Anybody got a cure for these css blues?
I have a Jmol layout that works solidly with the resizable applet in
Firefox and Safari. However, in Internet Explorer (I know you are all
shocked) the div that contains the applet is flat, and does not load
the applet (no output at all in the Java console).
The problem is with using div height in percent. IE will not take a
percent height *unless* I put it inside of a "container" div that
gets its height from elsewhere. Voila, problem solved! However when I
put in the container div, Safari's applet disappears. (And the Java
console has output that is truncated compared to when the applet
loads.) Very frustrating.
Other options -
Feeding in the height in pixels, using inner window width etc., via
javascript - I think that would pretty much kill the resizable applet
feature, right? Even if not, it would be a challenge because the
layout is for a 3rd party and there are other elements on the page
that I do not control.
Using position:absolute would also solve the problem, but again, the
other content prevents me from using this, I think.
-----
A simplified page that works in IE and not in Safari (that is, it
uses a container div) is here:
http://moleculesinmotion.com/containerSimple.htm
The "real" test pages with all the other content and code are
available too, in case anyone wants to see. (But the code is crowded
and complex here.)
http://moleculesinmotion.com/container.htm
http://moleculesinmotion.com/noContainer.htm
I am about at the point where I try to push for a page without all or
most of the other content, but for various reasons, if there is a way
to avoid that right now I'd be delighted.
Thanks, any brave souls who have read this far!
