Image list function returns an almost blank page

R

Robert M Jones

When I use the right click "Images List" function on a web page I get a
pop up with a first line "List of all images in <webpage title> but
otherwise blank.
The Links list functions fine.
I have tried "allowing popups" which were disallowed in my Google pop up
blocker but it makes no difference.

any ideas please?
IE6 SP1 updated. Win 98SE updated to date.

NAV Pro 2003, Zone Alarm free version

TIA

Problem went away. No idea why.

Hi Robert - This is my canned Web Accessories post, but it also addresses
your question (and some others :) )

It's called Web Accessories - you can get it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/ie5wa.asp

It works fine in IE6 except that you'll need to do an F5 Refresh on the
blank page that the Images List click brings up to finally get them.
Thorsten Gudera has created both German and English "corrected" Versions of
imglist.htm which fix this. You can contact him here:
Thorsten.GuderaATt-online.de (replace AT with @ sign). For Toggle Images
(which you'll find on your Links toolbar), remember that you'll have to
refresh after toggling to see the effects on the current page. (BTW, if you
place a shortcut to it on your Quick Launch toolbar or wherever, you can
also use it to prevent spam HTML emails from "calling home".)

Here's also a fix for "Copy Location" courtesy of a poster nicknamed Caveman
I've verified that this works fine for Win2kPro and should for any other OS
as well:

"Use Notepad to open GRABURL.HTM (found usually in WINDOWS\WEB), and edit as
shown below:

[FIND:]------------------------------------------------
document.all.location.value = win.document.location.href;
[REPLACE WITH:]----------------------------------------
document.all.location.value = win.location.href;
[END]

(so, the only thing to do is removing ".document" from the line)"


Be aware also that there is a bug in the Zoom functions. The following is a
(modified)
quote of a previous posting by Alan Edwards of a previous quote by Ron
Vernon which outlines the fix: Regards, Jim Byrd


"I have not checked recently if the error has been corrected.
Without looking at your attachments, I assume you have made
adjustments like this old post by Ron Vernon MVP, which I made myself.

This is a bug in the web accessories.

To fix it, use Notepad to open ZOOMIN.HTM (found usually in
WINDOWS\WEB ),
and edit it to read both image dimensions before setting any of them:

old contents:
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....

new contents (the 3rd line in the fragment above moved up):
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....

Do the same for ZOOMOUT.HTM changing '*' to a '/'
..

I've attached corrected versions of zoomout.htm and zoomin.htm since
they're fairly small. (If you have a firewall, they may get re-named
extensions - just change back to .htm) You can just place them in
\Windows\Web if you chose. Regards, Jim Byrd
