What do you think of my new zoom feature

[wwwww]

Markn: Does nothing happen when you use the wheel on the obverse or does it get stuck loading?

It got stuck loading.  I cannot see the loading text at all when it is loading.  I've just a reload of the page and it seems to be working now.  I still cannot see the loading text.  It might be there and just be lost in background of the coin?

PS

Very slick by the way Walter.  How good is the cross browser detection of the mousewheel in javascript?

Thanks. I've tested on Firefox and Internet Explorer without problems, my build (it's an older one) of Chrome seems to call the wheel event twice everytime I use it which makes 10x unusable - it just skips it.

I think it just took a long time to load and the 2nd time it was in the cache already. If you're experiencing the same problems I do with Chrome it probably jumped straight to 20x, hence the long load time.

Can you see the loading animation? Is it just the text that's missing?

I can't really see anything to indicate loading is happening.

I use Chrome & it running perfectly on all coins i looked at.
Excellent  Walter !  :ok:

Fordprefect: Can you try zooming in on one coin, leaving the page, waiting for a minute or so, then going back to the same coin to see if it works.

Tried exit and return to page, exit site and return no go.

Loaded Microsoft Std wheel mouse driver, All systems go :wavemulticolor:

The other mouse driver was a Generic HID supplied by Acer.

Hi Walter,
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I've noticed you've made improvements to this recently, where the coins now come up in smaller sections and the zoomed section loads before the rest.

Bravo! nice work!

Works well with me. I'm using IE8.

As mentioned in a previous post, are you concerned that the hi-res images might show imperfections that might deter collectors?

I think the zoom feature is great; it gives a high detailed image of the coin that shows it in its entirety.
Brilliant and honest feature that can only enhance the sales of the coins.

In my opinion this feature gives a collector the opportunity to study the coin better and can only enhance the saleability of the coin.
It installs a sense of trust in the seller because of the no frills and honest presentation of the coin.
Well done Walter.
BRAVO :good:

Yeah, sending the full image made it too slow. This partitioned system seems more efficient.

I think most bidders will realise the level of magnification offered when noting imperfections, either way I put the scale so that collectors can get a good idea of the size of defects.

Hi Walter,
Can see you've improved it once again.
Any way we can still get the photo to open in another tab ?
