Slightly Thickerbox 1.7
I’ve upgraded Slightly Thickerbox to use JQuery 1.0.1 and the updated version of Interface Elements for JQuery.
Archive for August 2006
I’ve upgraded Slightly Thickerbox to use JQuery 1.0.1 and the updated version of Interface Elements for JQuery.
I’ve just posted a new version of Slightly Thickerbox. This version fixes the issue that the last release had with IE and the Interface Elements for JQuery. It also will hide any visible select boxes on the page when a Slightly Thickerbox window is opened. This works around a long standing bug in IE that places select boxes above all page elements. (It’s a “feature” that has caused many a web master to rip hair from their heads.)
Right now, there are two outstanding bugs that I know of:
1. Java Applets still appear in front of Slightly Thickerbox items.
2. Sound from movies still plays in background when Previous/Next/Close links are clicked.
If anyone knows of a way to fix these issues, I’d love to hear them. (Though I have an idea on #1. #2 looks to be more complicated.)
As always, you can get Slightly Thickerbox by going to http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/SlightlyThickerBox/

Jason, the runtime error I get when trying to uninstall Cookie jar is:
Run Time error “5″
Invalid procedure call or argument
(Thanks… you can just email me at codybearz@rap.midco.net
if you would want to.)

The animation to make the box apear doesnt work at all in Opera 9, so the box won’t show. However when you click the translusent black div the box apears and then animates away as normal. You may want to make it work in Opera as lots of people do use it:
It’s my birthday today, but the present is for you. I’ve upgraded Slightly Thickerbox to version 1.5.
You can now add movies (MPEG or AVI) to a Slightly Thickerbox group. You can also group AJAX pages together. This could be used as a quick and easy way to put together an online presentation.
I’ve also done a lot of backend code restructuring, but that won’t concern most of you. If you were calling the TB_Show function directly, you’ll need to change your reference to TB_ShowObj and pass it a reference to the object you want to display. For example:
TB_ShowObj(document.getElementByID(”FirstElement”))
Finally, I’ve added support for the Interface Elements for JQuery. This is a JQuery plugin that, among other things, adds some more advanced animation capabilities. If you include the Interface Elements scripts (included with the download, see below for the code), then Slightly Thickerbox will use the advanced animation capabilities automatically. Otherwise, Slightly Thickerbox will use the built-in animation capabilities that JQuery possesses.
As always, you can get the latest version of Slightly Thickerbox by going to http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/SlightlyThickerBox/.
EDIT: I just uncovered a bug with Slightly Thickerbox and IE when using the Interface Elements. For now, just disable the Interface elements (comment out or delete the references). I’ll post a fix when I figure out what is going wrong. (FireFox seems to be unaffected by the bug.)

Hi Jason, upgraded last night to use thickerbox 1.5 and it solved my ‘not grouping images in whole table just rows’ problem. However I am using this on another page that has a Java Applet in the middle and the applet always appears in front of thickerbox. Example here,
http://www.duncane.plus.com/albums/course/15th.html
I’ve tried the trick but no luck. I also tried to recreate the fix used for lightbox here,
http://www.huddletogether.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=124
but again no luck. I’m pretty new to all of this so I’m a bit lost now.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks
Ewan

RichH53, What’s the runtime error?

What I meant to say in Comment 3 is “I’ve tried the ‘wmode param’ trick but no luck”….
Cheers

ovdcoke,
It looks like Java applets always appear on the top of the page no matter what the HTML code. Just like select boxes in IE. It’s an issue that has caused many a web master to tear out their hair. I’ve worked around the select issue for the next release of Slightly Thickerbox (which will be posted shortly), but am still trying to get a Java Applet workaround in place.

Thanks Jason,
I’m using Cody’s thickbox again just so I could get a workign version to show some people. It works fine with the Java Applet, have a look
http://www.duncane.plus.com/albums/course/2nd.html
I’m still curious to see if the animations would make it look any slicker though.
Thanks Again
Ewan

Thank you for implementing the ability to play video files. This sets STB apart from the others in a nice way.
However I seem to be having issues with it. The video content is always pushed up against the left border of the window, and the aspect ratio is off, as in appears square instead of 320 x 240. Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks

jmp3 & thickbox are both great plugins that using jquery,
then, how could jmp3 work in a thickbox window?
jmp3 works fine alone, it seems that
$(document).ready(function(){
$(”.mp3″).jmp3();
});
not work when loaded by thickbox
then which event should it been binded? any sugestion would be grateful.
another question , how could thickbox work when loaded in a thickbox window? that’s thickbox over thickbox,
i’ve patch some flaws in thickbox, maybe someone will need it.
such as:
animated gif problem:thickbox loading again and again when display animated gif
tiny picture problem:thickbox size is too small when display small size picture
selects disapeared when thickbox closed:selects disapeared when thickbox popup,but won’t show again when thickbox quit.
maybe someone will like it, see diff
