0.8.6c, firefox 3.5 and broken zoom

[jlg]

hi everyone, i'm just sharing this solution for anyone who might be stuck with an old version like mine for whatever reason and running into this problem.

PROBLEM:
after upgrading to firefox 3.5 from firefox 3.0.10, the zoom box would overlay a blue box that was obscuring the graph such that you could not see the data but you could still zoom.

CAUSE:
something was causing problems with "-moz-opacity", which ultimately caused the opacity for the overlay to be "1" instead of zero. and the zoomBox was also "1" instead of 0.5.

SOLUTION:
hack your graph.php to look like this for the indicated div ids:

Code: Select all

        <div id='zoomBox' style='position:absolute; overflow:none; left:0px; top:0px; width:0px; height:0px; visibility:visible; background:red; opacity:0.50; -moz-opacity:0.5; -khtml-opacity:0.5; filter:alpha(opacity=50)' ></div>
        <div id='zoomSensitiveZone' style='position:absolute; overflow:none; left:0px; top:0px; width:0px; height:0px; visibility:visible; cursor:crosshair; background:blue; opacity:0.00; -moz-opacity:0; -khtml-opacity:0; filter:alpha(opacity=0)' oncontextmenu='return false'></div>

CAVEATS:
it's possible that this will break browsers other than the ones that i tested which were: IE8, firefox 3.5, chrome 2.0.172.37.
