[Plugin: AnythingSlider for WordPress] Bug – appearance settings expand yes = trouble

Nice catch.

Have you tried upgrading to 0.6.2? Also, does this problem exist in any other browser?

Thanks!

Hi Jacob – thanks for super fast response … i just upgraded to ver 0.6.2 and got same results … i do have multiple Firefox windows open so i might be getting tricked by cache and will close all later and report back if different …

earlier i tried the slider in IE 6.0 and got same kind of growing window … i know IE 6 is no longer support but ugh, still a ton of corporate customers using that browser hence i tried to be mindful in this dept … yet IE was not honoring the height of slider no matter what – e.g., even setting “expand = no” the height would appear like 1000 pixels high regardless of using shortcode height=”300″ or in plugin panel settings assigning height=”300″ … so because the IE height was not respected, when i saw the growing slider when i turned expand=yes, i just figured it was another IE quirk … but when i saw said growing in Firefox, hence the previous post …

using version 0.6.2 with firebug, i do see the div anythingWindow style height: increasing pixels …

accordingly, to be continued :>) cordially, chuck scott

Hey guys!

The problem is that when using the expand option, you need to wrap the slider. It detects the height of the wrapper, the body in this case, then sets itself to that height, thus making the body taller… then it readjusts the heigth, and so on.

Thanks for the tip, Mottie!

So, even though the script wraps the slideshow in .anythingSlider, we still need another wrapper around that?

yes, because the .anythingSlider is what is expanding ??

Awesome. Thanks for the clarification! That had me stumped for a bit, too.

Go Mottie, Go. Just you go. Ooops – I mean -> Way to go and ditto to you to Jacob … just another classic example of how responsive and professional the WP community continues to be … thank you both :>) cs

Cheers,
