Problems with the Poll (again)

SupDawg · 02-08-2005, 06:46 PM

The poll on the front page is hanging off the screen again. It doesnt seem to do it in IE, but the screen looks weird.

Here's a capture.

Check it now - I just added a couple of spaces to force a line break. Post back one way or another - it looked OK to me in FF now.

It's still hanging off a ways for me in FF too.

PCBruiser · 02-08-2005, 06:55 PM

Try it again, I just added some extra spaces in some of the choices as well. Some of the choices were long without spaces.

Its fine now, thanks PCB

Sorry....I noticed it as soon as I posted it and fixed it (at least for me). I think a lot of times it depends on many factors like screen resolution and the size of window you use and such.

Sorry.

A lot better, but still needs some work.

Post a screenie and I'll see what I can do to fix it.

Here you go PCB...

Try it now Ozzie. I added a couple more spaces to permit some different line breaks. I think it was the first vote choice that was causing the long line.

***Ozzie*** · 02-09-2005, 10:28 AM

Looks good here PCB...

We'll need to keep track of the fix needed for future reference...this has happened before.

The problem is that unless you have spaces in some reasonable places, vb's parser will extend the line beyond the screen, and not break the line in a "good" place. All I did to fix this was to edit the poll title and choices to add some spaces in the proper place to let the vb parser break the lines into shorter segments.
