Mobile IE - Zoom Feature

**lawmangrant** · #1 (**permalink**) 11-27-2008, 03:04 AM

Has anyone been able to figure out how to zoom in on webpages using Mobile IE 6?

I like the browser, more functional than other PIE's, but the small text is killing me!!

Microsoft documents say that it "supports multiple zoom levels" but doesn't tell me how!

Any help?

i use diamond tweak, theres a setting to scroll with the wheel in ie, not sure if thats exactly what you want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409540 op, i missed the zoom part of thread. my diamond not here now but im sure with the app. you can scroll up&down,not sure about zoom. opera is nice. skyfire also. http://get.skyfire.com/

Actually, I use that, and I believe that setting is for scrolling, and not zooming.

edit....just checked, and correct, scrolling is what the setting says, and that doesnt function with Mobile IE 6.

I do not like opera.
SkyFire is a little more my liking, but some sites I use (one for work), and orb use IE only, that's why I would like to get it working.

if you go to the right menu there is a zoom option, either zoom out or zoom in.

Correct, there is, but it doesn't zoom in enough.

Mobile IE 6 supports "multiple zoom levels" but I haven't figured them out.

are you talking about pocket ie 4 that ships with windows mobile 6.1 or the new pocket ie 6? i wasn't even aware pocket ie 6 was out yet.

edit: i see that it is out. nm my comments.
