When the thumbnail display is turned off and you switch through the images beyond the last thumbnail in the current set of thumbnails, then turn the thumbnail display on again, it first displays the old thumbnails and then switches to the new ones.
Not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior, but I do find it irritating.

On devices with touch screens it would be very convenient if the "swipe up/down" gestures would have the same effect as clicking on the "< Back" button. Much like in the image viewer of facebook. This behavior has become so familiar that one would expect it in any image browser ;-).

Since Juicebox already reacts on "swipe left/right" for browsing through the images, and the "back" functionality is also already there, I guess it shouldn't be too much work to create a link between "swipe up/down" and "back".

I guess I misinterpreted firstImageIndex then. The "#number" feature with enableDirectLinks=FALSE (the default) is exactly what I want, because that way I can get to the gallery by clicking on one of my own thumbnails, navigate through the images in the gallery, and immediately get back to my own page by clicking on the "< Back" button.

Setting showSmallBackButton="TRUE" is a workaround, but having swipe up/down act as "back" function would be preferable.
I'll post that in the Feature Requests thread.

Thanks for your detailed help!

Oh, and while I'm at it: it would also be nice to have the ESCape key act as "back" button, much like in the facebook image viewer.

First a word about how much I've come to love Juicebox!
It is exactly the tool I was looking for, and I just had the most amazing experience using it. I have an existing page with thumbnails and wanted to launch the gallery view when the user clicks on one of the thumbnails. Since I wanted the gallery to start with the selected image, I browsed through the config options and came across firstImageIndex. Not knowing how I could convey the image index into that variable, I just wrote the links as <a href="gallery.htm#12">, where "12" was the current index. And what can I say? It just worked!? :-)
Maybe this is actually documented somewhere, but I didn't come across it in my quick search. Anyway, that's what I call intuitive!

So, now I managed to have a "< Back" button that also works fine in a browser on my PC. But when I use my gallery on my iPhone (Safari), there is no such button. This, by itself, is not too big a deal, since on devices with touch screens it has become common use to go back from a particular image view by swiping up or down. However, this doesn't work out of the box, and I couldn't find an option that might enable this.
Is there a way to make the swipe up/down gesture go back to the previous page?

Klaus

Thanks, that did it.
If it all works fine once on the web server, this is OK for me.

I am currently working locally, directly loading the files into the browser.

The problem can be (at least here ;-) easily reproduced:

- Expand the juicebox_pro_1.5.1 archive into any directory.
- Load the example web/index.html and it works.
- In a shell, change into the "web" directory.
- Now do
  mv jbcore ..
  and change the line
  <script src="jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>
  in index.html to
  <script src="../jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>
- Reload index.html and see the missing icons.
- Now change the above line in index.html to
  <script src="abc/jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>
  and do
  mkdir abc
  mv ../jbcore abc
- Reload index.html and the icons are there.

So it looks like it always works if the jbcore directory is somewhere below the web directory, but not if it is above it.
Shouldn't this always work, no matter where the jbcore directory is located?

Klaus

When I use something like

<script src="/path/to/my/jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>

everything works fine, but the icons for "Hide Thumbnails", "Open Image in New Window" as well as the left and right arrows to switch between images, are missing. There are just some small rectangles with indications of hex codes displayed instead (like what you see when a UTF-8 glyph is missing).

Is there something else that needs to be adjusted if I want to use a jbcore directory from a central location?

Klaus

Thanks, with CDATA it works.

Just wondering why there is a difference between, e.g, &lt; and &uuml;.

When I have an HTML tag like &uuml; (German Umlaut 'ü') in the <title>
or <comment> section in an <image> entry of the config.xml file, the
image gallery shows only a black screen and doesn't work.
Tags like &amp;, &quot; or &lt; work just fine there.

Is this a bug, and can it be fixed?
