Description - sandbox iframe resize problem in IE 8

(1/2) > >>

K7IA:
I have recently adopted http://bakabt.me/10633-maison-ikkoku-complete-ost-collection.html for description improvement and stuff.

using windows xp sp3 32bit

I have trouble getting the site's auto resize feature work properly in IE8 (even with compatibility mode on, without it the sandbox editor does not load the full code, just the first page of code)

The auto resize feature works fine in Firefox 3.5.5 (which I actually always use)


I have read http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=18456, and tried Blubart's "div wrap in body element", but could not get it to work.

If it is something specific to IE 8, I will leave it at that.

Any help is appriciated,
Regards,

Firefox 3.5.5



IE 8

Xiong Chiamiov:
I found that IE 8 can be a bit picky about JavaScript (it doesn't like trailing commas in arrays, for instance); it includes a decent debugger, however, if you feel adventurous.

If you pastebin the code, we can play around with it.

K7IA:
^ thanks a bunch Xiong Chiamiov, I will be grateful if you can help me solve this :)

the code is accessible from here, http://earc.heliohost.org/page.html

I was about to complete it, and thought I should give it a try in sandbox with IE 8 then bumped into this problem. (it renders fine in IE 8 actually without sandbox)

if all else fails, i will put a single <br /> with a font-size: 800px into the body :P

regards,

[edit] apparently the problem is limited to the sandbox in IE8. The html rendering and iframe size was OK when I published the description. (I did not want to publish it before completion)

That's good to know.  Of course, it'd be nice to find out what exactly was causing the conflict, but if it works... not a super-high priority.

Jarudin:
Ugh, what a monster script.
Why do you make it so hard on yourself by implementing EVERYTHING in JavaScript?
Why not make a few panels in HTML and only use JavaScript to show and hide them according to the tab?

As for the resizing issue.
I'm not sure why IE8 decides the iframe should be only 150px high. I see you made the wrapper div 800px high, does this work for you?
As for the discrepancy between the sandbox and the description page: the description page iframe height is cached so it starts off with a really good first guess so the iframe rarely has to resize. This is not important or even possible for the sandbox. I'm not sure why IE8 accepts the correct height though, I would expect it to resize down to 150px.
