction is www.betsylittle.com

Many thanks in advance for any help, Christopher

Second question first. Put this stylesheet in the head of the page:

<style type="text/css">
.gallerystatus {
	display: none !important;
}

Or incorporate its rule into an existing stylesheet for the page.

First question - Replace the showslide function in simplegallery_iefix.js with this one:

		showslide:function(keyword){
			var slideshow=this
			var setting=slideshow.setting
			var totalimages=setting.imagearray.length
			var imgindex=(keyword=="next")? (setting.curimage<totalimages-1? setting.curimage+1 : 0)
				: (keyword=="prev")? (setting.curimage>0? setting.curimage-1 : totalimages-1)
				: Math.min(keyword, totalimages-1)
			setting.gallerylayers[setting.bglayer].innerHTML=simpleGallery.routines.getSlideHTML(setting.imagearray[imgindex])
			setting.$gallerylayers.eq(setting.bglayer).css({zIndex:1000, opacity:0}) //background layer becomes foreground
				.stop().css({opacity:0}).animate({opacity:1}, setting.fadeduration, function(){ //Callback function after fade animation is complete:
					clearTimeout(setting.playtimer)
					setting.gallerylayers[setting.bglayer].innerHTML='';  //empty bglayer (previously fglayer before setting.fglayer=setting.bglayer was set below)
					try{
						setting.onslide.call(slideshow, setting.gallerylayers[setting.fglayer], setting.curimage)
					}catch(e){
						alert("Simple Controls Gallery: An error has occured somwhere in your code attached to the \"onslide\" event: "+e)
					}
					setting.currentstep+=1
					if (setting.autoplay[0]){
						if (setting.currentstep<=setting.totalsteps)
							setting.playtimer=setTimeout(function(){slideshow.showslide('next')}, setting.autoplay[1])
						else
							slideshow.navigate("play/pause")
					}
				}) //end callback function
			setting.gallerylayers[setting.fglayer].style.zIndex=999 //foreground layer becomes background
			setting.fglayer=setting.bglayer
			setting.bglayer=(setting.bglayer==0)? 1 : 0
			setting.curimage=imgindex
			setting.navbuttons[3].innerHTML=(setting.curimage+1) + '/' + setting.imagearray.length
			if (setting.imagearray[imgindex][3]){ //if this slide contains a description
				setting.$descpanel.css({visibility:'visible'})
				setting.descdiv.innerHTML=setting.imagearray[imgindex][3]
			}
			else if (setting.longestdesc!=""){ //if at least one slide contains a description (feature is enabled)
				setting.descdiv.innerHTML='';
				setting.$descpanel.css({visibility:'hidden'})
	
			}
		},

You're a one-man service industry! Thanks. Both worked, of course. Best, Christopher
