Hi there,

I have a need for an image resizing tool in IE6 similar to
the the Web Accessories 'Zoom In' tool available for
IE5.x. Evidently the Zoom In function only works if you
upgrade to IE6 from IE5, but not on a clean install or IE6.

I'm using IE6 and Windows 2k.

Is there a similar tool for IE6.

Thanks,

Mike W.
 
Hi Mike - 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

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I don't know what the problem is then. My IT guy
has 'installed' web accessories twice now and it hasn't
taken.

Could it be a user specific thing? He logs me off and logs
back on as Administrator when he tries to install WA. I
didn't see him test it in his settings, so I don't know if
that's it or not.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Mike W.

Hi Mike - He (you) should install it under your account. It doesn't need
Admin privileges to install IIRC unless they've blocked all installs by
other than Admin(s) in poilicies, in which case he can Install As the Admin,
but in your account..

Hi Jim.

I have the same problem as Mike, it is not showing all the features claimed
to do. The only thing I have is "Add to restricted and Add to trusted" but
that's all. There is no ZoomIn or ZoomOut option even though I downloaded
those two you provided earlier. There is no Text Highlighter, no quick
search in Links, there is no Toggle Images in Links, despite installing it
two times.

Is there something I have missed, can't even find it in any folder, just the
installation program.
Have BTW IE 6.0, Win98 but also Spybot S&D with the IE immunized, can it be
because of that? But not likely it added the options to send to restricted
or trusted zones, but thats all.

Regards / Gunilla.

Hi Gunilla - Two different things. What you've got installed is another
(different) accessory called the Power Tweaks Web Accessories. See here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/default.asp This
one is useful also, but if you want the zoom stuff, download from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/ie5wa.asp and make
the changes as I previously outlined.

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

In Mike W <[email protected]> typed:
Hi there,

I have a need for an image resizing tool in IE6 similar to
the the Web Accessories 'Zoom In' tool available for
IE5.x. Evidently the Zoom In function only works if you
upgrade to IE6 from IE5, but not on a clean install or IE6.

I'm using IE6 and Windows 2k.

Is there a similar tool for IE6.

Thanks,

Mike W.
