Image Handler 2 (for ZC v1.3.8 ONLY) Support

[scrap]

Microsoft released its Internet Explorer (ie9) today and I noticed straight away that it doesn't display IH2 hover effect correctly. Or, perhaps more correct, it seems to display the image hoover when a category is first loaded, but as soon as the page is scrolled the hover doesn't work any more.

Can anyone confirm? I've tried two more sites found in this thread and none is working with the image hover overlay.

A fix would be great!

Yep i can confirm its happening like you say, weird as i never noticed this error when using the RC version of IE9, but just tested it and it fails in there too.

There isn't a fix yet

However there is a hack, it hasn't been extensively tested, but it works for me

find your

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php

if you don't have that file copy the one from
includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php

find this section

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>" />
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo META_TAG_KEYWORDS; ?>" />
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo META_TAG_DESCRIPTION; ?>" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />

and add this

directly under it

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />

This tells IE9 to use the IE8 compatibility,

Ok I now have a proper fix, that seems to work so ignore the above, I am just testing it now in all browsers should have it sorted in an hour or so

Hey Nigel.. I was compiling a new IH2 update.. Pass over your fixes and I'll add them to the new submission..

Hi Diva

Testing has hit a snag, it works flawlessly on my Xampp server, but my public test zen install (the one i use to get other people to test their browsers on) will not work with any version of image handler at all, so having to rebuild it. (the zencart install, not the image handler fix)

Ok, Testers

go here

WAIT FOR THE PAGE TO COMPLETELY LOAD, then check the hover effect

I have tested in Vista

IE9
IE9 compatibility mode
Opera 11.01
Chrome 10.0.648.134
Firefox 3.6.13

Basically compatibility should be identical to the previous version, just IE9 should work correctly now

I just need to tidy the code up a bit, then i will flick it to you Diva

------------------------------------------
Edit: taking a while as my comp is on its last legs and keeps crashing

[nigelt74]

ok heres the code for anyone that wants to test it out

You rock dude!!! Will grab the code and add to the upcoming update..

Bear with me folks the changes in the new version are not at all CRITICAL.. They are simply a compilation of our dear Nigel's and nagelkruids posted tweaks/improvements.. PLUS I'm completely re-writing the IH2 readme.. (New format, more information etc..)

The current version (save the IE9 issues with the JS) is still perfectly fine to download and install..
