The latest Jquery version breaks the "simple thumbnail gallery" widget on a site I manage... [ working-test-site-link ]. The widget simply disappears with the updated jquery.
What are the best alternatives for similar functionality on website that will survive the occasional Jquery update?
(Does not have to be another widget; I am open to coding alternatives in a placeholder.)
Thanks for for your coming suggestions,
-Tom
Tom, the link you supplied is still using jQuery v1.11.1 so are you saying this presentation is working?Quote:

Also it would be useful to know which Xara gallery widget is involved.
I am guessing it is the Gallery (3 Column) Widget, which is an abomination; it is cleaner, quicker and safer to make a small picture frame thumbnail, add in HighSlide for the image alone and clone it for all your pictures.

Acorn,
Sorry for being unclear... non-working-site-link with updated Jquery.
(Working site link above had XARA supplied jQuery v1.11.1 version. Also, when I opened the widget in XDPX, it was entitled "Simple Thumbnail Gallery".)
Going forward, I will use your suggestion...
Thanks!

Tom. These widgets have been reported a number of times to @robxara. Obviously still not fixed. Unfortunate, but apparently on their list. I’ve got a couple that caught me. For non coders, ungroup everything and do an image pop up for each image. You can shift/click for all images and each will pop up separately.

Okay... I converted to non-widget gallery... now how do I setup a scrolling window for the gallery of photos? (The client wants me to add more photos as new products are painted, so this gallery could get kind of long.)

Tom, you make a separate Gallery page of just the images. On the main page, you add in an IFRAME to the Gallery.Quote:

Can you point me in the right direction for such functionality in a responsive photo gallery?
Thanks for your help,

I remember a while back we had several Acorn-initiated conversations about creating galleries using the Highslide functionality - Here is one of the basic examples I created at that time: https://initiostar.co.uk/demo/Photo-Template/
This example transitions with Scale-to-fit-Width from three columns to two columns for a mobile format; changing the photo on the desktop variant auto-changes it in the mobile format. Attachment 129632
It works with jQuery 3.6.0

For a handheld, you would just stack the images in a long page.Quote:

What do you mean by "swipe"? Touch to open the bigger picture?

Gary, the issue is the height of the presentation.Quote:
