Slideshows is one area that is seriously well supported with jQuery plugins, most of which would do the job far better than you or I could ever achieve in a reasonable timescale. I just googled "jquery slideshow plugin" and found these review pages (I'… Re: usability issue to fix with javascript/jquery 13 Years Ago by floatingDivs Hi Violet82, This should be what you're looking for.

I had a good look at your code and I didn't know that I could use variables outside the function, I thought that everything … Re: usability issue to fix with javascript/jquery 13 Years Ago by floatingDivs An array starts at 0, not 1. So, you need to calculate from 0 to whatever the last element in your array is (you actually don't...read below to find out how to save yourself time). Even though the image is [B]gloom_full_27.jpg[/B], the array index is 26. Remember, [B]gloom_full_1.jpg[/B] is located at element 0, not element 1. So, what the … Re: usability issue to fix with javascript/jquery 13 Years Ago by Violet_82 Hi floatingDivs, thanks for the explanation, yes it makes sense, I should have thought about the out of bound problem. I replaced the if statement with the suggested one although it still doesn't work, when I get to the end of the pictures it skips the first picture (it's like the picture is missing, there is just the black background) and when I … Re: usability issue to fix with javascript/jquery 13 Years Ago by Airshow Violet, For the record, I struggled to keep it down to my predicted 20 lines, but eventually managed to squeeze everything into 19, including both Next and [COLOR="Green"]Prev[/COLOR] buttons.

Check the 'Last Detected' dates shown for the individual errors and I bet they're reports from crawls done months ago.

No, the dates indicate within the past week. Meanwhile, we've been mobile friendly for well over a year. No changes to our responsive CSS anytime recently.

Our website is mobile friendly too. I guess this is the general message Google has sent to each webmaster. Re: Mixed signals about mobile usability 10 Years Ago by rtrethewey I'm still leaning toward a data glitch. I'd be more confident if I was seeing other similar reports online, but I can't think of any other reasonable explanation.

Do an inurl: search for any of these pages using a smartphone or an emulator and look for Google's "Mobile Friendly" label. You don't even really need a smartphone. If you use Chrome, you can use the emulator in the F12 Developer's Tools. Works a charm for this purpose.
