Overly wide quick reply box ?
« on: Jun 12, 2011, 01:29:51 »
Anyone else experiencing an overly wide quick reply box since the 2.0 final release?
If so then I know it's just the theme and can wait for a update, if not just need to know so I can try and find out what I broke :)

When I look at the page source in IE8 it shows this:
Code: [Select]
<textarea cols="600" rows="7" name="message" tabindex="1"></textarea>

They changed how textboxes were handled in IE8 in 2.0 final. Check if it's doing the same for you in the default theme.
When you want help, I'm likely to ask you questions. It's not because I'm a stubborn pain in the backside, it's because I need that information to actually be *able* to help you. Sooner you provide it, sooner you get help, simple as that.

It's doing this in all DZ themes in all browsers since 2.0 final.

Index.css:

Find:
Code: [Select]
#quickReplyOptions form textarea
{
height: 100px;
margin: 0.25em 0 1em 0;
}

Replace:
Code: [Select]
#quickReplyOptions form textarea
{
height: 100px;
width: 635px;
max-width: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
margin: 0.25em 0 1em 0;
}
Using Internet Explorer is like urinating in a public swimming pool. It's rude,
there's no excuse for it, and anyone who does it should be ashamed of themselves.
