Jonny,
Thanks for the second look! Your comments helped me track down the
"problem" -- though I'm not quite sure how I'm going to handle it at
present... It seems like the script doesn't include an explicit width
for the "carousel-clip-region." (We knew that already, I suppose.)
Rather, it's generated by a parameter in the script: "numVisible,"
which I had set to 5.
You pointed out the fact that the tables were (much!) wider in IE than
in Firefox, and I had been considering that a separate problem. (I was
going to get to it later, because it looked really bad!) As it turns
out, it's the SAME problem. I had calibrated the "numVisible" based on
what I was building in Firefox, so IE was doing what it was supposed
to: showing 5 tables, plus change. It's just that those same 5 tables
took up 1205 pixels in IE.
I'm going to have to get those tables pulled together in IE one way or
another, since they just look bad, but perhaps setting some kind of
explicit div#mycarousel { width:800px!important; } might help adjust
for width variations.
I suppose the script is geared more toward images with fixed widths,
rather than tabular data!
Thanks a LOT for the input, it's put me on a trail I couldn't have
found otherwise!
Jeff.
