Joomla Templates

Hi there fellow webbers! :P

I have noticed that the input-fields for the login information sometimes kinda run out of control. I've added an image to show what I mean (just in case this is only my browser acting up) - taken from a website discussed here in the forum. I have however seen this effect on the joomlabear page too. What's going on?

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.6 currently under Windows. I haven't checked Firefox under Unix yet and I havent checked the Konqueror either. If this is an issue, I will do that though.

Hi Chris,

That is looking mighty strange!

May I ask what module you are publishing there? Looks like a newsletter module of some sort?

We have created a specific CSS style for form input fields in the left column and somehow the module you are using is overriding this. You should find the search and login modules do not behave in this way when published in the left column.

The fix will involve tracking down the CSS for the newsletter module.

Can you post a link to your site and I'll look at the source and let you know what needs to be added.

Kind regards

Lachlan

Hi Boss!

Sure I can give you an example. This isn't however my site, so please don't ask me about what's been done, since I haven't looked too closely (yet).

I got the particular screen shot from http://tunraz.com/

But I also get a similar effect when I log into the forum here or when I look at this page:
http://blackbear.joomlabear.com/index.php? option=com_registration&amp;task=register

Not sure if this a really special problem or a broader one. I can add screen shots if you can't see the problem with your browser.

Hi Chris,

Very strange - thought that was your site - We have tested on Macintosh OSX Safari and Firefox, Windows IE 6 &amp; 7 and Firefox and all works fine.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.6 on Windows personally, as you are, and not experiencing the same issue.

Would love to get to the bottom of this. Might have to think a little as I have nothing right now...

Many thanks for your help.

Hi everyone!

No problem! I will always help if I can and maybe if I have a problem one day, I might get some help from you guys. :)

Concerning this issue directly: Can you see what I am talking about? Does you browser display the some thing mine does or is it just my browser acting up?

Regards
Chris

My browser is fine - everything looks hunky dory. I'm on the same setup as you as far as I can work out - Latest FireFox and Windows XP Servicepack 2.

We have a Mac and a PC running IE 6 in the office for testing purposes - all are displaying correctly.

Would love to know what's causing this...

Hiya Big Bear!

Ok, I went over to a friend's place to try and clarify this issue. We can both reproduce the effekt: The registration forms of both the black and the polar bear live demo[1] don't only run right out of design boarder on the right but also out of the screen. My screen resolution is 1280x1024 (standard 19&quot; LCD) and the input fields do not fit on my screen. If I double the horizontal resolution by stretching the browser window over both screens (then having 1280x2048), the input fields don't get any bigger but they are way to big for the template. My friend doesn't have as much contrast as I do and couldn't see what I was talking about until he turned up the brightness of his monitor.

This effect applies for Firefox...

Our good friend MSIE (which I don't maintain since I barely ever use it, so it's V6.0) does something else that looks strange: The input fields for registering are not in the centre (main) area of the tablett, but begin in the left (navigation-) bar and then stretch all the way over the screen. The word &quot;Registration&quot; is directly below the search field.

It would seem that we pretty much ruled out a browser glitch.

If the uploadable image size were increased, I would be happy to include some screenshots showing all of the problem (in full size).

Regards
Chris
