Using Highslide JS as an inline content slider

Hello,
I searched through the API reference but I couldn't find a solution. Here is what I want to achieve:

1. Have a simple HTML markup, like

Code: Select all

<ul id="carousel">
<li><img>
<li><img>
<li><img>
</ul>
2. Call HighslideJS on this element and turn it into a content slider.
3. Have the slider run inside the page and not as a popup or another element.
4. Use all of the wonderful functionality of Highslide, like prev/next buttons, transitions, auto slideshow, etc.

I know I can call the Expand function onload, but it still opens the slider in another wrapper that is absolutely positioned. Instead, I want to be able to use my existing markup.
I would be very glad if I can do this with Highslide, as I will be able to get rid of jQuery and all buggy content sliders that do not work in IE6. This will save bandwidth and improve performance, as I will only require a single script.

Could you help me with some guidance on this?

Thanks

Re: Using Highslide JS as an inline content slider

Hi,

IÔÇÖm sorry, but all Highslide expanders are popups and they canÔÇÖt be placed inline in the page.
Even this gallery: http://highslide.com/examples/gallery-in-page.html is actually a popup even if it looks like it is placed inline in the page.

Re: Using Highslide JS as an inline content slider

Yes, I saw this example, as well as a few other interesting demos on your website. I will consider using this approach - it does indeed look like the slider is "in-page".

Anyway. I just wanted to say - Highslide is the best lightbox script I have seen and the visual editor is awesome. The functionality of Highslide is unmatched in any other script, including jQuery plugins.
Keep up the good work.
