Ha! Well, I was just wondering if I need Highslide at all - if I could use, say, jQuery for the expander?
hislide lets you expand multiple slides at once and it also lets you drag the expanded slides into various positions on the screen.
Do you need this functionality?
I actually want it to expand one slide at a time. I don’t want users to be able to drag the slides. That would be interesting, but not necessary.
Ok, well there are quite a few plugins that do this sort of thing.
This one for example: https://github.com/acolangelo/jQuery-Expander
I would dump highslide and go with one of those.
Unfortunately, I can’t really re-write everything at this stage of the game (deadline is fast approaching). Is there any way I can just disable that functionality?
No idea.
Where did you get the plugin from?
Have you looked at the documentation?
Got it here: http://highslide.com/
I guess I could try to contact support. I’ve also been looking at the API reference - there is an onAfterClose event (fires after the expander has closed, right before the hs.Expander object is deleted). I wonder if this could be used somehow to make another thumbnail expand only after one is closed?
Too complicated 
Go here: http://highslide.com/configurator.php
and pick out the features you want from the list of checkboxes on the right hand side.
I used the configurator to generate a new highslide.js file, but nothing changed. I’m still able to expand more than one image and drag them around. Damn.
Okay, I just set ‘allowMultipleInstances’ to ‘false’ and everything works well. Thanks again for all of your help!
No probs. Glad it worked
