[ Firefox ] Any dialog box is not showed properly (ok, cancel buttons lost)

[Bakyt Niyazov]

Here is my suggestion for fix :)

I've fixed it by opening fckeditor/fckdialog.html

1. step

find

<table height="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0">

change it to

<table id="_fckpopup_main_table" height="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="83%" border="0">

2. step

add the following code right before closing BODY tag

<!--[if IE]>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		var x = document.getElementById("_fckpopup_main_table");
		x.width = "100%";
	</script>
<![endif]-->

HTH!

Firefox dialog box's width issue

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

This problem happens if you have the Extended Statusbar extension installed.

[Bakyt Niyazov]

Yes you're almost right. I don't have exactly this extension installed. But I have many other extensions installed.

I tried just to turn off status bar showing and my "fix" lead to the another problem.

is there any workarounds?

Thank you!

[Bakyt Niyazov]

I've found that any extension that change the status bar

I've disabled SearchStatus - and everything worked fine.

I think this ticket is invalid now :(

FCKEditor is great! Keep up your great work!

Best wishes1

I think this ticket should be re-opened.

I have found that this problem (or a problem that manifests itself in the same way) occurs in IE7 as well.

I originally came to the same conclusion, that it was extensions that change the status bar that cause this problem. However, a user was able to demonstrate to me that this also occurs in IE7, I have not been able to replicate it myself, but she was getting the problem consistently in IE7 until she restarted her machine.

Also I think it should be fixed for Firefox because we should not be stopping our users from using certain Firefox Extensions just so they can use a dialog!

You say that the above "fix" leads to another problem? What is this? Can we work from there and try and find a solution that works?

[Mark]

Also I should mention that I have witnessed (in Firefox) the checkbox's on the Word Paste dialog get cropped at the bottom so that only one is visible. So there is not just a width problem.

[Bakyt Niyazov]

CapnPolo I totally agree with you. Forcing users to not to use extensions is a bad idea. My fix lead to the situation when user have no specific (status bar affected) firefox extension the dialog box width less than.

Sorry for my English. Please look at the image I've attached.

Dialog doesn't fit to the window with my "fix"

[Bakyt Niyazov]

CapnPolo

At this time I see the possible solution in increasing the width of the window.

Or may any other expert (one of the core developers) could find the solution as they know all the inner working of this wonderful html editor.

Best regards.

[Bakyt Niyazov]

OMG, the simplest solution is to turn off the status bar when invoking the dialog box.

Actually I don't where it is happened (routine the invokes the dialog box)

[Bakyt Niyazov]

Trying to pass "status=no" to the window.open wasn't successful.

Here ​http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:window.open#Note_on_status_bar and ​http://kb.mozillazine.org/Dom.disable_window_open_feature.status

I come to the idea that it is not possible to turn off status bar.

Couldn't find why it is so..

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

Users can install any extension that they please, but if it creates a bug in the rendering on the browser so that it's quite complex to workaround it, then the extension author should be the one to fix his extension.

I think that previously the extension that I mentioned had lots of other comments reporting the problems with popup dialogs but now only one remains: ​https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1433

With regards to the IE7 issue, it will be hard to fix it if the same user can fix the problem just by resetting her computer, that's a very hard to reproduce bug, so it's not possible to know what's going on there.

And anyway, this problem will go away if #35 is implemented (use floating panels for dialogs)

Why not just make popups resizable?

[Bjorn]

why not just place the buttons on the left side of the popup. making the popups resizable would also solve the problem

quickfix: in fckdialog.html @ line 323 change

<tr>
<td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<input id="btnOk" style="VISIBILITY: hidden;" type="button" value="Ok" class="Button" onclick="Ok();" fckLang="DlgBtnOK" />
&nbsp; 
<input id="btnCancel" type="button" value="Cancel" class="Button" onclick="Cancel();" fckLang="DlgBtnCancel" />
</td>
</tr>

to

<tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<input id="btnOk" style="VISIBILITY: hidden;" type="button" value="Ok" class="Button" onclick="Ok();" fckLang="DlgBtnOK" />
&nbsp; 
<input id="btnCancel" type="button" value="Cancel" class="Button" onclick="Cancel();" fckLang="DlgBtnCancel" />
</td>
<td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

so just move the first table cell: <td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>

This way the buttons will be visible, no matter what...

This one is supposed to be fixed for version 2.6 (#35).

[Martin Kou]

Fixed with #35.
