    Default A photo slide show feature that I can't control

    I am using Chrome to view my web site.

    On this page http://vets4less.co.uk/MOWS/gallery%201.htm if I double clikc on the thumbnail, up comes a slide show. Not a very good one, I must admit but it is not something that I intended. All that I wanted to do was click on the thumbnail and up comes the relevant layer.

    On this page: http://vets4less.co.uk/MOWS/gallery%205.htm double clicking flashes the layer on and off. this is what I would have expected.

    Can someone explain what is happening here? It would be nice to control it.

    Nick - How are you creating your pop-ups? Are you using a photo gallery template? And if so, which one?

    I see what you are describing in Firefox.

    In the attached, I created a thumbnail from one of your images by reducing the actual image to thumbnail size, then used the Website Properties > Image > Pop-Up Photo option to create a pop-up. You can click, or double click the pop-up without the pop-up image doing anything but closing.

    It sounds to me like you have discovered a feature (bug).

    Ah! I see what you are getting at. The site was started using the Infrastructure theme from the web designs gallery. I them made 11 copies of the gallery page so I would have thought that all pages would have behaved similarly. I would like to use the feature but would also like to control it.

    I have just inspected the Infrastructure template and have noticed that the popups and slide show are not generated using layers. I have looked for a widget that would do the same thing but there does not appear to be one in the designs gallery.

    ETA I have found why the later pages in the gallery work as I originally intended. In the later pages I grouped the green rectangular green background with the photograph. That stops the slide show from working.

    A further point: I noticed that the slide show showed the backgrounds separately from the photos. It's all very confusing!
