Layout / Javascript / Browser Issues

Jason
30 Jan 08, 06:34
If your screen/layout looks 'strange' / 'unintelligble' e.g. - overlapping boxes, boxes out of place

Or certain javascript functions are not working properly, or you get javascript errors - e.g. - cannot get WYSIWYG editor working, no smiley palette when posting, WYSIWYG editor is behaving strangely, 'action cogs' not working, search button doesnt pop up form, etc

Especially if you are not using Firefox 2 (which most of my testing was done on), please post here.

Some useful information you might want to include are:
1. Browser name and version
2. Operating system name and version
3. Screen resolution
4. Any error messages shown
5. Any javscript errors your browser throws if possible
6. Related full URLs (for example: http://www.sgforums.com/forums/1/topics/new)
7. Screenshots if possible
8. Of course, description of what happens

Surfing SgF on my office pc, SgF's layout looks strange. Text overlap and sometimes text boxes are vertical rather than horizontal.

But using my home pc, SgF looks fine - pretty cool even!

Both home & office pcs run on XP with IE as web browser. So why the difference?

Which version of IE? Also... what screen resolution? Maybe a screenshot from your office pc would help too if possible ... :)

I'm using FF 2 at home. Windows XP, can't remember my screen resolution. After logged into Sgf for a while, I get an unknown script error message. I can't exactly remember the error message. Will test it out tonight when I go home, when I get the error message, I'll capture the screen shot and post here.

Logging into Sgf for too long causes my browser to hang... :(

Browser: Firefox 2

OS: Vista

Major problem is when replying to topic:

- After clicking the button 'reply to topic', usually nothin happens but only a grey screen will show up and it will stop there

- or the reply box will show but i cant type anything, theres no cursor, even if it click to try typing somethin i cant

- or nothing shows up just the grey screen and the cursor

Error message will be 'Done, but with errors on page' shown on the lower left of the browser (i think the components never load properly.... like now i cant use bold)

IE 6.0

Windows XP SP2 v2002

1024 x 768

Hope this helps!

That one might be solvable or not solvable because it's a scripting error.

Two things to try, might not work though.

1. Clear all your cache and temporary files. Here's one - ATF Cleaner

2. Keep refreshing the page till you get no errors.

Problem lies with both CSS/JavaScript on IE 6. Some commands or values are not suitable for use for IE 6 SP 2. Haven't really tried on IE 7, FF, Opera IE 6 SP 1.

Changing resolution doesn't change the main issue when loading jscript files. As some of the functions comes from .jscript, caching in IE 6 may also be the cause when .jscript files is not loaded or run properly...

Oh well....

Some changes have just been committed that fixes some layout problems in safari/opera/konqueror. Do hit refresh and see if it looks better!

Just put some changes in for IE6, especially the JS problems. Please let me know if problems persist.

I still can't seem to get the layout problems in IE6 to show on my version :/

Try not to maximise your IE window and resize it. It kinda bring out the problem most.

Hmmm last night when I was using, suddenly it started appearing on all the pages. It was either the screenshot I posted, or the items on the left side all shifted to the bottom of the window. But now it's okay. So like, sometimes appear, sometimes okay...

edit: sorry, it's the RIGHT side, not the left side (orientation problem hahah) I realized my error after reading nelly's post
