Hi Bob So the "latest development version" on SF, 13.0.RC5, is ancient ? 5 days old Ha! Supersonic Jmol ;-)

I really think we should not be relying on no doctype if we are heading towards HTML5 solutions. But on the other hand the page must not break whatever the doctype is. I think we can do it (see below). > The problem arises when the info panel is displayed and there is > overflow. Only if the overflow is because of a table -- with long text it was working fine, I'd swear (I am stopping to trust my tests ;-) ) > In addition, without the <table> wrapper, MSIE without DOCTYPE > miscalculates the height, and even with height:95% the info panel is > slightly larger than it is supposed to be. That's because 20px + 95% is not equal to 100%. I have sent offlist my solution: 7% + 93% > But <table> is not an option, I understand that. I'm much happier without it. Apart from being ugly codewise, I'd expect it will break more than one pages. > 2) We (Gusts? Angel? - I give up) find a fix for the height:auto > problem in MSIE with no DOCTYPE tag.

I just sent it off-list, and it seems to work irrespective of the doctype in IE9 and its IE7-faking mode > 3) We set height:auto and make if very clear that if you are going to > use the info panel at all, you will need to have a DOCTYPE, or your > page will be broken on MSIE. I quite preferred the auto, but 7% + 93% is good enough and copes with all browsers. After all, you cannot trust whatever the current font-size is to fit nicely in 20px always. This does not look bad. Finally, please have a look at resizing code; when you have opened the info pane and resize, it resizes well but then the applet proper does not resize any longer. I fixed this yesterday in my local copy (which I sent to you). This seems not to be fixed yet in your version some hours ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
