customizing, javascript, cool, user javascript

This time I have a really simple script, which I did long time ago. But, it's very useful nonetheless.
How many times did you go image galleries, and had to flip through links, ads and poor page design to browse the gallery?
Unfortunately that's quite common. But, it's also quite common for pictures to be numbered sequentially.
For these cases I have the following solution:

The script adds that small menu, only visible if hovered (so it won't cover the image), and the keyboard also works. n goes to the next, p to the previous.
So, if you like the idea, download the script from
xerath-gallery-next.js

Have fun !

EDIT (03-June-2009): I did a small update because images were dissapearing sometimes in imageshack. You may re-fetch the script

for heavy duty postersa better quicktime

I wish Fast Forward & Rewind buttons could do it. But still, good job João.

Did a small update, check blog post

Well, maybe it's me, but this one is not working well also...
When it pops, it's like no CSS is read, and it justs puts two "regular" links above images with "<Prev" and "Next>", but not it the upper left corner...

See here.

weird... do you have some user css, small screen or other user js interfering ?

cycyx # 26. August 2009, 09:40

Good question. Maybe. I've disabled flashblock CSS, not using small screen, and have a bunch of user.js, but can't tell you if one is interfering...
I've just tried to remove all but your UserJS to no avail: same thing as in previous screenshot (and same thing for the Blender gallery for example).
Using 9.64/(Windows|Linux) with different skins on each setup.
