Date Posted: 29 April 2006 at 10:08am
When I have the WYSIWYG editor turned on the Quick Reply window becomes transparent (I have a background image so it looks awful!) and the scroll bar disappears.

When I have it turned off everything looks and works great.

I noticed the scroll bar disappears on this Forum too so I don't think it's an upload error.

I'm using Access DB and v8.01

Is it just me, or is there an error?
 
 
Edit to say that it also does it with the Reply window and the Quote window.

Do you have an example as it is hard to tell what exactly you mean without seeing an example?

Screenshots from my Forum. WYSIWYG is turned on in Forum Preferences but when I turn WYSIWYG Editor off/on in my user settings this is what I see.

About the scroll bar: it only appears when you have enough text to display the scroll bar.  For example, in the Quick Reply window, if you have more than 7 lines of text, the scroll bar magically appears. :)

wistex is quite right the scroll bar will only appear when required.

The background problem is due to your modifications in the 'css_style/default_style.css' file, when you changed the look and layout to your forum.

In this file you will find the following CSS style:-

.WebWizRTEtextarea{
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    font-size: 12px;
}

Make sure the background-colour for .WebWizRTEtextarea is set to #FFFFFF for white and you do not have a background image specified for this CSS class

This should then correct the problem, if not, keep messing with the CSS file as the problem is a setting that has been changed in this file.

Hi Borg
 
I have the same thing on my site, but on my site it actually fits so no problem. As to the problem, it would appear that if you put in a background image in the body tag in the css file, then it appears to be applying it to the RTE page (this is probably due to the way css inheretance is handled, could be wrong though), as the css file is included in the RTE page. Not too sure how to override it with a blank image, or to just force it not to display an image.
 
I hope that this helps, or maybe I just got it all wrong. By the way this same thing happens in both IE and FF.
 
Thanks
DM

Yes, CSS can get tricky like that.  You should be able to specify a background image for the RTEtextarea and that would override the background specified for the page.  You might have to create a 1 pixel x 1 pixel white image to use as a background for the RTE, and doing so should override the body's background image.

This is my current settings in default_style.css
 
/* Rich Text Editor */
.WebWizRTEbutton{
  border: #EFEFEF 1px solid;
}
.WebWizRTEtextarea{
 background-color: #FFFFFF;
 font-size: 12px;
}
.RTEbutton{
 background-color: #E6E7F2;
}

Hi donstar
 
What does your bosy tag look like in your css file. I bet that it has a background-image tag in it. I simple way to test to seee if this is causing your problems is to take the tag out of the body tag, and move it into the header.asp file in the includes directory and add it into the html <body> tag.
 
If the RTE now displays correctly for you, then that was your problem.
 
Thanks
DM

I knew that. Embarrassed
 
 
Thank You DM
 
I removed the background-image tag from the CSS and added it to the <body> tag in the header file and everything now displays correctly.
 
Thumbs Up
