A little help?

[astral276]

Just trying something new in my template and would appreciate a bit of feedback as to if it works in the real world.

Listing: http://uk.ebid.net/for-sale/test-auction-29253002.htm

Clicking on the image within the description should show a supersize image that automatically closes after 20 seconds.

Anyone care to check it works - and if it doesn't let me know the browser in use.

Note that the item is NOT for sale - so this isn't a plug.

Mel the picture in your template is already supersized when you click the picture it doesn't get any bigger

As Smiffy says and I tried it in IE8 too.

Hmmm... Odd.

Works for me using Firefox, Chrome, IE8, Opera and Safari. Either opening a 1600 x 1067 pixel image in a new window or tab depending on the browser.

While I appreciate you are all unlikely to have misunderstood - you are clicking on the image within the description (above where it says 'Click on the image above for a supersized image (auto-closes after 20 seconds).' and not on the eBid image, are you?

it does open.......but as a SMALLER image not a bigger image


I tell a lie.... it opens as a half size window... which makes it smaller... if you then open the window it does become bigger..... but it starts off bigger on the listing until you go to full size window (if you see what I mean)

Hmmm... Maybe I need to force the window size. Currently I am letting the user's browser handle it.

A quick edit of theJavascript later....any change?

Seemed to work fine for me on Firefox this am. Pic opens up in new window and then I have option to make it larger still or not. Then if I wait it will close or I can close it out myself and go back to original pic.

Works fine this time for me now, a lovely big clear picture.
