Will need to hack the drop and drop code but other than that it’s a good solution to solve our problem, well done. Need to determine its application on eCommerce websites, something to think about.

Thank you for your quick answer 🙂
I had not thought of the the aspect ratio between the two images but it sounds very logical and I am sure that will fix the problem.
Thank you again for your help and a great script!

Hi Katherine,

The two images in your example are not quite the same aspect ratio.

The small image is 310 by 433 pixels. 310/433 = 0.72.
The large image is 1785 by 2895 pixels. 1785/2895 = 0.62.

I think that is causing the problem. The script is scaling coordinates from the small image, assuming that the height and width of the large image are in the same ratio as the small image. I would suggest replacing the small image with one that is a scaled copy of the large image. That might fix the problem.

Hello,
A really great Ipad compatible script! Thank you for sharing it :o)
I am bumping in only one little problem I do not seem able to fix. When the zoom is turned on, it only shows 2/3 of the length of the large image. What should I do to correct this?
Thanks again,
Katherine

Hi Joy, I think simpleviewer uses Flash to display Flickr images, so it wouldn’t work with this javascript.

Great code! Could this be implemented with something like simpleviewer that I use to display my flickr images on the website?

Hi Jennifer,

It’s hard to say without seeing an example. Does my example above work in IE for you?

Mine isn’t working IE. I’m assuming I zigged when I should have zagged. Thoughts?

That’s very cool I like it. Don’t know where I’d use it just yet, but I’m sure I’ll think of something 🙂 Very cool.
