The problem is not clear to me Limun, can you explain what the arrows are trying to point out in the image?

Limun [ Wed 23 Jan, 2013 14:52 ]
Post subject: Re: Black Pearl PM Problem

the page is too large Josh
its overlaping (overlapimg: i think is the right word)

~~I've been looking at a board that has this spage pretty much default and I do't see the problem...~~ neither can I remember anyone posting about it or redoing it at my own boards (but feel free to search here orin the style's helpthread at phpbb.com)

Maybe someone else can confirm or deny this issue or maybe you can post a fullscreen image (or even pm access on a test account)?

EDIT:
Ive scratched the part of comparing to a default site because that site was set at 1200px wide

(I will have to ask MG for an old demo url to see default)

Limun [ Thu 24 Jan, 2013 05:40 ]
Post subject: Re: Black Pearl PM Problem

Looking at those images I don't really see anything pushing it to become so wide, all I really notice is the smiley section being very small in width.

Sure you can reg yourself, I even feel honored when people from here do that.
Feel free to test or ask anything (even if you want a copy of this [MODDED] file).

Just don't forget i's not default! (starting with the width being flexible)... if you would like to use my copy keep in mind that it needs extra modifications and/or removal of some code!

Let me know if I can help with anything Limun

I don't have it in front of me Limun,

But if you have pulled the width in for the overall templates, in the template(s) that are the PM related templates find <textarea

and adjust the columns to fit the width.

Most browsers will accept <textarea name "whatever" width="80%" height="20%" /> whatever, and you can fudge it by using both columns/rows, and/or width/height.

Something like this: Where those browsers that don't read the style, will still use the columns.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<textarea name="post_pm" id="post_pm" cols="40" rows="15" style="height: 150px; width: 100%;"></textarea>

Edit:

I just thought of something - phpBB used to and probably still does (If MG has got anything to do with it),

have a single file for the editors and call it with stuff like if(private - aka {CODEBOX} drag it over here.

Can't remember? - But if you get really stuck - I'll have a look at it too.

I've set one of my forums to 960px to see what happens and my compose page looks just fine

The file Limun mentioned in post 1 should be correct but some ucp_pm files or other ucp_* files are included to make the full page.

Post subject: Re: Black Pearl PM Problem

Yeah, Josh,

It's hard to guess what's happening when one can't access at least the view-source.

Joshua203 [ Fri 25 Jan, 2013 13:39 ]
Post subject: Re: Black Pearl PM Problem

maybe Limun can post it

but I think it s unmodified so we could extract it from a default pack too I guess

Joshua203 [ Fri 25 Jan, 2013 13:59 ]
Post subject: Re: Black Pearl PM Problem

~~Both mine and~~ Default posting_body ~~are identical and~~ contains this as text area and palette:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

		<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">

		<!-- INCLUDE posting_buttons.html -->

		<tr>

			<td valign="top" style="width: 100%;"><textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="76" tabindex="3" onselect="storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" onkeyup="storeCaret(this);" onfocus="initInsertions();" style="width: 700px; height: 270px; min-width: 98%; max-width: 98%;">{MESSAGE}</textarea></td>

			<!-- IF S_BBCODE_ALLOWED -->

			<td width="80" align="center" valign="top">

				<script type="text/javascript">

				// <![CDATA[

					colorPalette('v', 7, 6)

				// ]]>

				</script>

			</td>

			<!-- ENDIF -->

		</tr>

		</table>

EDIT:
One difference with my modded file is:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

rows="17"

instead of 15

EDIT: but this doesn't cause the error ..I tested

	/* width: 90%; */

}

Code: [Hide] [Select]

I'm viewing this at more than one site with multiple widths from default to 100% and use ie8, but I just don't see it.

I'm almost at the point of blaming your settings on the pc... have you tried viewing on a different system?

Limun [ Sun 27 Jan, 2013 12:12 ]
Post subject: Re: Black Pearl PM Problem

ok summary :

i tryed in Linux and everything is ok , no problems but:

my Linux was on 1280x1024 resolution
my windows 7 (here was the problem) was on 1152x864

now i changed win7 to 1280x1024

what resolution is your Josh?

try 1152x864

Joshua203 [ Sun 27 Jan, 2013 18:32 ]
Post subject: Re: Black Pearl PM Problem

wouldn't that simply mean you are using the wrong resolution settings?

My laptop is set at 1280x800, I have no 1152x864

no its not wrong
i think some people still using 1152x864

Post subject: Re: Black Pearl PM Problem

Hey fella's,

If resolution is the problem, then the script is fixed-width and not fluid.

@Limun, could you set the columns to something like 20 for a look, and then remove all columns and rows, and try it with the style= on its own?

And I suppose another problem is - Is that some browsers are smarter than others, and handle overall and inner widths differently.

Wherever that textarea is or called from.

Mate if you use FF and add this to it http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ you will be able to edit the cached html and find and solve these problems a lot easier.

If you install it make sure that you enable the bottom tool-bar, because that's the one that will tell you if there are errors or warnings in the html - and you can click the icon to find out what they are.

Doesn't tell you how to fix it - But shows you where it is.

And don't ever use Html-Tidy to try and fix it, because you're dealing with lots of different templates when you are looking at the html.

But you already knew that.
