I'm using the Cycle plugin to create a slideshow of linked images on this development version of a client's site:
http://www.zenscope.com/bwss/ My client, who uses Safari 2.0.4 as his primary browser, reports that the slideshow fades to white after the first image and then does nothing. The demo animations on the Cycle website work just fine for him. I set up a page of minimal Cycle test cases here: http://www.zenscope.com/anim-test/ (Note: Test cases 1a and 2a will pause if you rest your mouse cursor next to them, because there's no CSS applied to constrain their width.) I asked him to take a look at those. Some of them use the same markup structure as the "official" Cycle examples, and I expected those to work for him. After viewing the test page, however, he reported some odd results: "When I first loaded the test page, all examples the animation was working. After a while, the top one, Case 1a, stopped (paused) but did not go blank. All the other cases continued the animation. I reloaded the page and then all cases faded to blank white space. I have reloaded the page a multiple times and the animation now fails consistently. "I just reloaded again from your link, into a new tab, but did not open the tab for a minute. When I did the animation was working. This seems pretty consistent -- tried it four times, if I do not open the tab for a minute, animation works. If I open the tab right away, before the first fade, or have it open in a new window, it fails." Can anyone using Safari 2 confirm this behavior on the development site and my test page? So far I've only been able to get confirmation that the slideshow fails in 1.3 (as expected) and works perfectly in 3.0 beta. Before I fiddle with this further, I want to make sure that this problem isn't isolated to my client's computer. If this is repeatable, does anyone have a suggestion for how it might be fixed?
