Can't get it to work in my theme in IE6

Did you visit the settings page for the module and try configuring it to work with your theme?

Technically that's incorrect. The module adds two anchor tags to the page with image backgrounds, not a single image with both buttons. I'll have to check this out at the office tomorrow on a PC so that I can see it in Internet Explorer. I'll keep you posted.

Well, I can't tell exactly what the issue is with your theme in IE6. I tried investigating using the IE Developer Toolbar in IE6 but I didn't see anything standing out as the problem. I can definitely tell you that the module does work correctly in IE6 in other themes though (see the example site: www.jones.com). Maybe IE6 doesn't like it when you use the BODY tag? I haven't tested that yet. You could try switching the "scope" to the #main div on your page and see what happens.

No activity for two weeks. Closing issue.

In IE, I can't use the icons at all. If I click one, the page turns into a giant abstract painting. There's no way to recover other than closing the browser and starting over. I've changed my font sizes to em instead of % -- nothing works, really.

Reposting - forgot to re-open the issue.

Do you have a link to your site that we can see?

Wish I could, but it's under wraps for now during the development phase. All I can suggest is that you test IE / Newsflash and see if you can replicate. If not, then it might have something to do with the tweaks I've made in the stylesheet ... but if memory serves, this was a problem out of the box.

The Newsflash theme specifically has been tested previously. I know I had it working for my test site with that theme (see issue: #348775: 6x not working for Newsflash theme).

Did you try it with 1.1? That's the version I'm running currently. (I do need to upgrade, but first need to be sure we can use this at all.)

According to the other issue, I was using Newsflash 6.x-1.6 2008-Sep-09. And the change that was required for it to work with Newsflash went into Text Resize version 1.1

No further communication in two months. Closing issue.

I found out that the module does not work in IE when the target element for resizing has "font-size:" expressed in "%".
Like in Framework theme.

So I overrode this CSS rule with a safer "font-size: 0.85em" and everything is fine, no patches needed or whatsoever.

This line is the culprit:

var currentFontSize = parseFloat(element_to_resize.css('font-size'), 10);

element_to_resize.css('font-size') return a very high value (greater than 800px), and it seems more the width of the element than the font size, because it changes if I resize the window!!!
But if font-size is specified in px or em, as mentioned above, the same function returns the correct value.

I am having the same problem only on IE using the text resize module. All other browsers are responding correctly.

At our site build for people with sight loss, when clicking on the "small size" button for the first time, the user is presented with text that is set at a very large value on IE. Then if they click on any other button, the problem is solved and everything works correctly, the "small text button" works properly after the initial click.

However, when reloading the screen, the same bug appears when you hit the small text button for the very first time and the font is huge. This error only occurs on the initial click and only when using the small text size button in IE???? Aaargggh....

This is the last hurdle before we launch our beta site and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and efforts.

I have fixed my original IE problem above by removing the "reset" button. It seems the bug was in the code set for the re-set.

However, my only problem left is that when you first use the resize buttons, the cookie does not "Drop" and store your settings so that when you navigate to another page, the settings are lost.

Then when you use the text resize on another page the second time, the cookie is enabled and it works fine when traveling from page to page.

The bug seem to be that the initial clicking of the text resize takes two different tries before the setting is saved? any help?

Thanks!

@A Pedersen: Sounds like a valid issue. Could you please open a new one instead of reopening this one and changing the title?
