Half a photo

[+greyhounder]

When I hold my mouse over picture icons in cache logs, only half of the picture (I think it is the left half) is being revealed. If I click on the link, then I can view the log and pictures. This is new -- past couple weeks. What is the fix for it?

 

Thanks,

Bec

All of us with Internet Explorer 7 (latest upgrade from Microsoft) are seeing that. Jeremy says he fixed the code but i think it must have reverted back after a system reset.

 

I still see 1/2 pictures too.

The fix is to uninstall IE 7. You can uninstall it and you will revert back to IE 6.

I too keep waiting for a fix for this. I'm surprised it's taking so long since Jeremy originally said it was fixed way back in mid-October.

Or use a 'real' browser...

[+michigansnorkelers]

Yeah, like FIREFOX. No problems.

Any progress? Can it be fixed once more?

Sure. Install Firefox and the problem will be fixed

A man breakes a leg. Give him crutches(stick/cane or whatever) so he can walk. That do not fix the problem.

Try to fix the problem. Bandaid does not fix the problem.

What is more broken:

 

The bad code displaying the picture wrong or the browser that ignores the bad code and displays the picture using its own values.

[+OienLabs]

The problem is still not fixed so i'll bump it.

[+StarBrand]

re-bump

[+OienLabs]

Still malfunctioning.

[+Gecko1]

Hopefully a patch will be released. For now, just click on the link.

[+Kalkendotters]

Bump

(still not working as it should)

[+Tprints]

(still not working as it should)

Same here.

No problems here: IE7 & Vista Ultimate

also on XP & FF

[+Road Rabbit]

re-bump

re-re-bump.

[+StarBrand]

Will this be fixed as part of the overall site re-code?

[+Miragee]

Hmmm . . . this works fine using the other "real" browser, Opera.

[+wesleykey]

I'm having this issue also with IE-7. SUggest this be fixed.

[+alexrudd]

Ask IE7 developers, then. The problem isn't with Groundspeak, it's with your browser.

Not true!!! - Jeremy at one time had spotted an error in the script code. Seems some browsers ignore the error and display the picture anyway. IE7 interprets the script literally and only shows something like 150 px - just what the script allows.

[+OienLabs]

This seems to me to be some complex use of 'standard'? style sheet, setting up this kind of showing picture with a frame. I have seen it at an other site as well. Failed there too.

[+Tprints]

Is there any new info at all on a fix for this? I really miss using this nice feature... and no, I'm not going to switch browsers. That's not the type of "fix" I'm looking for.

It's the browser that's broken, not the site code. We ARE telling you how to fix the problem.

My employer has installed IE 7 here at work. I can't undo or change this. If Groundspeak is not compatible with the most current browsers in popular use, then the feature should be removed.

My employer has installed IE 7 here at work...the feature should be removed.

Speaking of being removed, is that your boss looking over your shoulder?

 

I like Safari.

Removed? It's not causing you any harm, and it does benefit the rest of us. Why remove it??

[+Road Rabbit]

It’s a minor inconvenience (just two or three exhausting mouse clicks to see the whole picture for all you Jetsons out there), and not really worthy of debate.

 

I’m just curious to know if there is, indeed, a fix in the works.

Look back to post #4 of this thread. It was fixed last year but some subsequent update must have reverted the fix. So they know how to fix it... but...

 

I've heard that TPTB currently have a code freeze on the website until they resolve the site slowdown issues. Once that is done, I'm sure we'll see lots of other updates, including this one.

 

Patience, Grasshopper!

[+Tprints]

Any word on when this may be fixed again?

What I did was changing the end of line 161 in the walterzorn wz_tooltip.js script v.3.45

 

From:

style="background:'+t_bc+';"') : '')+' width="'+t_w+'">';

To:

style="background:'+t_bc+';"') : '')+'>';

And setting

var ttWidth	   = 2048;

instead of 300

 

And the prolem seems to be solved! (This must be done on the web site of course)

 

The more correct solution is setting the this.T_WIDTH property correct in the first place. (The default is 300 and is not set for the pics in the listing. For the pics in the logs today set to 110)

 

rgds.
