I completely forgot about IE having problems with the fadeIn and fadeOut , thanks for the tip

Hehe, thanks for the compliments

Anyway, there’s another small issue I found with IE7, not a problem with the code here, but IE7 (and probably 8 ) turns off cleartype when filters are applied. This means that there’ll be no font smoothing regardless of whether or not the system setting is on.

To fix this I used:
$(‘.news_visible’).fadeIn(function(){
this.style.removeAttribute(“filter”);
});

…after the ‘fadeOut this/fadeIn that’ within the fader functions.

To correct the first container use the same line straight after the .new_visible class is created. This removes the filter after the fade effect has completed, so the fade is still without cleartype but this is IE’s problem.

Thanks again, and my compliments to you for your prompt replies.

For prev_news function. After the $(‘#current_news_num’).text(current – 1); put this:

if($(‘.news_visible’).prev(‘.single_news_container’).length==false){
$(‘#arrow_left’).hide();
}
if($(‘.news_visible’).next(‘.single_news_container’).length){
$(‘#arrow_right’).show();
}

And for next_news function. After the $(‘#current_news_num’).text(current + 1); put this:

if($(‘.news_visible’).next(‘.single_news_container’).length==false){
$(‘#arrow_right’).hide();
}
if($(‘.news_visible’).prev(‘.single_news_container’).length){
$(‘#arrow_left’).show();
}

Tell me if it works for you

Thanks again

first we need to set ids on the anchor links. So change that to:

$(‘#news_navigation’).html(‘<a ID=”arrow_left” href=”javascript:prev_news();” rel=”nofollow”>’ + prev_html + ‘</a> <span id=”current_news_num”>1</span>/’ + news_No +’ <a ID=”arrow_right” href=”javascript:next_news();” rel=”nofollow”>’ + next_html + ‘</a>’);

Then in the javascript functions.
For function to scroll left, after the last line recheck if there is an item before or there isn’t.
if($(‘.news_visible’).prev(‘.single_news_container’).length){
$(‘#arrow_left’).show();
}else{
$(‘#arrow_left’).hide();
}

Same for function to scroll right (but instead of “prev” put “next” and instead of “arrow_left” put “arrow_right”.

I haven’t test this, but should work, can’t see a reason not to.

Thank you!
