sommaire block expands with firefox only

New Member Joined: Apr 04, 2006 Posts: 9

I've tried beta, current and old versions of the sommaire block. In IE and Opera it displays closed or collapsed.

In Firefox, it always displays in the expanded mode to a long list, it won't collapse.

Any thoughts?

does that work?

good point....yes it does.

obviously it's something somewhere in my code.

I reloaded the sommaire block 3.01 beta, it expands completely in Opera, but 2.1 and 2.11 doesn't, they remain collapsed. All 3 expand completely in firefox.

anything?

only reason i can think of that it conflicts with some code on your site..

The approach used in earlier versions of Sommaire (e.g. 2.1 and 2.11) may have conflicted with Opera. I thought it had address issues with Firefox, too, but maybe not. Which version of FF are you using?

FF 2.0, Opera 9.02 & IE7

It's weird that Sommaire (2.1 & 2.11) behaves in Opera 9 & IE7, but not FF2.

I don't think it would have been tested with FF2 as it was probably released after Sommaire but yes it is rather strange.

Sounds like FCKeditor... There were issues with FCKeditor 2.3.1 with FF 2.0, which hopefully were addressed in 2.3.2, which we are testing now.

I finally got it to behave dynamically correct in all 3 browsers, using Sommaire v212beta6

Looking over the code it appears that this version has different mozilla references on about lines 34-36... starting with "detectMozilla" (2 lines)

Anyway mystery solved.
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP.

Interesting - so it had browser-specific code that caused this. If I remember correctly, FCKeditor had the same thing. At any rate, glad it is working now - thanks for the update.

zqmp987, would you please post the code fixes here so that others may benefit? Thanks!

I use PSPad to compare text differences between 2 files. PSPad highlighted several code differences between v212beta6 and v211, but the one I keyed on was

line 34 $detectMozilla =0;

it started with "detectMozilla", so I figured browser!...I'm not a coder, but since v212beta6 had this reference and it worked in all 3 browsers and 2.1 and 2.11 didn't have it or was commented out, it was the line causing my problem.

Bottom line - use Sommaire v212beta6, if you're have similar problems with dynamic function not working in a collapsed state.

Oh, I see. I missed the point earlier. I was thinking that you had to make a change to the beta code.

BTW, is "v212beta6" the same as "Sommaire Paramétrable v3.0 04 october 2005"?

if you mean v30b1, no v212beta6 has many code differences.

in particular (v30b1), line34 is commented out //$detectMozilla = (eregi("Mozilla",$_SERVER['H...

Interesting. I'll have to look at that closer and see if 3.0b1 works or not, or have you already tested it. I vaguelly recall seeing some comments in the code around issues with some functions on some browsers and that he was yet to fix them... been too long ago, though, to remember, and I didn't take notes.
