Loading in Content... Odd behaviour was created by skwtayler

Hi again,
A quick question. when a page loads with the Effects Slider, it appears to load in the content rather than in the module position. It looks very odd.

Could you help me with this? Other than that I love it and if we can sort this issue, I think it's 5 stars.

Great support too.

Sorry... the URL is www.khuslen.org

Hi,

What I see on your site is that Hot Effects Slider is loaded into module position (perhaps Advert1) of your template. It's not in content. Actually, plugins can be loaded in content, not modules (actually, modules can be loaded in content using loadmodule plugin, but you obviously didn't use it).

Yes. The problem is as the page loads... the Hot Effects Slider appears to load in the content. It doesn't load very well.

I checked your website and perhaps it's true, but it's like that for less than a second (with my connection speed). Website looks fine once it's 100% loaded.

Yes I know... I feel the same. The client wants it to load properly. Any suggestions?
I tried another slideshow and it worked okay.

Maybe you can try to preload images. Put this javascript before </head> of your template (index.php):

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
//-->
</script>

Than, change <body> tag of the same file to be:

Code:

<body onload="MM_preloadImages('path_to_image/image1.jpg','path_to_image/image2.jpg')">

I listed only image1.jpg and image2.jpg in this sample. Of course, you should list all images.
