multiBox update - Safari iframe fix.

The multiBox script has been updated to include a fix for the iframe caching issue in Safari.

The problem was happening when you used the browser back button, then it didn't matter which links you clicked/iframes viewed it would always show the content for the first item.

Well the fix was to assign a dynamic id to the iframe each time it was called, therefore forcing the browser to treat it as different and not cache the src.

this fix is in version 1.2

Samuel, could you please respond to the "opening initial link" concerns in this thread: http://phatfusion.blogspot.com/2008/02/opening-links-with-imagemenu.html

Thanks!

First, thank you so very much for all the hard work and awesome plugs Samuel!!!

Notsofunbut, your Multibox has a bug when using Internet Explorer 7 and Quicktime 7.

Upon closing a window with a Quicktime movie in it, you get 'an error occured inside a plugin on this page'. And then the window closes, but the sound for the movie starts again, like somehow it's still downloading and playing, but not displayed?

This happens on your demo page, my real page, and doesn't happen with Quicktime in Mozilla...so it's something to do with IE7 and the close window function.

Please advise? It's a big issue, IE7 has the highest market share. :-(

Thank you!!!

I love the multibox script. One thing though. What do I change in the CSS (I'm assuming that's where it is) to make it reposition if the browser window is sized up or down while the script is open. You know, just like the lightbox does.

i want to overlap the layers which is possible with z-index but how to center align those layers as they are controlled through the left and right index in percentage but that is not doing it in exact center of each resoultion

Very neat.

Can you make it not so it doesn't register collisions so stringently when on a single length of road.

In other words once the car is on a given road, it should just run the length of that road, bouncing off the road edges, until it reaches a junction, (try it on a curved road to see what I mean( then maybe the collision detection should kick in.

Hi Sam,

great work with phatfusion!

Just one question:

I have two flash objects on my page and when multibox loads over them it's a mess. I tried changing the z-indexes of the overlay and gave the elements in the css z-indexes, but still no luck.

I even tried giving the flash objects parameters of wmode=transparent but that completely stops the flash files from loading???

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

S.S.

Hi,

I'm evaluating multibox for using in a production web. We are opening iframes to show the details of elements of a list. It works great.

I just need how does onOpen / onClose work. I'm having a hard time making it work.

S-
I'm a total newbie, but really excited about using multibox. Do you offer some sort of readme on how to set up. I grazed your website, but must be a doof for not understanding the step by step of it.
can you email em

This is a really good script.. much better than some of those other ones out there.

One downside I found though was that your script does not work properly when having a doc type on the page, well only with IE6 and IE7.

I tried it with strict and transitional, and they both don't work as it should. Works well in Firefox even if there is a doc type present.

Hi I was trying this script and I a problem in this module, can anybody give me a hand with this?

here is the Java script code:

Java script is:

//var myNav = new ImageNav($$('#kwick .kwick'),320,onClick function);
var ImageMenu = new Class({

initialize: function(myElements,options){
options = Object.extend({
onClick: Class.empty,
start: -1,
openWidth: 0,
smallWidth: 0,
itemWidth: 0,
selected: -1,
open: 'Five'
}, options || {});

this.myElements = myElements;
this.options = options;

options.itemWidth = myElements[0].getStyle('width').toInt();
options.smallWidth = Math.round(((options.itemWidth*myElements.length)-options.openWidth)/(myElements.length-1));

thanks in advance
