I have a sequence of images running in an fbCycler, but this doesn't work when the page is called in an iFrame in a floatbox window.

This is the page

https://reeddesign.co.uk/photos/

(the clickable image in question - labelled 'Caister Beach' - is about 1/3 of the way down the page)

but I've also created a test page with just a single clickable image

https://reeddesign.co.uk/photos/test.html

and this is the page with the fbCycler that's called in the iFrame

https://reeddesign.co.uk/photos/caister1.html

It looks like something is stopping the fbCycler from running in the iFrame. Is this a security issue? And is there any way round this?

Thanks

Thanks for the clear examples.

It's an internal Floatbox bug.

There's a mechanism that pauses cyclers that reside in a document beneath a modal floatbox. The bug is that it also pauses the cyclers that reside inside the upper floatbox.

In the source code the problem is the line
if ( !instance || limit < instance.stackOrder ) {

That should be less than or equal
if ( !instance || limit <= instance.stackOrder ) {

In the compiled 8.1.1 core.js, the matching code segment is
(!(o=N(e))||n<o.$)
You could judiciously add the = to that.

There's a minor update in the release chute and this change will be in there.
