    I generally use firefox for all my web browsing.

    However, there is one web page that has a zoom feature that only works with IE.

    Perhaps someone here can help me enable it for firefox.

    The site is: http://www.gatewayguide.com/atis/index.html

    On the left hand side is a small map labled "Map Zoom Control"

    You should be able to click inside it and the large map to the right will zoom to that spot. I've never gotten it to work in firefox (Chrome either)

    Thank you.

    Hi

    Sadly looks like you may need to speak to the webmaster (developer) of that website as they dont have from the looks of it compatability for Firefox built in, I just tried it in Firefox to see if it was an Adobe Flash or Sun Java issue, but its not.

    Thank you for checking.

    The curious thing (to me) is that I believe it does work with Opera.

    Hi

    Indeed it does, I just checked now myself in Opera and works fine, this is likely due to the browser engines (core components of the browser) used and IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari all use different ways to display webpages, in part depends in a function used by a developer is active within a browsers engine.
