Hi Everyone,
I found this script that includes a scrolling thumbnail gallery. I only want the thumbnail part and i can make that work but i want to load some text in between each image. Is there a way to this? (My last resort is to turn the text into an image and load it thru xml like the other images but i don’t really want to do this.) Below is the script.
Thanks for your help!
