FAQ
QHow do you change the size of the grey window?
- The size of your large image.
- The size of your small image.
- The size of the zoomed area to the right.
Q What size should my images be?
A A small image size of 250-300px works well with a large image size of 750-1000px. The blue bike example above uses a small image width of 320px and a large image width of 974px.
Q Why has my dropdown menu started flickering?
A If you use a dropdown menu, it needs to have some code to combat an IE bug. This bug is sometimes seen after you install Magic Zoom™, though it is actually caused by the dropdown menu. To fix it, you need to delay the execution of the "mouseout" behaviour of your menu for 20-100ms.
Q A Flash object is on top of the zoomed image.
- Add <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> inside the <object></object>.
- If the <embed> tag is present, add this attribute to it: wmode="transparent".
- Your code will look something like this:
<object>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed wmode="transparent" />
</object>
Q Where can I find mz-packed.js?
A The file mz-packed.js (previously lz-packed.js) has been renamed magiczoom.js. It is the JavaScript file which comes bundled with Magic Zoom™. To get it, purchase Magic Zoom™ or download the free trial version.
Q Why is there an error in IE8 strict mode?
A If you use a .png fix for the IE6 browser, it might cause a JavaScript error when viewing in IE8 strict (not compatibility mode). To stop the error, move the .png fix into an IE6 override file, starting with <!--[if IE 6]>.
