Comment:
I've considered the changes in elementspath.css for a while, but they're
actually correct.
The way the element path bar occupies 100% of the bottom space makes it
extremely difficult to lay out other elements in the bottom bar correctly.
I've done extensive tests on that:
1. I can't use position: absolute in the bottom space for the other
element, because position: absolute does not work in <td>.
2. If I simply use float:right, most browsers would let the elements path
to occupy one very thin line and the resizer to occupy a whole line - thus
the bottom bar's height is modified.
3. IE6, on the other hand, would interpret the element path to occupy a
full line, and the resizer would strangely get some horizontal offset as
well.
4. IE6 again, in Quirks mode, would have the element path occupy a full
line, but no horizontal offset for the resizer.
5. So taking into point 2, 3, 4 into account - If I were to use negative
margins to get the resizer to work, I would have to write different cases
for i. FF/Safari/Opera, ii. IE standards mode; iii. IE quirks mode...
probably more. So the negative margin fix is a unreliable hack.
So instead, I looked to how the positioning is handled at the editor
toolbar. Individual toolbars only occupy enough space for themselves, and
so more items can be easily added with CSS float and they'll be positioned
correctly. And that's why I see the real problem in the bottom box is the
100% width of the element path box. If it only occupies enough space for
itself, then I can have a very simple solution for the resizer that works
for all browsers across quirks and standards modes.
