Weird behavior in firefox

Hi all:

I have assigned to migrate Xhina to pLog (a very famous open source mutli-blogging platform).

It is really easy to migrate xinha, just drop in replace and rewrite the initial script, but there some weird behavior, therefore I come here to conform:

In htmlarea 3.0 I can use the row="20" to control the hight of textarea, but this seems not wowks with xinha.

I already test it under IE and FF. In IE, it works, the height will follow the "row" attribute. But in firefox, it won't (always show me toolbar with 2 row only...)

It seems I have no way to control the height in firefox unless I use config.height

BTW, when I change the source/html mode, the height will also resized .... Is this right?

Mark

Re: Weird behavior in firefox

One more question.

When I change to text mode under fire fox, I only get one line of source code .... everything go into one line ..

Can I keep the text mode format as IE does?

re: source formatting.

You can use the HTMLTidy or SuperClean plugins to do this in Mozilla.

Re: Weird behavior in firefox

Hi James:

Great jobs!!

Thanks for the fix. it works very well under firefox now. But when I change the wydiwyg mode to text mode, the textarea in IE still resize again and again, is it the normal behavior?

BTW, I did some tweak for firefox source formating, it you think the tweak okay, maybe you can include them into the next build. Here comes the patch:

---[Find in htmlarea.js]---
  switch (mode) {
    case "textmode":
    {
      var html = this.outwardHtml(this.getHTML());

---[Replace With] ---
  switch (mode) {
    case "textmode":
    {
      if (!HTMLArea.is_gecko) {
        var html = this.outwardHtml(this.getHTML());
      } else {
          var html = insertCRLF(this.getHTML());
      }

---[ Add the function to end of file before the last two lines ]---

function insertCRLF( txt ) { 
 
    txt = txt.replace(/<br \/>([^\n])/g,"<br \/>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<tr>([^\n])/g,"<tr>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<\/h1>([^\n])/g,"<\/h1>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<\/h2>([^\n])/g,"<\/h2>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<\/h3>([^\n])/g,"<\/h3>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<\/h4>([^\n])/g,"<\/h4>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<\/h5>([^\n])/g,"<\/h5>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<\/h6>([^\n])/g,"<\/h6>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<\/tr>([^\n])/g,"<\/tr>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<td>([^\n])/g,"<td>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<\/td>([^\n])/g,"<\/td>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<\/li>([^\n])/g,"<\/li>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<\/p>([^\n])/g,"<\/p>\n$1"); 
    txt = txt.replace(/<p \/>([^\n])/g,"<p \/>\n$1"); 

    return txt; 
};

This is what I did in pLog v1.0, hope this help. The source format in firefox can keep a "readable" situation.

Regards, Mark

Re: Weird behavior in firefox

After the testing, I think I know what is the problem of textarea height in IE. It seems IE will change the textarea height to (textarea height+toobar height+status bar height) when we change to text mode. If I change to html mode, it will change the height to original textarea height again ..

But, firefox always follow the same height.

Is it a bug or normal behavior? How do I make them the same in IE and FireFox?

Thanks your help!

Mark
