FrogJS hops to version 1.1

posted by Eric Puidokas February 14th, 2007

I’ve received a bunch of emails that last couple weeks about using my FrogJS gallery. Many of you were having problems in IE 6 and 7. I could only recreate the problem when the script was run locally, so I thought maybe it was a weird permissions bug in IE. Well I took another look at the problem today and was finally able to track down the real issue. Firefox (along with most other browsers) allows you to access global variables before its construtor has finished. Internet Explorer does not. Now that I think about it, I believe IE’s behavior was actually correct, but I’ll have to dig through some javascript documentation to be sure.

Another addition to FrogJS is the ability to link your main image to another website. Just add the `rel` attribute to your links with the URL. The example files in the FrogJS v1.1 zip file show this new technique. This feature goes against the actual purpose for the `rel` attribute, but there didn’t seem to be a better way to implement it and maintain backwards compatibility with FrogJS version 1.0.

Again, thank you everyone that tried this script out and found bugs in it. There’s only so much testing I can do on my own.

Love this script to death! I use it as a dynamic menu linking the images to pages on my site. Kudos Eric.

Great script!!

Can this consume a RSS feed of photos? For example, could I use my Flickr XML/RSS feed and have them displayed in this script?

Hi, Eric!

The script is WOW … but … when I want to use it (placed) in a SpryTabbedPanes (Dreamweaver), it doesn’t work.

I realy hope you or someone else from this blog can help me.
