I would like some clarification on selling points from the Juicebox Website
Full browser support for Internet Explorer 6+, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera.
Future-Proof and built from the ground up with modern web standards (HTML5 and JavaScript) to work on all devices and not become obsolete.
I understand that all browsers render css and java script code slightly different. And with every change of configuration (Juicebox) or browser update, you are running the risk of experiencing new bugs / conflicts.
Yesterday I added caption for a client and I was not able to navigate with the thumbs anymore - some table of the caption was above the thumbs and changing the css z-index in the theme fortunately fixed it.
Not to mention bugs that have not been fixed like a broken gallery on opera mini - simplevier works just fine on opera mini by the way!
The features that Juicebox promises are fantastic and working for the most part, I understand that you can not predict future rendering of Browsers but I am wondering about future support and bug fixes of Juicebox 1 once 2.0 or the next gallery is released.
Felix claimed
As we looked at adding more features to the non-Flash version of SimpleViewer, it became apparent that we had to redesign and re-build from scratch.
I understand
In order to maintain consistency between the desktop and mobile versions we needed to remove the Flash component and rebuild entirely in JavaScript.
All I know is that I successfully upgraded simpleviewer.js with juicebox.js.
I am under the impression that this Juicebox Gallery is future proof, all of the offered configuration options work across all the major browser you listed on the Juicebox website (and bugs will be addressed and fixed in a timely manner) , and there would be no need to upgrade if I am satisfied with the current configuration options since they are future proof.
