CSS: Problems in zooming

[vutschko]

Hi folks,

I played around with the default theme and did some changes. Now I run into a little problem when I enlarge the page.

At the fifth step in doing STRG++ one of following elements

table #mainpane tbody tr td
(or elements inside the mentioned ones above)

breaks out of the right side. But I got no clue what causes this behaviour.

Here's that test-page:

Would be nice if you got tips und hints to solve that problem.

Thanks!

At the fifth step in doing STRG++

Two things: First of all, I guess you're talking about Firefox's Zoom function. You can not estimate anything with zooming. It might work differently in other browsers with zoom support (IE7, Opera, Safari). It might also depend on user's browser windows size, default font size etc.

Second, it's usually okay if your layout holds up until the second zoom level.

But I got no clue what causes this behaviour.

Might as well be something sitting within that table like the headlines or something. Likely candidates are elements with fixed widths or min-width.

Also: Your container div has a max-width in px, all elements below that have a relative width in %, if I'm not mistaken. So the maximum for #content is 70% of 990px, meaning 693px. If some element in #content get's wider than that, it will break out.

Hope that helps.

Good tip. I'll give it a try and change some of the widths.

I checked it with Safari, Midori, Chrome and Opera. They behave all about the same at that point. (Scared to check it with IE6+ but that's another story)

Right now I've got another question concerning webkit-based browsers: Each entry has an "Weiterlesen &#x21D2". That entity is not displayed well with webkit as you can see here:

What's that? It happens with Safari, Midori and Chrome.

Thank you so far.

I just now checked it in IE6 (don't have a higher IE here), and it's perfect in that

You're either missing the ; after that entity in your entries.tpl, or webkit browsers don't display entities in unicode.

Which entity is that supposed to be? (I don't know them all by heart. Shame on me. )

I had no other chance.

Hmm. I made a typical Copy&Paste-Error while I wrote my post here.


So it might be possible that webkit browsers don't display entities in unicode. So I'm going to search the web for solutions.

Update: That ⇒ ist a rightwards double arrow.


Thanks.
