Re: Contect Editor Width

The editors will use 100% width of their parent container. you might be able to solve it by adding a little padding on the container div.

If you are talking about side columns then the width of the toolbar may be a limiting factor that will cause it to overflow its container but you can customize the toolbar.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Contect Editor Width

That isn't the editor, that is the fieldset surrounding it. You could get rid of the border by

.contactform fieldset{ border: 0px;}

or you could try setting a width on the fieldset.

.contactform fieldset { width: 500px; }

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Contect Editor Width

Hi guys,

I sometimes have a similar problem: 

The editor sometimes appears a big partoutside of the fieldset and this started since IE8 is being used and changing the editor settings as mentionned didn't help...

I say "sometimes", because I am using IE8 on 2 different pc's and PC A has it and PC B doesn't for my custom feature, while PC A doesn't have it for the Guestbook tutorial module  and PC B does have the problem...

In other words, I don't see a logic and don't know where to look anymore......

Any ideas?

Thanks

P

Re: Contect Editor Width

IS PCA or PCB running IE in compatibility mode? I had some inconsistent layout issues with IE8 but they were sorted by forcing IE7 compatibility mode.

Re: Contect Editor Width

Hi,

Is it happening because the contact form or custom module editor is in a side column that is not wide enough?

If so you could make the side column a little wider on the specific page, to make enough room for it.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Contect Editor Width

J:  you're right, the compatibility view caused the differences and only in the comp. view it is displaying correctly....  THANKS

Joe:  Thanks for the tip

Here's a tip on how to change and check this view:

press F12 , it will open developer tool bar . In the menu you will see the Browser mode. Which will clearly tell that it is in IE8 mode or IE7 compatible modeand can change it too!
