phun with photos

Some more fun with the photo album. I added keyboard navigation with a little image opacity eye candy.

move forward through an album using 'spacebar' or right arrow '-->'
move backwards through an album using the left arrow '<--'
pause a slide show using the 'spacebar'
play/continue a stopped/paused sideshow using the 'spacebar'
move to the next image in a slide show using the right arrow '-->'

An album example

A sildeshow example

If you're inclined, please let me know how it works for you under various operating systems and browsers.

There is some weirdness with safari that I have been unable to resolve. I can't seem to get the opacity and progress bar to work properly while using keyboard events. In general, I have had weird problems with safari and setting opacity dynamically. So, for now, there are no keyboard controls for the slideshow under safari. I'm grateful that it works for regular album navigation. If anyone has any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong here, I'd relish any input.

Also, I have been unable to figure out if there is opacity support of IE 5 under mac os, so no translucent images on IE 5 for mac. Everything else seems to work fine with this browser.

All I get is porn. I am using a Commodore 64 with ROM Basic.

peter - that is a feature I added 'cause I know all Commodore 64 users (current and past, I'm looking at you Dr.) are perverts.

Things seem to be working as expected in Firefox 1.0/OS X 10.3.3. Looks awesome.

...just noticed that there is a 5th empty box when I select "show all".

posted November 18, 2004 8:55 PM by art

art - the empty box is just a filler for when an album has less than 5 images. The layout is 5 images wide, and it seemed empty when there was less, so I added empty box(es) for filler. Maybe not the best idea as you thought it was a bug :)
