IE5 Web Accessories with IE6
Mary A. Rice
Hi,
MS Internet Explorer 5 Web Accessories have not worked on my
system since I installed IE 6. My Google searches have indicated
that although MS says the web accessories won't work with IE6, a
large number of users contend that it does still work.
I have two questions:
First--I want to know how (or if) I can make MS Internet Explorer
5 Web Accessories work with IE 6?
Second Question--If I can't make it work with my system, can I
safely uninstall "MS Internet Explorer 5 Web Accessories" by
using the Control Panel's "Add/Remove Programs" (without
affecting the stability of my IE6 browser)?
I'm running Win98FE (fully updated)
Thanks for reading this post and any help.

It works fine in IE6 except that you'll need to do an F5 Refresh on the blank page that the Images List click brings up to finally get them. Thorsten Gudera has created both German and English "corrected" Versions of imglist.htm which fix this. You can contact him here: Thorsten.GuderaATt-online.de (replace AT with @ sign). For Toggle Images (which you'll find on your Links toolbar), remember that you'll have to refresh after toggling to see the effects on the current page. (BTW, if you place a shortcut to it on your Quick Launch toolbar or wherever, you can also use it to prevent spam HTML emails from "calling home".)
Be aware also that there is a bug in the Zoom functions. The following is a (modified)
quote of a previous posting by Alan Edwards of a previous quote by Ron
Vernon which outlines the fix: Regards, Jim Byrd
"I have not checked recently if the error has been corrected.
Without looking at your attachments, I assume you have made
adjustments like this old post by Ron Vernon MVP, which I made myself.

This is a bug in the web accessories.
To fix it, use Notepad to open ZOOMIN.HTM (found usually in
WINDOWS\WEB ),
and edit it to read both image dimensions before setting any of them:
old contents:
...
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
...
new contents (the 3rd line in the fragment above moved up):
...
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
...
Do the same for ZOOMOUT.HTM changing '*' to a '/'
.
