1. Re: Vertical Page movement
Newsgroup_User Jun 5, 2008 3:59 AM (in response to gwiebe)You have applied behaviors to your Library item (Header.lbi). That's not
only not allowed, but it also creates a mess on your page. Please remove
the unneccessary, redundant, and illegal javascript *and* <body> tag from
the Library item. In the future, only create your Library items AFTER all
interactivity has been added, not before.
In addition, and actually much worse, you have TWO instances of the !--
#BeginLibraryItem "/Library/Header.lbi" --> markup, and only ONE
correspnding instance of <!-- #EndLibraryItem --> markup. You must fix this
or DW is going to act very strange.
Now, to your problem. You are linking to new pages on each thumb. In other
words, when you click on thumb2, it links you to page2, and when you click
on thumb3, it links to page3. This is an awkward way to do that, since you
have to create and maintain each of those pages. A much better way to do
that would be to let the thumb click just swap an image in the center of the
page, thereby allowing you to stay on a single page. However, since each of
those images is ~128K, your page would be massively heavy. The solution is
to not use the image swap, but to use the Set Text behavior. Each thumb
click would then dynamically write the markup for a particular image into
the same container in the center of the page (table cell), allowing you all
the benefits of staying on a single page, but not encumbering the page with
the aggregate weight of the central, enlarged images, since each image is
only fetched when it is requested, not when the page initially loads. To

4. Re: Vertical Page movement
gwiebe Jun 5, 2008 1:45 PM (in response to Newsgroup_User)Thanks Ace for your help. I appreciate it
I am not sure what you mean by this part
"You have applied behaviors to your Library item (Header.lbi). That's not
only not allowed, but it also creates a mess on your page. Please remove
the unneccessary, redundant, and illegal javascript *and* <body> tag from
the Library item. In the future, only create your Library items AFTER all
interactivity has been added, not before."
Does this mean I cannot have java script in a library item? Or is it my lack of knowlege with proper coding?
Cheers

Newsgroup_User Jun 5, 2008 2:15 PM (in response to Newsgroup_User)> Does this mean I cannot have java script in a library item?
You can have javascript anywhere, but it *does* mean that once you make a
Library item, you CANNOT apply a behavior to it. Why? Think about it:
1. A Library item can only be inserted into the page between <body> and
<body>
2. Thus, a Library item cannot, itself, contain <body> tags, otherwise the
insertion of it into a page would result in duplicate body tags
3. Many behaviors need to also insert some javascript call into the body
tag
4. If you apply a behavior to a Library item, which cannot have a body tag,
where is that javascript call to be placed?
That's what I mean.
> Or is it my lack of knowlege with proper coding?
Yes, that too, but everybody gotta be somewhere!
