340157 - file selection on flicker upload page not working.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Minimo Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[chris hofmann]

1. login to a flicker account
2. go to the upload page at http://flickr.com/photos/upload
3. the six file entry dialogs are skwished down to a single character, and the browse button does't open the Windows Mobile file manager to help locate files on your mobile device.  

The combination of these makes uploading files to flickr un-usable.

Doug mentioned that some/all might be fixable in css.  I see this in both "single column" and "desktop" mode

Adding a rule to ssr like this fixes the problem:

+html input {
+  min-width: 64px ! important;
+}
+


This is a new hard coded value.  By trial and error 64px is the minimum value to have the word "Browse..." render in the current font.  It looks like both the textbox as well as "browse..." button respond to this value.  So, the total width of the "file input" is 128px on screen.

I am hoping for a better way.

I fixed this with that hack.
