anchored thumbstrip scroller

[eke]

I am currently trying to mod the thumbstrip function to include a named anchor for the presently displayed image. What for?

In theme.php I changed the thumbstrip code to this:

Code Select Expand


        <div style="width:300px;height:120px;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;border:1px solid #ff9900;" nowrap="nowrap">
          {THUMB_STRIP}
        </div>


the style is of course be in the css but for illustration sake I pasted it instead the div.
With this we get a single row "thumbstrip" that can contain 5 10 20 etc. thumbnails with the scroller auto activating once there's an overflow.
Bad thing about it is that once you click on a thumb in the scroller it will "scroll back" to the first thumbnail. Adding a goto javascript ref to a named anchor "active_thumb" placed in front of the clicked thumb would solve the problem.  this "thumbstrip scroller" would be optional and a named anchor doesn't hurt in any way.

What you think?
Cheers
eke.

sounds nice. Do you have a working demo we could look at?

Thanks!
