Another FlashBox user found a solution for this problem. But I will fix this in the next release of FlashBox

I am having wierd issues.
It seems to be working fine with Opera. But, in Firefox the script doesnt load initially. Then, when I press back button, it seems to work.
Sample page with flashboxed images : http://www.pallab.net/2007/05/07/microsoft-unveils-windows-live-hotmail-beta/

The answer to you're question, no I don't think there is something wrong with the code or the browser.

FlashBox starts working when the browser tells it to. The browser will call the script when the page is loaded (without images), and when you open a page and try to click a link at once there is a possibility that you hit a link without this link is activate yet.

The next time you refresh the page, parts of it are already in the memory of the browser: the cache. And so its activated much faster.

The ultimate test is, empty your cache. go to the page where things go wrong, and wait (longer then you usual would do) and then click. It should work just fine. It sometimes happens, in FlashBox v01 I used another approach, which was so slow that you had to wait till everything was loaded on the page (images an all) the current version is much faster.

I'm working on a solution for this problem, so you see that FlashBox is activated....

Hi, thanks for the great work. I am switching to wordpress and installed flashbox 1.4 For some reason it does not always load on the first click. The first image opens in the same window on a blank page.

When I refresh the browser it seems to work ok. Is there something wrong wth my html code when I create the link? Or maybe the browser?

I am a photographer and would love to display my images this way so I appreciate your help.

FB crashed my older IE, but I like it too much to care. Hopefully people are using newer browsers. I am not very good with script but I will try to tweek it a bit. Thx
