Thumbnail slider breaking in thematic child theme based on context

I am using a thematic child theme. If I place:

<?php dynamic_content_gallery();// add Dynamic Content Gallery ?>

just before the_content() just after

The thumbnail slider breaks. I notice that the style property "left is set to 0"
when I place the gallery code just before the

everything works as expected.
you can see the broken version here… http://sandbox0.nks.net/
this seems to be a problem with the script that I cannot pinpoint.
It appears that it is not sizing the thumbnail slider correctly(too short) and so it will not slide so on some browsers the images wrap and on other the first image overlaps the second.
Any help would be appreciated. I am using the jquery version. and the 3.3.5 DCG

just to follow up I found what was breaking the thumbnail slider. In the thematic framework in the images.css
there is a style declaration:

.entry-content .wp-post-image {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
float:right;
margin: 0 0 20px 18px;
padding: 5px;
}

so when the DCG was placed within the post it was rendered within the div class="entry-content"
and the thumbnail images were being rendered with the class="wp-post-image" so all the thumbnails were being floated to the right causing them to appear in reverse order as well as to stack to the right. I was able to override this style by using a more specific rule:

#dfcg-slider .wp-post-image {
float:none;
}
perhaps this is something that you may consider in a future release of DFG

I hope this helps someone out.
If your having issues with DFG in a certain context check for cascading styles that my be throwing a monkey wrench into the works!

Cheers,
Keith

Good tip, Keith. Thanks for posting.

Unfortunately, I can't cater for all possible CSS styles in the thousands of themes out there. But I'll check to see if there is something simple I can do to avoid this kind of issue for themes which follow the WP standards.

I understand that you cannot cater to all themes. Just wanted people to know that your plugin works, but in some circumstances they may need to make some style changes :)
