Hello,

I have some issues with option’s menu in Simplepress.

Please, look at the picture:

The menu has some formatting issues or what? Why internal frame gone outside? (red tin ellipse), and why the close button is to upper from menu body (small red ellipse)?

This happening in Chromium, and in FF only the frame’s issues appear (close button is OK)

This will almost certainly be CSS from your Wp theme having a knock on effect.
You need to inspect it with Firebug (or the Chrome developers tools) to determine what CSS form your theme is the cause.

I don’t think that I understand well…

What my WP theme has with Simplepress theme, BTW in Chrome developers tool I’m getting this code for menu styling:

<div style=”outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; top: 563px; left: 0px; position: absolute; display: block; z-index: 1001; height: auto; width: 250px; ” class=”ui-dialog ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all ui-draggable ui-resizable” tabindex=”-1″ role=”dialog” aria-labelledby=”ui-dialog-title-dialog”></div> And I can’t find any CSS trouble with this menu. Or I do not know what I’m looking for 😉

After all, I tried with default WP themes and the same thing happened again (internal frame gone external on right edge). Little frustrating

what Andy means is that simple press displays on a wp page… therefore ALL css that is in effect for a wp page is also in effect for the forum display…  we define specific styling for the forum elements, but sometimes your wp theme can still bleed through and affect the display…

this appears to be what is happening…

but impossible to tell from a screenshot…  would need a link to your site so it can be inspected with firefox and firebug…

I don’t know why the Close button is way to high but I am seeing similar in the dialog content width. It appears to be slightly wider than the top content. The 98% should probably be 96% on the ui-dialog-content width.

Will add to tracker so it can be checked into it further.

grof, this won’t help your close button issue and still can be a CSS problem from your WP theme like stated above.

Actually, of course, we need more than that because we can’t see the tools as a normal visitor.

Can you send a PM to myself and to Mr Papa with some logion credentials we can use? Please include a link to this thread and a link to your site and a brief reminder of the problem.

E-mail? I didn’t get any e-mail from Andy (yes, I looked at the Spam 😉 )

smile Steve left out a comma or could have phrased it better. He meant he had sent an email on this subject to me!

But I don’t think we do have enough as the right hand side of the box doesn’t explain the close button so I would still like to take a look at that using Firebug.

OK, I made account for you (in your PM)

OK thanks for that.

There are two issues. The first is the misaligned right hand side of the popup which is down to us and will be fixed in the next update.

The other issue is the sometimes misaligned title bar which – if it is going to happen – usually just happens the first time the popup is opened and then corrects itself. As far as I am aware – and I am open to correction if anyone knows differently – this is a current bug with webkit (i.e., Chrome and Safari) or at least some sort of conflict between webkit and the jQuery UI framework. All we can do about that at the moment is hope it gets fixed soon.

Good. Thanks for your help. 🙂 When the next RC release will be out, I will try it.
