Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Andy Short (sh0rtie) Assigned to: Richard Bennett (richard_bennett) Summary: dimensions patch for IE6 using doctypes Initial Comment: When looking for the bodys width/height in IE6 using: DynAPI.document.getWidth() DynAPI.document.getHeight() if the document has a valid doctype either XHTML or 4 + IE6 runs in a CSS1 compatible strict mode when certain doctypes are present. In that case the documentElement represents the canvas, not the body element therefore findimensions() was returning 0 using this.doc.body.clientHeight and a strict/xhtml doctype added a check for wether the document was in strictmode or not and used this.doc.documentElement.clientHeight basically if you write HTML or XHTML using doctypes and you use the documents body's width/height in your code you will need this for correct display in IE6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2002-08-11 04:23 Message: Logged In: NO The Alert box reads: document.body.clientHeight = 438 document.compatMode = undefined document.documentElement.clientHeight = undefined Using IE 5.2.1 for Mac OS X 10.1.5 on an iMac at 800 x 600 screen resolution ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Max Nokhrin (mno) Date: 2002-01-22 15:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=373738 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! There is also a bug in IE6 that returned an incorrect clientHeight and clientWidth. Your file fixes that error! Thank you very much! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: martin ström (marstr) Date: 2001-11-12 02:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=46384 if this.strict could test for mozilla's strict mode aswell i think this would be the best. can't we use the test you had on http://www.richardinfo.com/case_studies/doctypes.html to detect which mode ie5mac, ie6 or mozilla is in? and add this to browser.js ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Bennett (richard_bennett) Date: 2001-11-05 15:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=164855 Thanks for testing that. <<i think a is.strict is best while other browsers <<go into strict mode aswell, and then we can use <<is.strict to identify different modes. That would mean we would have to do if (is.strict&&is.IE6) Is that the best way? Bear in mind that the code to test for strict mode in IE5/Mac, and Mozilla is a lot more involved than for IE6. Should we add all that in now, or just the IE6 part to start with? Also, I noticed that HEX colors have to be started with the # sign, or they don't show in IE6 Strict mode. Something else to keep in mind. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: martin ström (marstr) Date: 2001-11-05 09:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=46384 i've tested on mac ie5: document.body.clientHeight = 466 document.compatMode = undefined document.documentElement.clientHeight = undefined which leads to this is ie6 only. i think a is.strict is best while other browsers go into strict mode aswell, and then we can use is.strict to identify different modes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Andy Short (sh0rtie) Date: 2001-11-05 08:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=176079 With regard to the strict mode on a mac, not having access to a mac i couldnt test this behaviour in ie5 , i believe this behaviour only applies to ie6. re the check, i put the check within the dyndocument to try and keep the change to one file, it might be worth adding this check to the browser.js and use if(is.ie6strict) method as mozilla isnt affected and believed ie5 on a mac isnt either, tho this should really be confirmed before committing these changes to the cvs. thanks ... sh0rtie ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Bennett (richard_bennett) Date: 2001-11-04 15:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=164855 Hi, Have you any idea if IE5/MAC has the same difference when running under "strict" mode? I added a test for this in the /tests directory in CVS, here: <wrap> http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi- bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/dynapi/dynapi/tests/doctype_clien tHeight.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html </wrap> Wouldn't it be best to do the doctype-sniffing in browser.js? If so, like this: if(is.strict&&is.IE6) or like this? : if(is.IE6Strict)?
