What browser/OS/screen resolution is this?

I get this too with firefox 3.0.7 ... i already wrote a post about it but no answer yet, i m glad not to be the only one.

The funny thing is :

- I get that on my main PC not on other ones ..

- More funny : i get this when logging to le site guid = 1, and not when i logging to the others (i work with multiple sites) .... i live with it for now but wil be glad if someone has an idea :)

Browser Firefox 3.0.7 /win pro/ resolution 1280x1024

With IE 7 no worries it works

With Opera 9.52 works alsoo..

Hi alfalive,

I am using exactly the same setup (FF 3.0.7/XP Pro/1280x1024) and have never had such a problem in RC1, RC2 or Final.

There is an issue if you try to zoom out on FF, but that could be considered a FF bug rather than an Elgg bug.

Are you using something other than the standard theme?

Is it possible that this has something to do with a FF plugin?

I also have a problem like this, menus are not normal style

Here on the community theme. When I click this http://community.elgg.org/pg/bookmarks/carbonero/read/34296/featplug--featplug

If I understand you correct. I tried zoom on zoom out and normal zoom there is no change.

Yes, interesting that something is misgenerating that specific page. It is broken for me as well. Notice the strange "-->" in the owner block. However, I have not seen any other bookmark pages with this problem (or any other pages on this site like that.)

So while this does look like a bug somewhere, it seems unconnected to the mysterious layout problem you are reporting.

I have looked at the page you linked to in more detail and the problem appears to be a bug that FF 3.07 has with interpreting HTML comments.

There is a bit of code on that page that comments out a generated URL that just happens to contain the characters "--".

The code to demarcate an HTML comment is supposed to be

<!-- comment -->

In this case, the HTML is

<!-- <div><a href="xxx--xxx"> </a></div> -->

Oddly, Firefox simply ignores all the content between the -- and >, and then treats the last

</a></div> -->

as outside the comment.

This throws the div balance off and breaks the design.

So if you have content containing "--" it does appear that this can break the design in Firefox in certain situations.

Just found this description of the problem, in which the issue is traced to an ambiguity in the HTML spec rather than a definite Firefox bug:

http://weblog.200ok.com.au/2008/01/dashing-into-trouble-why-html-comments.html

I do think that the Elgg source needs to be careful to delete HTML code that may contain user generated content rather than simply commenting it out.

After all, the content *could* have contained the string "-->" which then would have broken the layout in any browser.

I put the comment issue in Trac here:
