bug fixed: jCarousel width/height infinite loop popup alert error

PROBLEM: While loading, jCarousel spits out a popup alert with this error message:

"jCarousel: No width/height set for items. This will cause an infinite loop. Aborting..."

On this website, I use jCarousel for the "Lifestream" scroller on the front page tabs block. I would always get this error message every time the front page loads, regardless of the browser I use. I have been searching for a solution for many months and have finally found one.

SOLUTION: Not sure if this is really a solution or workaround, but it does the job of stopping the nagging popup box once and for all (while permitting jCarousel functionality).

1. Open jquery.jcarousel.pack.js in the ../jcarousel/lib/ directory.
2. Seach for the word "alert" and you should find a snippet of code like this:
   _{Aborting|loop|infinite|an|cause|will|This|items|set|No|jCarousel|alert|class|}
   
3. Replace "alert" with "isNan":
   _{Aborting|loop|infinite|an|cause|will|This|items|set|No|jCarousel|isNan|class|}
   
4. Refresh the webpage that loads jCarousel and you should no longer get the infinite loop popup error!
