650184 - Ebay's image loader lays out things poorly.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

If you go to the linked URL and click on the picture of the train, it will open a new window with a large version of the picture. 

Try right-clicking that image and accessing the "Save Image" menu item. It probably won't work if you're using Firefox. (IE reportedly does work, although maybe not in newer versions of it.)

Looking at the page in Firebug, as the page loads, it has some placeholder <div>s showing some status information. When the page finishes loading the image, it hides the placeholders and displays the image. 

But it isn't hiding the placeholder <div>s' parent <div>, which, according to Firefox's ordering, is on top of the image's <div>.

Deleting the placeholder's parent <div> in Firebug lets me right-click the image itself and choose the image-related context menu items.

Actual results: placeholder <divs> aren't completely hidden, so you can't get to the image itself.
Desired results: you can directly access the image because the placeholders are completely removed/hidden.





(Hopefully that item's page stays open/listed long enough to have people look at this, otherwise, any other item with an image on ebay should work.
