Safari Issue

[flash3d889]

Hello X10,

I am having an issue with this gallery that I custom-made for a client. In every other browser the jQuery Carousel (top area with thumbnails) works perfectly, but in Safari after a few scrolls to the right the images stop loading. I looked in the Safari developer menu and I can't find any different in the state of the images or li containers that do load and those that don't load; no difference in computed CSS, HTML, or any JavaScript errors.

I am a windows user so I am not aware of Safari's quirks. Normally I code this with good standards and it works everywhere without issues (I didn't make the rest of the site >.>). Does anyone know why this is not working?

is what I found.

Apparently that plugin is old and not maintained.

Thanks for the info. However, I am still confused about the error that is causing it not to work? I checked over the state of the elements and they were all the same. If possible, I would like to fix the plugin to make it work. It is still my job to make sure the gallery works either way.

Try using a different plug-in. But imho I would stay away from plug-ins people have to download that are not common. Most visitors will not download the plug in they will just leave.

I tried the fixed that I found online, no luck. I can move to a different plugin but (1) it would be more work to learn to use a new plugin and customize it to look and work exactly the same way, and (2) it doesn't answer why it doesn't work. I want as much to get this working as I do to know why it is not working. Hopefully I can learn something and prevent similar issues in the future.

Anyway I am trying everything I know how to do from my end, hopefully someone (like the famous misson) here can figure out an answer as well.

This is a jQuery plugin, just a .js file. Not like Flash or Silverlight.

oh ok ... a plug-in to me is something that has to be downloaded by a 3rd party in order to do something.

What solution did you try?
It might be a bug with safari, if you've already tried

       if ($.browser.safari  &&  $.browser.version < 523 ) {
            this.buttons(false, false);
            $(window).bind('load', function() { self.setup(); });
        } else
            this.setup();
    };

Then I'd suggest upgrading to the latest version of jquery. I can't make a proper environment for testing easily since it seems to work fine for me in Safari locally(I'm on ver 525.29-win 7)!

[flash3d889]

Yes, that and others. None of them work with my install of Safari which is the latest download on Windows XP. I applied that fix anyway since it seems to work for some people, but it doesn't work for me and I still don't have any idea why.

Does it work locally for you? And did you try upgrading to jquery 1.6.1?
