Hi. A common need in the carousel is to be able to display the image with a little of the one before and after showing on each side and have them scroll so that behavior continues (on the first, you sitt a little of the last on the left and on the last you see a little of the first in the cycle when they are circular carousels.

We have gotten that to work fine in jCarousel lite, jMyCarousel and jCarousel but they also have bugs that kill us. If you need a visual of what I mean follow the links below.

We need up to 26 images in the carousel (number of images is what breaks jMyCarousel and jCarousel lite and in lite there is also a display issue.)

In rcarousel I can not find a way to display the images on the sides. Is it possible? If so how? If not, any chance you might add it?

We have set up jcarouselLite and it does what we need except for 2 bugs. I have put up demos of the problems at

The first shows that, when you hit the end of the items in the scroll, the last element does not display. When you click on it again it scrolls into the center and everything is fine. You also get a similar behavior if you load the page and just start of using the left side button.

The second problem is that if you load a certain number of images (I don't know what the break point is but it is below the 26 we need) then after you scroll for a bit the scroll starts to go crazy and scroll whole bunches of images (on the 18th click in the one here) and does the same on the second click on the left side. After it breaks, if you keep going it will return to normal after a while but no user is ever going to get that far. Might help you figure what the issue is though.

BTW, if you want to see the same behavior in jMyCarousel (the too many images scrolls crazily) here is a link.
