JavaScript

I don’t think nofunzies wants our help so let’s let him get back to his happy day and get back to talking up the slider. :wink:

Hi guys.

Thanks for all of your kind comments. I’m glad people are enjoying the slider and hope that everyone here manges to get some use out of it.

In regards to @Nofunzies comments I don’t think I need to say any more. Most of your opinions reflect my own. I do get a lot of support emails every day now and so far I have managed to answer all of them. But I can’t offer the level of support @Nofunzies was asking for for free… there is just not enough time in the day.

Anyway its encouraging to see a forum like this in support of my script. Thanks again guys.

i have to say s3Slider is the best i came across

How would I tell IE6 simply not to load it as it keeps breaking my site?

Thanks in advance.

You would place the script within a downlevel-hidden comment so that the script is available to IE only when it is version 7 or above.


<!--[if gte IE 7]>
<script src="js/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js"></script>
<script>
...
</script>
<![endif]-->

Hi All,

I have had this slider running for quite a while now and wish to add in a link for each slide, yet when I update the code I am having no luck to get it to work.

Here is a sample of my code,

<a href="/linkishere/"><img src="/promos/images/LandingA.jpg" alt="" title="" width="735" height="401" /></a>

And this is how it appears on the demo webpage

<a href="#link1"><img src="images/toystory.jpg" alt="" title="Caption 1" /></a>

Could you please kindly offer any suggestions?

Hi,

Came across this thread after I saw that Nivo doesn’t support IE6. My demographic will most likely have a good percentage still on IE6. I saw this post at WP about someone who seems to have a solution for it WordPress › Support » [Plugin: WP Nivo Slider] making wp-nivo-slider compatible with IE6. It seems from that post though that the fix involves WP installations only, unless I’m misunderstanding him. Would anyone know how to make his fix work for a static html site?

48

Okay. I downloaded IETester and tested Nivo in IE6, and it’s pretty cracked. As I said above, someone seems to have come up with a WordPress-specific fix for Nivo and IE6 at WordPress › Support » [Plugin: WP Nivo Slider] making wp-nivo-slider compatible with IE6.

Would that fix he’s created work with a static html site? He mentions putting the fix in a certain WordPress page so I don’t know where you’d put that code in a static html site. Or, if not, I don’t know, would it be possible to do something like install the script (and this guy’s fix) on a blog and then somehow call that working script into where you want it on your static html site? Something like an iframe or something. I don’t know too much about that, but might it be a fix for the Nivo/IE6 issue?

49

Yes, his CSS fix will work on a static web site.

Yes, lol I just noticed that now. It’s just a style and can be put in the CSS file. And this also IE6 PNG transparency issue with image slider controls - Neowin Forums. Thanks.

Can nivo slider work also like a carousel?
So that it looks like a grid, containing maybe 25 pictures (5 lines each with 5 pictures) and on click it slides in the next 25 pictures.

If that’s possible, is there a site which has that implemented?

If you’re interested in JavaScript and similar animation transitions that you see using the nivo slider I would urge you to have a look at my CSS animator library Jellybean that does similar transitions in about 50 lines of code (HTML, CSS and Javascript): http://ainalem.com/tiles.html
