[WSG] IES and Firefox issues - Link included
Yes, it's that secure I forgot the link: https://monitor.hpa.com.au/ies/ I apologize in advance for the HTML email - using a web based client without the option to change to plain - expect a new client soon! Precursory info: * Yup, it validates (HTML and CSS) * http://www.websiteoptimization.com/ gave me a pat on the head! * Sorry about the secure URL, it's the only place I'm allowed to play in public. I'm having issues with the treemenu on the left in firefox, and with the positioning of the content area in IE. Firefox will not display scroll bars when the tree expands beyond the dimensions of it's containing div. (Finger in mouth, Dr Evil style) IE does, why won't firefox? What am I doing wrong there? (Before you rush to its defence - yes Firefox is a gift from the HTML Goddess) IE will play silly buggers with my main content area. When re-sizing your browser, it will let/make the content area jump below the tree menu. What-tha? (Before you rush to his defence, Rove is a Wally). Do I have a dimension error? Last time I checked 25% and 75% equalled 100%! Still I'm sure I've stuffed it - I just can't see where... Supplemental Project info: (If you're interested) This is a web app that will facilitate: * image searching, annotation, display and indexing/archiving (of all document/mime types) * email subscription/management for the delivery of bulk information (invoice delivery, con-note retrieval etc, anything from the archive above) * bill payment of above said documents/archive contents * customer service facilities (for phone based assistance) * JSP and beans with side helping of Oracle 10.g served on jBoss in Windows and Linux flavours * blah blah blah - you get the picture... All the above systems are alive and kicking - this is just a rewrite of several interfaces into one standards based layout. winmail.dat

Firefox will not display scroll bars when the tree expands beyond the dimensions of it's containing div. My theory: the auto height on #tree_menu_container expands the container to fit the content. Therefore the browser sees no need to add scrollbars. IE will play silly buggers with my main content area. Probably a combination of the 100% width + 1px border on the table (which presumably will have tabular data). Try removing the table width, changing it to 99% and/or removing the table border. Incidentally, the javascript locked up MSIE for over a minute (after initial loading) and it was loading something like 180 files (presumably images). Ouch.

OK - I'll play with that and see how I go Probably a combination of the 100% width + 1px border on the table (which presumably will have tabular data). Try removing the table width, changing it to 99% and/or removing the table border. The more I look at it, the more it seems to be the case. I'll have to think of a better way to add that border, maybe on an element inside that container? Incidentally, the javascript locked up MSIE for over a minute (after initial loading) and it was loading something like 180 files (presumably images). Ouch. Yep - I found that out too - that stuff is to support transparent pngs in IE. I use pngs in the tree menu - and in the background of the table cells. Looks like I'll have to throw it. It's a javascript trick from youngpup.net to apply that nasty transparency filter in IE. Thanks for taking the time to look.
