[OU] Larger image disappears south of screen

[Harry Lake]

Looking at
http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9780425180693/The-Oxford-Essential-Dictionary-of-the-U.S.-Military

precisely because of the amazing fact that this book exists (and
don't any of you dare buy the last copy, if you get there before me!)
I found this page and clicked on the 'Larger image' link. This
'larger image' (I assume that is what it is) has parked itself out of
sight under the screen. I can see the top of the frame, but not the
image. Scrolling down simply makes it jump downwards. It is as if it
were shy of the light, which perhaps it is, come to think of it...

Anyone confirm, or have another, perhaps better, experience?

I can confirm that the larger image ends up mostly off the
screen at the very bottom. However, at the top of the larger
image window, in the portion that is visible, I see the word
"drag". You can put the mouse there and drag the window by
moving the mouse. You don't even need to click on it, just hover
the mouse over the word "drag". Do you see that or is that off
the screen for you too?

It looks like some poorly-written JavaScript code on their site may be
causing this.

Clicking the link displays a small overlay on top of the main page that
contains the larger image, plus a "control" in the upper left corner
labeled "Drag" and another "control" in upper right corner that look like
an "X". Click and hold on that "Drag" control and you can reposition the
overlaid image.

James, it seems to me to be some time since I saw your name here (but
maybe that's just my memory!), but that's why I'm giving you the main
kudos here (why should Katrina get it all just because she's our
usual saviour?) - plus the fact that you suggest a reason!

On the other hand, Katrina writes 'Do you see that or is that off the
screen for you too?' and in so doing she too hits the nail on the
head because my answer is 'No, I don't, and yes, it is'.

Does it make the problem more, or less, curious, if I now tell you
that /now/ I see what you two see - and can accordingly drag the
image to where I can see the whole thing!? I should add straight away
that I have not closed down and restarted the computer in the
meanwhile. The whole thing is a mystery. Not being a believer in God
(despite, as you see, using a capital), I can only attribute this to
a gremlin (note lack of capital) in my computer... (Of course, it's
still entirely possible that this was an act of God... The fact that
I don't believe in God doesn't mean God doesn't exist.) (I'm trying
to cover what I believe is called 'all bases'...)

All very odd, but that gets no one anywhere so let's all just forget
about it, shall we? :-)

By God, it works fine in Chrome.

For me, it works fine in Chrome. In Opera ( v 10.51/WinXP ) if I use <open
in new tab>,
I can see a the larger view ( jpg ). Otherwise, even though my cursor
changes
and a URL shows in the progress bar, I do not get the expected larger image.

If you have fit to width turned on, try turning that off. I
meant to mention that in my earlier reply, but forgot. When I
tried turning on fit to width, the large image window
disappeared completely.

If you cannot see the Drag symbol, try using full screen mode.

I neverrealized there was a *Dictionary* of the US Military - let alone an
Essential one! :-))

The first time I clicked on the link today, the larger image opened
on a new page all by itself, with no frame. I tried to do this a
second time without success.

If there's one thing that's clear, it is that Opera gives a whole
range of results varying from moment to moment and from place to place!
