Arrow buttons don't work

[jmarx]

Has anyone else experienced an issue where the right and left arrow buttons don't work? But you can still scroll through the photos by clicking directly on them? I would put in a link. But i want to ask first, The issue with putting a link in here is that the issue only happens intermittently. So I can't really troubleshoot like I normally would. So I'll just ask straight out, has anyone experienced this as well? I work for a media company and we're willing to provide compensation for someone who can help us troubleshoot this. I'm at my wit's end.

Hi JMarx!

You know I just noticed the same thing last week in a jsFiddle demo but when I switched browsers it started working so I thought maybe my browser was acting wonky. Anyway, long story short, it was a problem with MovingBoxes initializing on a slide other than the first, via hash tags or initialization code. So I've fixed it in the latest version 2.1.2.

Thanks! I'll give it a try first thing tomorrow/ Thanks for getting to that so fast!

Thanks Chris! That works great! Is there any way to keep the arrows static as you move from photo to photo? So they don't slide up and down? But you can still navigate?

Also .. do you have a paypal/donation email? I'd like to make a donation.

Hi JMarx!

If you want to fix the height so the arrows don't move up and down, just set the fixedHeight option to true.

And I don't think neither Chris nor I has a paypal button, so how about you just "pay it forward" ;)

Thanks, Rob, I did that and it worked well.
I'm not sure what you mean by "pay it forward", but if you just let me know if you have an email address I can paypal to, that would be cool. Otherwise, if I can help you guys in any other way, don't hesitate to ask.

"Pay it Forward" is basically a term to ask you to help out someone in need. So there is no need to donate anything back to me :)

Hi Mottie (and as I said in another thread, thanks for your job ;) ),
Strangely for me, this issue is not fixed. Sometime arrows do not work, and it do not seems to be related to anything. Sometime a refresh do fix the issue, sometime it do not. Very strange.
It do seems to occurs more often when the browser is on hard load (many images to load, and the such) but I'm not sure. I'm using more than one MovingBoxes and the same page, maybe the issue is linked to this kind of usage?
