Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[drhiii]

I've poked around a great deal and I am not 100% comfortable knowing where the problem really lies. A WC3 Validator shows lots of errors that are coming out of files like attributes.php, but I am not sure this is really the whole story. Not beng a coder, I can't make qualitative judgements on it. Have been trying to get some interest from other smarter folks to be able to comment on this because it is a real problem. I will continue to try and understand what is going on, but for the moment, we need to keep asking for help until the calvary arrives.

Lightbox or Slimbox + Flash on site = NO NO, you will get Operation Aborted on IE

I installed a straight up ZenCart site with no addons except for the Gallery2 Bridge. It does not do anything with Java, just pulls the images from the Gallery2 repository site. And I get the I.E. failures. This is what is so perplexing. A straight ZC install works, but the bridge introduces these abberations. Sigh...

I didn't have flash on my site when I was getting the aborted problem. I still don't!

I don't think I've flash on my site either.
Just used the Developers Tool Kit. Only flash i can find is from jscript_zen_lightbox.php

I am not sure what is conflicting with IE but I've solved the issue of product page unable to load by deleting this file:
\includes\modules\pages\product_info\jscript_zen_lightbox.php

Now my website uploads in IE but Lightbox is disabled/not working.

I compared the different pages (product page vs catalog page) and the difference i found was the above code. Once the above code was taken out, the product page loads fine but without the functions of Lightbox. I really like the Lightbox function and I hope that someone can look into the above code and see if it is IE compatible. Thanks!

Hm, that's interesting. I may try to remove it and see what happens. I can't even get the image attributes to display with this Gallery2 bridge in place. Thought that was very odd. But will give this a shot.

Is too bad about Lightbox too. That is a nice thing. Dunno how many times Microstuff and I.E. have raised their ugly head and bt me in the arse.
