loadingMessage

18 April, 2008 - 14:21 — burger.lj

Hi All,

I use Backbase 4.2 without the <!----> at the top of the index.html. I think this is the border-box model? Anyway I use the loadingMessage to indicate loading. I already had to change some of the code to make it appear in the middle of the screen instead of in the upper left corner. The problem is the hide command. When I invoke that, the page on which it is showing and the loading message itself gets all styles removed.

The funny thing is, this does not occur when I put <!----> at the top of the page. But this is not an option, because all fonts become twice as large and I cannot seem to correct that.

Is there a solution that fixes the loading message behavior without having to put <!----> at the top of the page ?

Thanks in advance,

Lesley

Hi Bram,

Thanks for your reply. I am glad I am not the only one with this problem. Unfortunately I must use IE. I just found out another example of the occurrence:
When you have your debugger activated, you press ESC to show it. To make it disappear, you press ESC again. Now everything is great when you press ESC the first time, but again all styles seem to disappear when you press ESC again to make the debugger go away.

any progress?

I work with IE and these problems do not occur, I believe that any configuration of IE, I will verify.

Font sizes

Try setting the font size for the body element in CSS; other font sizes will inherit from that. Make sure IE7 (if that's what your using) is not using your local style sheet.

I already did that

Hi Paul,

I already did that. The layout is not the issue here. The problem is the loading message. For some reason when I hide the message, the page loses all it's styles. The same thing occurs when I press ESC to show/hide the debugger. Quirks mode does not seem to be effected by this, but in this mode the font size is huge and I can't seem to manipulate it. Also I'd rather keep using standards mode. Maybe this information rings a bell. In the mean time I am going to make a test project, which will hopefully show my issue.

It was the overflow

21 May, 2008 - 10:14 — burger.lj

The body tag contained overflow:hidden. This caused the weird behavior. If I remove the overflow or set it to it's default overflow:visible, the application behaves as it should. The styles stay intact now.

Thanks for the trouble,

Lesley
