    Firstly, thank you for this plugin which I’ve enjoyed using. I’m currently working on a portfolio site and I’m interested in providing a fallback from the slideshows to wordpress galleries for users without javascript. I have a rather clunky version here.
    Code – inserted into a wordpress page – 

    <!-- JavaScript Content <!-- -->
<div id="slider" style="display: none;">[meteor_slideshow slideshow="text-drawing"]</div>
<script>// <![CDATA[
document.getElementById('slider').style.display='';
// ]]></script>
<!-- END JavaScript Content -->
<!-- Fallback Content -->
<noscript>
<div id="fallback">
[gallery columns="2" ids="1053,1052"]
</div>
</noscript>
<!-- END Fallback Content <!-- -->

    However I think that there’s probably a much neater way of doing this. I’d be grateful for any suggestions or pointers.

    Honestly, does anyone not use JavaScript any more? Meteor Slides should work fine without JavaScript though, have you tried styling the slide images differently when JavaScript is disabled to present them as a gallery?

    I think this would be simpler to implement and would require way less content management since you can use the same images for both views.

    Ah – so much simpler and so much better a solution! Thank you very much indeed!
    The stats still seem to say around 1% browse with js disabled so a fallback seems desirable where possible.

    No problem, let me know if you run into any issues styling the non-JS version of the slideshow.
