Hi,
I noticed a strange behavior in when a dialog box is opened having a
fixed size. In this example, the width of the popup window is set to 600
px and height 600 px.
When the popup is opened using a button, the size of the popup window in
IE (7, 8 and 9) is 640x684. Also, the frame size inside the popup is
626x594.
For the same case, in Mozilla Firefox and Chrome, the frame size opens
to be 600x600.
On analysis, I found that in the _sizeWin() method in Window.js, no
execution is done for Chrome and Firefox, since the body object is null.
...
var body = theWindow.document.body;
if (body)
{
...
...
}
}
But, in case of IE body object is not null, and newWidth and newHeight
are calculated and the window is resized to an this new size which seems
to be incorrect. Because of this part of the code, the popup window is
never opened in the size defined and IE behaves in a different way than
Friefox and Chrome.
I tried bypassing this entire code and checked the popup window size,
and found that without this code execution, the IE behaves in the same
way as Firefox and Chrome and opens a popup with frame size as defined
in the parameters.
My query was that is there a special reason that this calculation is
done for IE with Windows? Is the reason valid even in case of newer
versions of IE like IE8 and IE9?
Thanks and Regards,
Anshu
