Hi,

Liked this and thought to ask : Can his be used for text magnification as well?

Hi,

Great tool thanks for you effort. Found bug for disappearing images that are square. Simple fix is to change line 66
from
if (this.width() > this.height()) {
to
if (this.width() >= this.height()) {

Hope this helps someone with the same problem.

Thanks.

Huy,
I have incorporated your magnifier Jquery in my application. Its running fine also in few cases.
But when some event happens or if Image (which i want to zoom) is changed, The Image never get loaded on th page. This behaviour is random.
Please help. If I could see the image i know the magnifier will work properly

Awesome, really amazing. Works like the Flash one, but no need to use Flash which is a good thing in my reckoning!

great script. I found the movement to be off target though. i replaced the lines setting zoomImage.css with the following to fix this:

left:((e.pageX – thumbImageOffsetX) / sensorWidth) * -((zoomImageWidth ) ) + zoomImageContainerWidth/2,
top:((e.pageY – thumbImageOffsetY) / sensorHeight) * -(zoomImageHeight) + zoomImageContainerHeight/2

Now it is perfect for me. thanks

Hello Huy, Demo is cool but not working in my environment. Does it work with jQuery 1.3.2 ?

Nice plug in but it goes wrong quite quickly if either a) there are lot of images in a scrollable error b) you rapidly move the mouse out of the magnify area. Both cases leave the magnified area viewable but the mouse it no longer in the picture.

Is there anyway to give magnify effect for the entire web page including text..

The more I use jQuery, the more I like it! Until now, I’d limited my use of effects (eye candy) to some basic fades. On a new website I’m working on, the designer wants more pizazz so I’ve been playing with some of the jQuery UI tools, namely the Magnifier which produces a fisheye lens effect similar to Apple’s Dock (OS X or later). In short, a line of icons is magnified, as if a fisheye lens were passing over it, as the user moves their mouse near the icons. Beyond looking cool, the effect is a bonus for usability — at least for the average user.

Odd…whenever I try to use this it just seems to make my images disappear. I guess the hide is working They just never get show again. Any ideas?

BTW I love your approach to this. Yes there are other zooms out there, but none as elegant looking.
