After initialisation everything is shifted to the right

[DizzyBHigh]

Hi there.

Love the slider but am having an issue.

i can set the start panel to 3 but if i do that the indicator of what panel am on is the 3rd one along (this is indeed the correct behaviour)

I would like the first slide to be displayed in the middle (startpanel set to 1) with the indicator showing as the first slide.

when i do this the last panel; is shown bu the selected panel is posistioned too the right, so it gives the effect of their only being 2 panels at the start...

you can see what i mean here (sorry i dont really know how to create this in jsfiddle)

Hello DizzyBHigh.

As I understand you want to make an infinite slider?

Something like this:

You can just set the 'wrap' parameter to 'true'.

hi i have the wrap parameter set to true, and if i click the arrows it is infinite.

just on initialisation when the start panel parameter is set to 1 the last slide appears in the middle (on he small state)
and the 1st panel appears to the right, large version , with no panel before on the left (it shows 3 panels at a time)
I am assuming the 3rd panel is actually showing but it is hidden as the whole thing when loaded appears shifted to the right.

Did you look at the link i gave you?

Actually I was just looking at this. I think the reason the panels are off is because the img inside the panel has a set width which is slightly bigger than the panel size. The panels are set at 192px in width while the image inside is set to 200px. If you increase the panel size to 200px it should fix the problem.

hmmm i had a look in the css, and there is no width set for the panel.
i added a width to this and still no change:

the css is currently like this and still no change...

/*** Slider panel ***/
.mb-slider .mb-panel {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 2px;
    display: block;
    cursor: pointer;
    float: left;
    list-style: none;
    text-align:center;
    width:200px;
}

/* Cursor to arrow over current panel, pointer for all others,
change .current class name using plugin option, currentPanel : 'current' */
.mb-slider .mb-panel.current {
    cursor: auto;
    padding: 0px;
    border:2px solid #146bab;
    -webkit-border-radius: 7px;
    -moz-border-radius: 7px;
    border-radius: 7px;
    background-color:#ffffff;
    text-align:center;
    margin:0 20px;
    height:auto;
}

i had assumed the panel size was calculated by the script somehow as in the css there is no width set, that still i dont think would explain that once the arrow is clicked to go forward, then clicked to go back everything displays as it should....

i think i read somewhere there was a parameter in the options too set the panel dimensions, but it said this was now depreceated.

I tried changing all the image widths to 150 but it the issue is still there...

Line 139 of this page has the width definition, it's just before the css file but probably overriding the changes you made because of css specificity:

#slider li {
    width: 192px;
}

Hi Mottie, sorry for being a pain am still not there.
I tried removing this declaration, and still no change, ive been looking at it with firebug, and think the issue is here on the ul for the slider:

Its adding padding-left of 122px, which is pushing everything to the right, how do i get rid of this?
its not defined in the css anywhere from what i can see...

EDIT*
ok i seem to have fixed the issue by commenting out line: 193 of jquery.movingboxes.js

// add padding so scrollLeft = 0 centers the left-most panel (needed because scrollLeft cannot be < 0)
//'padding-left' : (base.width - base.curWidth) / 2

Oh that's what you meant! LOL... that's the line that makes the first panel center itself in the window because there isn't a panel on the left. It doesn't seem that is what you were describing initially. So this issue has been resolved?
