Developer Blogs: CSS screwed up in Firefox 1.0/1.5
Posted: Tue Aug 29, 2006 8:23 am
Hi,
I thought I drop this note here, since the issue "appears" in this project's documentation -- more or less
Besides that: kudos and greatest respect for the great work of the Documentation Team and of course, the Developers!! You girls and guys really rock!
However, I dunno if it's just a spooky occult coincidence in each setup of all the browser I used and tried to verify (WInXP/pro with FF1.0.8 + FF1.5.0.6, MSIE 6, Opera 8.5/9) or a general symptom - but if so, why has no one ever noticed?
In Firefox and Opera the user-comment form in the Developer Blogs cause the page to widen up to the extreme, rendering half of the information unreadable as it disappears to the right of the window, requires to scoll horizontal or resize the window to ~2200px .. glad to have dual-screens
In MSIE the content drops down below the navigation (float error I presume) and requires to scroll down everytime.
With the help of the Firefox WebDeveloper extension I was able to apply a User Stylesheet to fix this, but it's annoying to re-apply it on every (new) page request.
I added two screenshots to depict the problem I'm facing here every day and an image of the fixed layout using this small piece of user-CSS mentioned above:
I was playing with percentage to no avail, only pixels solved the problem which is fine for me. Since this "only" affects the width of the input fields, I believe it's an acceptable drawback if the remaining 99% of information and content become readable.
Have fun,
CirTap

otherwise I'd say one of the FF extensions is to blame (which I'll try to verify later after seeing the effect on my laptop)
