Hi... Your script is awesomeness. Totally cool.

I'm having some trouble using the "tap-image-go-to-URL" version of the code. Using my laptop, clicking on an image in the carousel launches a new page as expected, but--when hovering the mouse near the bottom of the page--the nav bar is not re-invoked...does not pop back up once it fades out. Of course, with this version of the code, if you click anywhere in the carousel, it takes the user directly to the data-related-URL (i.e., opens a new tab in the browser). BUT: is there a way to give people a choice--either an option to invoke the nav bar (on hover or via a click near the bottom of the screen)...OR...to allow the user to go to the URL / new tab? Again, to clarify, presently, when clicking anywhere in the carousel with this tap-image-go-to-URL version of the code, it simultaneously invokes the nav bar AND puts the user in a new tab / page...out of the carousel...so that the nav bars appearance to them isn't something they can use anyway until returning to the tab with the carousel. Doesn't give the user the choice to advance in the carousel OR visit the data-related-URL attached to any image.

FYI: I can't get this version of the code to work in Maxthon (one of the most popular browsers in China)...which I think uses a WebKit rendering engine. Something to think about...
