G'day,

first I would like to thank Byron for the excellent product and free license.
This is the third Lightbox clone I have used on my site and easily the best.
When other developers see Floatbox they will give up. Simple as that. :D

Two questions

1. Can you activate preloadAll as page-specific instead of site wide?
2. Can you make slideInterval item-specific? I tried but it didn't seem to work.

A request for future versions.

imgAltAsCaption

This would save lots of coding for many webmasters.

Here is a link to a page of my site that uses a few variations of Floatbox.

Cheers

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the kind words. Sometime when I see Floatbox I feel like giving up too. :D

Pretty much any option, including preloadAll, can be page-specific by setting it in fbPageOptions. Please see the "Setting page-specific options" section of the Instructions.

slideInteval applies to the entire slideshow. You can not, for example, have an interval of 2 seconds between the first and second item, 17.42 seconds between the second and third, and 5 minutes between the third and fourth. The same interval applies to each transition. This interval can be set in the data-fb-options attribute of the link that starts the slideshow (and in a whole lot of other place too).

I might add an altAsCaption option. It wouldn't be hard to do, given that titleAsCaption is already there. I'm not so sure it will save a lot of coding for many site owners. Maybe just for you. ;)

Cheers yerself...
