Scrolling while viewing gallery (for browsers with no fullscreen support)

[davewhitley]

For Safari and other browsers that don't support fullscreen:

It seems that once the gallery is initiated, the user can scroll throughout the page. This isn't a big deal, but when the user scrolls down and then clicks on the link to initiate the gallery, the user sees half of a gallery because the gallery is positioned to the very top of the page (top:0).

I don't understand quite understand the problem. Can you describe it in more detail?

Can you tell me what exact browser you use AND provide a link to a sample page, so I can look into it, maybe create a sample case on http://jsfiddle.net

Mac OSX 10.6.8 Safari 5.1.7 (although I assume it does the same thing on any browser that uses the jQuery fallback)

Sure thing. You can recreate the scenario using the test page you have provided.

1. Scroll to somewhere on the page and make sure the thumbnail images are still visible: http://cl.ly/2c1Z3R2p2L143L3y3y2t
2. Click an image to initiailize the slideshow: http://cl.ly/0O1O190B1o2o0j0U231Z
3. The slideshow is cut off because the slideshow is positioned at the top of the page, regardless of where the user has scrolled.

Thanks for your help!

Any luck with finding a fix for this big?
