Debugging a jquery carousel page scroll

[Lorin Rivers]

Geniuses,

I have a WordPress site that uses a plugin that uses jQuery and Pikachoose and some other magic to make some slideshow/carousel objects.

On a page like this one: <http://more.andrewyates.com/photography/location/> if the page is partially scrolled down, when you click the bottom thumbnails, the page will scroll up when the image loads, almost like there's an anchor tag url in play. I can't figure out where this is coming from and my JS debugging is not very strong.

Any ideas?

I would try adding a "return false;" at the end of the click handler.

I recommend using the uncompressed version ( jquery.pikachoose.full.js) for dev and debugging. Then switch to the compressed version for production.

As Meghan said, add return false to the end of your click handler.

Additionally, I would also use stopPropagation and preventDefault. Your click handler should look something like:

function(e){
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
// Your code
return false;
}

In a jQuery event handler, return false is the same as adding both
e.preventDefault() and e.stopPropagation(). You need at most one of
the three, depending on whether you want to stop the default behavior,
the event bubbling (propagation), neither, or both. If you want the
code in your event handler to be the only thing that happens when that
event is triggered, use return false.
