OverLib and Firefox   Message List  
Reply Message #8414 of 13039 |
I have run into a weird bug recently. It's very easy to spot and very
simple to reproduce. To see it in effect go here:
http://www.sfnn.net/swgb/map/

Wait till it loads. Warning to 56k people, it will take quite a while
because the image on it is very big sizewise. Now once it has loaded
hover your mouse over a planet, this is where OverLib comes into play,
it will show a little popup with some info about the planet over a
nice background.

Now to see the problem. Scroll all the way to the right end of the
image and hover your cursor over Belkadan or Sernpidal both are top
right corner. As you will notice if you use Firefox that is, that the
background doesn't get displayed anymore, only the text gets displayed
in the overlib popup.

Some info:
Os: win2k/winxp
Browser: Firefox 0.8, 0.9
OverLib Version: 4.06

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/help.

... The same thing happens in Netscape 7.2. I've also noticed that its tied to the initial browser window size. I don't think it has anything to do with the...

... Why don't you make use of the overlib_pagedefaults routine to specify the common commands once so that you don't need to repeat them in each popup like...

... I don't know what to make of this example now. I tried it in IE6, Opera 7.54, Netscape 7.2, and Mozilla 1.8a4 all on a Windows XP Professional machine....

Looks like I just found a way to fix it, thanks to an idea that a user gave to me on FireFox support forums. He said that maybe there is something wrong with...
