Page Shrinking

[neil@…]

I've found the weirdest bug - this page was previously working fine (for months), and still does work fine in all browsers except Chrome. However, when this page loads in Chrome the entire page shrinks until it's unreadable. I've checked on multiple versions of Chrome and it's the same, but it's a line of jQuery that causes the bug.

The page in question is:  http://www.thechurchgreen.co.uk/menus.aspx

The line that causes the page to shrink is: $('#menu_frame').load('/ChurchALC.htm');

I can comment that line out and the shrinking stops. I've spent hours trying to work this out and am getting precisely nowhere.

Can anyone help?!

Thanks,

Neil

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report.

This isn't a jQuery bug but a bug in Chrome and specifically it's PDF viewer/handling. Btw. you can also trigger this behavior by opening  http://jsfiddle.net/jitter/pcQrx/ (which just contains an iframe linking to a pdf. no javascript, no jquery).

A quick gooling turned up

Hopefully one of the links I provided or some other page you can find by searching the chrome bug tracker and/or on google (hint: iframe chrome pdf zoom) will help you to find a fix/workaround for this.

Brilliant, thanks for your help. I'd just stumbled on this, so others at least might get to the source of the problem quicker:  http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=65395
