302014 - Hendrix layout squashed in IE, wrapping text at 16 characters

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Hendrix, defect)

Description

[James Ross]

I've been seeing a number of Hendrix reports in the newsgroup that are wrapped
into a very narrow column for a while, and it only just occured to me that it
was all the IE-submitted ones.

I don't know exactly what the page is doing (probably CSS-related, though), but
IE ends up displaying the form elements squashed, even cutting off the
right-edge of the summary box. The real problem, though, is the detailed
comments - it is only 16 characters wide, and thanks to the wrap="hard" in the
source, IE's posted comments are wrapped into this narrow column.

I've checked in a change to remove the width: 100%; from the CSS which was
apparently (according to #developers) causing IE problems.

Dave: can you CVS update hendrix.mozilla.org?

Thanks,

Gerv
