Sorry again if I was offensive. Trying to be ironical in a foreing
language frequently leads to this, I should've known better. I'm glad
we sorted it out, except for the soccer thing ;)

About having no idea on the scope of your project, that's what I was
trying to ask you. It's easier to help or offer advice knowing the
whole context, objectives and all, than looking at separate pieces.

If i'm reading your code right, you may want to try eq(i) instead of index
(i).  index is used to return the index of the match element, its not used
to retrieve that element.

hahah, I double posted.  OH boy, bend me over and slap me. 

I don't think you get the point of the double post thing... you said
in another post that i hit refresh... in other words, your feeling
is the mailing list is operators are standing by to take your call
in that you should sit there and hit F5 and F5 and F5 and F5, when
some patience shown might be in order...

As for being rude, you posting (in disabled div topic)

Morning, then tell my why the code is putting that in there straight
from the JCarousel plug-in? 

is *you* being rude to *me*, acting like:
1) I wrote it and could (or want) to explain it to you
2) I owed you an explanation or something

I pointed out that there is no disabled state for a div in the W3C
specs, and you blow up at my wondering why the author of that plugin
put it on there... how the @#$% am i supposed to know?

and don't take my previous post as mean or rude or mad or anything, i
was simply pointing out things you have been doing (all this double
posting crap, rudeness, frustration, confusion, etc) for the past few
days that, put simply, are super annoying...  and that doesn't make it
very appealing for others to help you out I've been patient on all
your posts trying my best to help you figure out your issue, Charlie
has been, Liam has been.. and all we get in return from you is pretty

Charlie, I have said thanks in a lot of my posts.

Second, I am customizing this control way beyond what most people
have.  And yes, it's pretty frustrating to say the least when you
create a plugin and then disappear after 2 years.  While it's open
source, still.  When you email the creator nicely asking him if he's
still contributing and you get no response, and then the forums the
pages for that Carousel are abandoned, one's got to wonder wtf.

My tone?  Look at the kind of responses I get from people like you.
Stuff like Of Course that won't work.  Your tone is just as cocky as
you think mine is.

a number of the last posts directed back to you have been trying to give you 
a clue that everyone is getting really tired of all the frantic posts

I don't see how they are frantic, just separated out. And I don't see
all the people here who are getting fed up.

I want you and Morning to know that some of the responses are
definitely passive aggressive on your side to even start with.  Do you
need examples?

I'm not here to argue.  I'll do my best to consolidate my replies.
And understand that people are human, sure I'm frustrated with the

think they are above others is what I'm talking about:

and you blow up at my wondering why the author of that plugin

put it on there... how the @#$% am i supposed to know?

if that's blowing up then you need to relax when you read replies.
That in no way was blowing up.

from the JCarousel plug-in

Because previous to that, you were pretty cocky about the way you said
that disabled is not part of a div Read the post.

YOu have to take that response above in context. I was in no way
trying to be cocky, just making a point that hey, it's in there so I
don't get why then.

 Charlie, I have said thanks in a lot of my posts.

 Second, I am customizing this control way beyond what most people
 have. And yes, it's pretty frustrating to say the least when you
 create a plugin and then disappear after 2 years. While it's open
 source, still. When you email the creator nicely asking him if he's
 still contributing and you get no response, and then the forums the
 pages for that Carousel are abandoned, one's got to wonder wtf.

 My tone? Look at the kind of responses I get from people like you.
 Stuff like Of Course that won't work. Your tone is just as cocky as
 you think mine is.

 a number of the last posts directed back to you have been trying to 
 give you a clue that everyone is getting really tired of all the 
 frantic posts


 I don't see how they are frantic, just separated out. And I don't see
 all the people here who are getting fed up.

 I want you and Morning to know that some of the responses are
 definitely passive aggressive on your side to even start with. Do you
 need examples?

 I'm not here to argue. I'll do my best to consolidate my replies.
 And understand that people are human, sure I'm frustrated with the
 fact that the author is no longer to be found. Don't take someone's
 frustration to the point of saying I'm being negative when I was not
 THAT negative. What a way to blow this entire thing out of the water.

It's been perfectly clear that whatever you are trying to accomplish
is anything *but* simple...  and after two weeks of messing with it,
maybe it is/was time to cut your losses on trying to manipulate code
with which you have no idea what is going on under the hood.
and code that someone wrote for free, supported for free, and has
since moved on..  the tablesorter plugin is the same way... it's
an older plugin that still works today, but people customizing it are
on their own...

whatever... i've done my best to help and point out issues to this
pointbest of luck... looks like you'll need it

expresso (we don't know your name), if you're still in need of help,
why not post an overview of what you need? You've posted several
pieces of your puzzle but no one can guess the overall structure
you're trying to code. Like I need a carousel that expands when
blablabla and loads blablabla from json. And I'm pretty sure you have
an architectural problem there, the specific issues that pop up are
just a consequence of a lack of planning.

Or just save your sleep time and hire someone with more experience to
do this for you :]

And, please, try to keep discussions decently worded, and avoid
posting in sequence, specially if it's just pointless fighting, this

Has nothing to do with me not being good enough and you have no idea
on the scope of my project.  I can't believe you actually replied like
that and honestly coming here to tell me you're serious.  But to state
something like that and to butt in like this is unbelievable.  Do you
do this to people at work?  They'd probably kick your ass for saying
something like that.
