Picture Gallery Viewer Makes us hit the Back Button as Many Times as the Pictures that Have Been have Viewed



User: Alan M. 12 years ago
When I click to view a gallery in Everweb sites - say I click through 4 pictures and close gallery viewer. I have to hit the back button 5 times to get back to where I started. 4 pics plus one landing page = 5 back button clicks to get back to the page I started on.

I have noticed this also in my own sites. I view some of my galleries in preview mode and have to click back as many pictures as I have looked at. If you look at the URL it is changing as you go back - it is scrolling back through the pictures even though they are closed! This is not very cool....any one else see this? Is this a bug or is this the way the app works?

To see this in action go to this Everweb site that is already posted on this forum and click to open the Picture Gallery down mid way on th right, view say 4 pics as you scroll through them - now hit the back button, seems nothing is happening, but you are actually going back throug the picture URL's even though it is closed: http://www.lohashotels.de/hotel-news/hotel-klaus-k-livingroom-helsinki-.html#prettyphoto[gallery16

Edit - why are the links not active? aaaaAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

This behavior has nothing to do with EverWeb. The Gallery widget is based on PrettyPhoto and that's just the way it works.

Here's a couple of examples of galleries that don't do this…

Lightbox Gallery

Swipe Gallery
