Compatibility notes
Known issues and restrictions
-
The Image Serving modifiers from iscommands
are not added to the req=set
request by design. Modifiers that only affect image display work fine. Modifiers affecting size must be used in a complex asset. For example,
https://s7d9.scene7.com/s7viewers/html5/BasicZoomViewer.html?asset= {Scene7SharedAssets/Backpack_B?extendn=0.5%252C0.5%252C0.5%252C0.5}
-
[Flyout] IE9 sometimes remains on screen after mouse off.
-
Browser scaling leads to wrong resizing.
-
iPad 2: Large eCatalog assets crash Safari on iOS.
-
All Viewers
- Watermarks, obfuscation, and locking are not supported.
- Image presets are not supported.
- Adding or removing viewer from the DOM using
display:none
CSS or by dynamically detaching it from the parent node is not currently supported.
-
HTML5 All Viewers
- Embedding viewer in table may result in incorrect sizing or placement of viewer in non-native fullscreen mode. Suggest using DIVs instead.
- Parameters with explicit instance names in the code require instance names in the URL as well to be overwritten (for example,
zoomView.iconfeffect=0
).
- Image Serving command crop is not currently supported.

iscommands
modifier does not support Image Serving modifiers that affect image size.
