Huh?

 

[Sue J Thomas]

When I right click in order to see a larger picture or a larger
printed page, the ''zoom in' and zoom out settings do not
work after upgrading to sp2.
Maybe this is part of a 'power toy' from MSFT.

While Internet Explorer Web Accessories
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/ie5wa.mspx) are not
supported in IE6, let alone WinXP, most of 'em still work fine in WinXP
SP2...'cept for Zoom In/Zoom Out.

<whispering> ...but see

I have not checked recently if the error has been corrected.
See this old post by Ron Vernon MVP.

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.

Oh, thanks so very much! This worked!
Also, in the old zoomin(out).HTM files, there was a space
between the lines.
I do have to click right on the pictures, though, so cannot
zoom the whole page. Sometimes have to refresh the page
in order to re-establish it...
