Fabrice resolved SHINDIG-1631.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
This is due to a Google Gadget API issue. Not a Shindig bug.
> Adjust Height doesn't work in Thrid Paty website with IE and Firefox
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SHINDIG-1631
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1631
> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Javascript
> Environment: Firefox (tested with 5 and 6) and Internet Explorer
> (tested with 7, 8 and 9)
> It works with Chrome / Safari.
> Reporter: Fabrice
> Labels: api-change, javascript, patch
> Original Estimate: 8m
> Remaining Estimate: 8m
>
> Gadgets API and Open Social have a function for adjusting height:
> gadgets.window.adjustHeight()
> This function is not working on all browsers AND when called from thrid party
> website. On iGoogle it will work for all browsers (my understanding is that
> in this case it works because it is taking advantages of "views" instead).
> To view the bug, I embeded a gadget on this third party website:
> http://youfoot.weebly.com/ (open with Firefox or IE, and click "Expand" >
> the gagdet is truncated)
> The code is also posted on the same page. It's really a very simple code to
> test adjusting height: gadgets.window.adjustHeight()
> If you run this code in Google Gadget Checker to debug it it shows that the
> API is called but it doesn't see the function!
> Gadget Checker is available here:
> http://www.google.com/ig/adde?moduleurl=www.google.com/ig/modules/codechecker/codechecker.xml
> The error returned is:
> WARNING Unused features
> The gadget doesn't appear to use the dynamic-height feature, although it
> requests it.
> Recommendation: Consider removing this line, so your gadget doesn't contain
> unnecessary javascript.
> About the code: some may think the code is work. We didn't write it, this is
> a very basic code that Takashi Matsuo wrote in this post
> (http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Gadgets-API/browse_thread/thread/2641fd314290e47a)
> unfortunately he never responded and the code he gave he only tested in
> iGoogle and concluded that it worked. But his code doesn't work when the
> gadget is embeded in Third Party website. Afetr we didn't hear from him
> again...
> We've tried other syntax (like the deprecated function from 2008) and many
> other variations, as well as complete work-arounds > it's simply broken.
> Is this a Shindig issue: I didn't think this was. Because, in this case we
> want to embed this on a Third Party website which is not Open Social.
> However, having exchanged emails with Mark Weitzel (president of Open Social)
> he concluded:
> "adjustHeight is an API that's part of the spec. The implementation is in
> apache shindig. If this api doesn't actually work, it's likely a problem in
> the implementation--that's shindig."
> This is why I am posting this here...
> Priority: I am putting "Major" only (Major loss of function.) but this is
> the first thing we tested before we choose to use Gadgets/OpenSocial. It's
> critical to the usage of the Gadgets in term of UI. So to me it's "Blocker"
