Web Site Problem Solved….
The web site problem has been solved – almost! We now know you would not have noticed any difference using the gallery images unless you were using Google Chrome as your web browser.
For some reason the scrolling gallery is not working with Google Chrome – but is fine with IE8, Firefox and Safari. Sorry for any inconvenience. This is a known problem – not just with our web site. We will endeavour to find out exactly what the problem is with Google Chrome – if you know the answer please let us know!

Hi
Re your problem with Chrome, this has occurred with a few website galleries and generally relates to image onload properties. On your set up you will need to make adjustments to the file:
wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/shutter/shutter-reloaded.js?ver=1.3.0
Go to approximately line 150 which starts “D.innerHTML”
Remove the src attribute from the img element.
Straight after the same D.innerHTML statement, type:
document.getElementById(“shTopImg”).src = shutterLinks[ln].link;
So that line will then look something like
D.innerHTML = ”+shutterLinks[ln].title+”;
shutterReloaded.showImg();
Can’t confirm the spacing is perfect, especially with this posting box but with a few trials you should get this to work. The issue appeared to be fixed in a later version of Chrome but just tested on the up to date dev version and back again, so worth the time fiddling around.
Another option but one involving a lot of work would be to change over to a CSS/XHTML gallery. May improve accessibility for some users and search engines plus avoid future browser issues, particularly with one or two burgeoning mobile devices. If you were interested there are many options via search, you might start with searching for Stu Nichols site.
Just a thought and in no way meant to be a criticism of your website. Enjoyed visiting and the images look good either way.
Thanks for that – our webmaster is away at the moment but will look at it when he returns.
