We have a website that currently serves drawings to users via the SVG Viewer plugin. We have one client that sees it through IE8. With IE8, when they do a Change Zoom Level on the browser to anything other then 100%, the viewer tries to occupy the new space and zooms correctly. However, when the user tries to manipulate the frames inside that bound the viewer (it’s a frameset website with the viewer being in the center) the entire site hangs. IE8 also shows that it takes up CPU cycles on the client computer, so it’s trying to do something but hitting a loop.
I don’t think this is actually our code and might just be something with SVG and how IE8 handles plugins and it’s zoom. Does anyone know if this is a real problem and if there’s a good solution?
I found out what the problem was. I thought it was the SVG viewer trying to do something with the frames, when it turned out that I was just setting the frameset’s initial size to the clientHeight and clientWidth, and then subtracting something from the height. That subtraction was a toolbar based in the frameset and, when you change the zoom level in the browser, there’s a lock up that can occur with you trying to pull a components size and the client’s size. At least, this is what I was seeing.
