Thumbnail clicks hangs site

    I have a column with thumbnail images that when clicked present a new window or tab with an enlarged view of the image. BTW, That window looks different from that of a page that does not use a tablepress table. But the real issue is that when a user clicks on second or third thumbnail image, the site no longer functions upon closing the enlarged window or tab. The user must refresh the web page to get the page to operate again. Oddly, the Explorer browser does not exhibit this problem. Chrome, Safari (ipad and iphone), and Firefox browsers all hang with this issue. I built a test page without a table and it operates properly.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    This might be related to the TablePress caching. Please try turning that off, by changing the Shortcode on that page to

    [table id=3 cache_table_output=false /]

    No – that didn’t solve the hang.

    Did you notice that the launched window after the thumbnail was clicked (from the table) looked different from the launched window of the pendant test page (without a table).

    Plus, Internet Explorer seems to work just fine – go figure.

    Kinda of a screwy problem

    Could my theme (Elogix Theme Version: 1.5 By minti) be causing this issue?

    Hi,

    I checked this again now, and from what I can see, this is caused by your theme. It seems to be loading its own old and outdated version of the jQuery JavaScript library. This is similar to this issue: https://tablepress.org/faq/js-functions-not-working/ and needs to be fixed.

    Your suggestion lead me to editing “jQuery Easing v1.3” code

    I put this statement “$(document).ready(function() {” in front of the code
    jQuery Easing v1.3 CODE
    and this statement “});” behind the code

    The site no longer hangs

    I still have the issue that the expanded image window (I think it is from PrettyPhoto lightbox) is not launched from the tables as it is from non-table pages

    I may try a different Theme or continue to research if there is more jScript issues.

    Hi,

    yes, JS issues are the likely cause here.

    If you are using the Shortcode

    [table id=3 cache_table_output=false /]

    the images in the table should behave exactly the same as without a table.
