TIMELINE. Popup bubbles don't stay popped up in IE6 or IE7 #145

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
When clicking on an event the popup bubble with the description appears for
perhaps half a second and then disappears. As the bubble disappears, the
timeline sometimes jerks sideways a short distance. This only occurs on
Internet Explorer (6 and 7) and I've only tested on Win XP SP2; everything
works fine on Firefox and Opera. It also only occurs on the timeline I have
created (http://www.freespeech.org.nz/landmarks/index.php) not on the
project site (http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/) and yet I haven't changed
any of your code.

Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Win XP SP2.

The same thing is happening to me. The bubbles had been working fine in
IE..but then this week they started to close shorlty after opening:

This is quite hard to debug. I'm guessing that somehow the bubble causes a
resize event to be fired, which causes the timeline to re-layout, which
dismisses the bubble. If you have code that resizes the timeline when there
is a resize event to <body>, temporarily remove that handler and see if the
problem goes away.

I commented out the our "onresize" action and it now works like a charm.
Thanks David!

I am glad I found this issue! It gave me the hint to find out what was
happening.

I found another workaround to the problem.

You can also add a div at the end of the page with a height hight enough to
fit the bubble. For example, before the body closes, you can add this:
<div style="height: 175px;" />
