Documentation problem


Recommended Posts

... That's not a screenshot, it's a link to the documentation. Which, renders correctly on every browser I have on this computer.

(Though I still think the logo hanging down off the glass looks GOD AWFUL.)

Only thing that seems to "float" is the pop-up messages where the text is double underlined. Click on the little x to close or move the mouse away & it will go away after a short time.

Yep, not a screenshot so hard to know what you are seeing, Bean59.

Sorry for the reference to 'screenshot' when I meant link to the page in question. I took a screenshot but was not successful in including it in the post so as an alternative I added the link. I will make another attempt and also view the documentation in Firefox.

Good, you got the screenshot working. I tried to get it to replicate the problem but BoltBait also asked what browser you are using. It could be a problem with the browser but BB & Pyro are the experts in that field. Sorry I couldn't help much. I am using Google Chrome & it works fine as noted by Pyro.

The problem is with IE7's rendering engine (which is essentially what IE8 Compatibility View is).

Looks like line 13 of style.css is the problem, where both the html document and the body node are set to 100% height. It's an unnecessary declaration to begin with, since both elements are automatically assumed to extend to the height of the content, and it's what's causing the unintended behavior. Percentage declarations set the element to the dimension of its parent, so what IE7 is doing is setting the body to 100% of html, and html to 100% of the window. Ultimately, this means footer gets absolutely positioned at the bottom of the viewspace based on the height of the window, covering over the text there.

I tested nixing line 13 in IE7, IE8, Firefox, and Chrome. The problem was fixed in IE7 with no ill effects in any of the other browsers/versions.

@Rick: I'd suggest your web guy remove that line.

@bean59: I'd suggest that you upgrade to IE8 if at all possible. If you have the IE Developer Toolbar you can go in and deactivate that line to fix it, but you'll have to re-do it every page load.

Like y'all said, this only happens in IE7. I tried the fix CMD suggested, but it made things look worse in newer browsers.

Since it works fine in IE8 and IE9, and since IE9 is almost RTM, I'm going to leave this alone. Upgrading to IE8/9 is free.
