Hey thanks for the code, any way of making the large image clickable to take you to an even bigger image or an html file?

I’ve tried several stuff, but since the way of getting the images is already a tag using it is not an option (i think…and tried:( )

any other suggestions?

For me using the code by ‘a developer’ fixed it in IE7 in a custom mootools script which had the same problem.

I used the folowwing code:

var tmp = new Date();

var suffix = tmp.getTime();

var largeImage = new Element(’img’, { ’src’: item.href + ‘?’ + suffix });

How does one ensure that images of varying x-y ratio don’t stretch out and become skewed when viewing with this gallery? I have a program that resizes them all to fit within the constrains of the img window; the problem is that when x < y, x stretches to fit the whole window. Is this in the CSS or JS… I cant’ seem to pinpoint the problem.

Great Devin, it works in IE now! But, I found another bug. Its not possible to have a description on the first image :( Is there a workaround?

Okay you crazy kids, I FIXED THE Internet Explorer PROBLEM!!!!. One small draw back is that the smooth transitions I implemented in have to be taken out because IE can’t tell when an image is loaded. If you look at the actual js file, I’ve commented out the line that cause the problem in IE and made note.

What can I say… If someone finds a solution to correct this problem please let me and the rest of the community know.
