Confirmed Jim's problem - right-click disabled in IE8 but not in FF 3.6.3

Works fine here to Jim.. (Though Opera is immune to the protection)

Which FF extensions are you using? Maybe one of them is conflicting.

Of course, as we all know by now - screen capture is always an option as is digging the photo out of your cache

Works fine in my FF 3.6.3

The only add-ons I have are these:

Tweak works in Dragon [Chrome]

boy,
Thanks for the compliments. Yes this is right-clicking on the popup itself. It's not a big deal, I just would have liked it to work as planned. If I ever figure out what the problem was I will let you know. BTW, it does work correctly in preview mode.

Jim

Sledger,

These are the add-ons I have installed.

Jim, why not try temporarily disabling them all and see what happens?

Still, at the end of the day it's all wasted effort imho. As you have seen, it works for some but not for others. And there's always ways around it.

sledger,
I tried disabling them all, no difference. I'm not going to pursue it because, like I mentioned, it's not that important and there's ways around it anyway. If I do figure it out I'll let you know.

Jim

Sorry to hear that it doesn't really work for you, Jim, but happy that it's not too vexing. Actually, it's perhaps good that it doesn't work in your browser because otherwise you would have thought your pictures to be safe on the net and they're really not...

Boy - Thanks for these customizations. I hadn't visited the forums too often in the past, but I see that there is a great community out here!

I've been on the HS site trying to find out how to do 3 specific things:
- Get the slide navigation buttons to be bigger (like in the "red barn" example on http://highslide.com/#examples)
- Change the font size/family of the caption
- Use the black overlay options for the captions (like hs.registerOverlay)

Your mods worked really well for me - how did you grab the code from HS for your modifications?

Thanks again for the toys

Wolfcoach, glad you find the tweaks useful.

Sorry to say, but as far as I know the three customizations you want are not possible through XWD6 tweaks. You'd need to configure Highslide for that and that is impossible in XWD6. You could download the HS-pack and try to find your own solution and bypass XWD6's native HS-option. I haven't tried this but imagine it would be possible.

All possible customization code can be found on the HS website and their forum. Some of the code that I used for the tweaks I found here: http://highslide.com/ref/.

If you're going to pursue this, please show us your results. Would be very much appreciated.
