Really great script! I really can't believe Flickr hasn't integrated this feature themselves... I made a couple of little tweaks that maybe you or someone else will find useful. Changed the XPath line to this so that the prev/next links come use the current "context" (photostream, set, pool, etc.):
var links = document.evaluate("//a[@class='currentContextLink']/ancestor::div[starts-with(@class,'ContextTop')]//a[@class='contextThumbLink']/@href", document, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);
Added a check in case it is the first or last picture in a group (forward and back point to the same place): // the second link is the next image URL var nextURL = links.iterateNext().value; // if there are only two links, then the second one was actually the link to the photostream if (links.iterateNext() == null) nextURL = previousURL; and added key.preventDefault() to prevent j and k from activating Firefox's "search as you type" deal: // go previous
if(unicode == left || unicode == j || unicode == d)
{
key.preventDefault();
this.location.href = previousURL;
}
// go next
if(unicode == right || unicode == k || unicode == f)
{
key.preventDefault();
this.location.href = nextURL;
}
Thanks! :) |

Was able to fix it for FF2 and FF3. Thanks for the feedback and if anyone else finds any issues, feel free to leave a comment. |

Can't this one to work on FF 2.0.0.17... I am running 8 other Flickr scripts though; one or more of them might be interfering with your script. But I turned off the other 7 scripts with only yours active and it still doesn't seem to work? |

There are several sites that allow keyboard navigation through images. FFFFound, Facebook, The Big Picture. I was surprised that flickr doesn't allow this and even more that no one had written a script to add this functionality. I set out to write one. Right now it only will flip through the photostream, but hope to add other functionality later. J or Right arrow keys will advance to the next photo, K and Left arrow key will advance to the previous image. |
