Hi
Does anyone know if Microsoft intends to fix its supremely broken zoom
feature in IE7? I'm referring to the fact that when you zoom pages in
IE7, everything is zoomed /except/ for images on the body element.
On sites that use body background images as part of the layout (the CSS
faux column technique for instance), things can get really ugly. (Try
this site: < http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ >)
Anyway, I have a few sites that fall foul of this bug, so I was
wondering: should I 'fix' them to get around IE7's zoom bug? Or should I
forget about it in the hope that MS will fix their crappy zoom feature
in the near future? Or should I forget about it on the grounds that not
many people will use the zoom feature anyway?
PS... There is a 'knowledge' base article talking about known problems
with IE7's zoom feature (curiously, though, it fails to list the very
unsubtle background image bug). The article's recommended solutions?
1. Don't zoom.
2. Disable the zoom feature with a registry hack.
They should add a third:
3. Don't use our abysmal browser.
