Overly wide div in Firefox 3

Hey,

Couldn't find a search feature for the forum so sorry if this already came up, but for some pages the content div is hugely wide, causing a horizontal scrollbar. This happens on
/Admin/SiteSettings.aspx
/Admin/ManageUsers.aspx
/Secure/UserProfile.aspx
to my knowledge.

It happens on Firefox 3 RC1, on windows xp and seems independent of skin.

Re: Overly wide div in Firefox 3

Hi,

The main search feature on the site searches everything including the forums. However, this isn't an issue I've heard of yet.

I'm using the official Firefox myself not the betas or RCs. Since it is only specific to Firefox 3, it sounds more like a bug to report to Mozilla rather than a mojoPortal bug. Hopefully it will be fixed before the final release of Firefox 3. If not I "may" consider it as a mojoPortal bug, but not sure it will be fixable without causing some unwanted side effect in FF 2, so ultimately it most likely is a Firefox bug.

Best,

Joe

Re: Overly wide div in Firefox 3

Hi,

I updated to Firefox 3 today and I saw the same problem you mentioned, the ExtJs Tab Panels were displaying too wide.

I still believe this is a bug in Firefox 3 because 100% width should not overflow its container. However I fouund a workaround.

If you add this in your style-ext-override.css file in your skin folder:

.exttabs { max-width: 800px; }

it will limit the width sufficiently for most skins, for a couple of them I had to use 750px or 740px

Best,

Joe

Re: Overly wide div in Firefox 3

I just installed MojoPortal at home.

I have it working with IE7 and MySQL database.

I am impressed with the speed. I also just downloaded FireFox 3. I needed something to test it on. Why not MojoPortal. I saw slower performance with FireFox and I saw the width problem. My initial reaction to FireFox 3 was : Underwelmed. I figured I will stay with IE7.

Today, I tried FireFox 3 and the speed was good. I will still test my work in IE7 and FireFox.

I put this fix in. After clicking the save button when I changed the skin, I still get the over lay wide problem.

Re: Overly wide div in Firefox 3

Maybe you didn't put it in the right location. There a re 2 locations where skins are stored. You need to edit the one for whichever skin you are using, located under /Data/Sites/1/skins, you may have edited the one(s) under Data/skins, those are not used by any site but are the library of skins used when creating new sites using mojoportal's mutli sites feature.

If you are working with the code in Visual Studio, you are better off getting the code from svn trunk as its more up to date. I've already fixed this in all the included skins in svn trunk for example.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Overly wide div in Firefox 3

I put it in the correct place. I only did this for two of the skins.

Let me describe the scenario.

Working with a skin with the 800px width fix. Screens are correct.

Change to skin without the fix, click Save button, over lay shows problem.

Return to fixed skin, click Safe button, over lay shows problem.

Click browser refresh button, overlay problem goes away.

Re: Overly wide div in Firefox 3

Apparently other people are also seeing this bug in Firefox.

"It seems that FF3 cannot stretch a div that has overflow auto to the full length of the content."

Re: Overly wide div in Firefox 3

When I first used Firefox 3, I was surprised at how slow it is. I have since found out that is only when I am testing on localhost.

In Firefox, I set the url to about:config. I set the network.dns.ipv4onlydomains to 'localhost' and now localhost is fast on Firefox.
