can't figure out how to turn off captions

AliasJaneDoe

I'm modifying a gallery that has captions displayed along with the images, but I want to turn those off entirely. I just can't figure out how. Best I could manage was setting their font color to my background color and font size to 0. However, they still say "undefined" when you leave the mouse over the thumbnails (undefined because I didn't enter any captions).

Here's a test page I uploaded:

You should be able to view all my source. Although godaddy seems to be having some problems right now. If the link doesn't work, let me know and I'll paste all my code.

Can't see any captions, or JS errors.

Like I said, I'd turned them to font color black, same as my background. I've switched them to white so they show up now. I want them gone, not just hidden (because I want to use a patterned background, and I don't want them showing when the thumbnails are hovered over).

By the look of it, kill the following line in galleria.js:

_wrapper.siblings('.caption').text(_thumb.attr('title'));

This part might be of interest:

// add the title attribute
thumb.attr('title',title);

Might try something like:

if(_title !=undefined){
_thumb.attr('title',_title);
} else {
_thumb.attr('title','');
}

And this might be where it adds the caption (should be fixed from the above but if not a similar thing might work):

// insert the caption
wrapper.siblings('.caption').text(thumb.attr('title'));

I tried that before. Deleting that line makes the thumbnail scroll stop working.

Adding that seems to do nothing. scratches head

update:

I managed to kill the numbers in the caption with

$('.caption').text($('.caption').text().substring(2));

before
return false;
in mycarousel_initCallback function

And putting just a space as the caption rather than leaving it blank makes it stop saying "undefined". However, when the mouse pointer is over a thumbnail, it still shows the number (with a space after it). Is there maybe a way to just turn off all the hover pop-up text stuff on all the images on a page?

Actually, I was wrong, that code didn't kill the numbers from the captions entirely. There are still ":" on the images after ten.

edit: more messing with the code seems to have killed the rest of the colons, but the pesky numbers on the thumbnail hovers remain
