Hi,

On some installations of IE7 the panels within DNN 4.8.2 do not work properly.  For example when I am editing page settings and I click on "advanced settings", the panel expands then immediately collapses itself again.

If you play around for long enough, collapsing other panels eventually the advanced settings panel will show.  I cant seem to replicate this at will and was just wondering if anyone else had come across this problem before?


Thanks in advance,

Dave

Hi Dave,

I have not come across that problem before, has anyone else?

To be honest I tend to use the Firefox browser rather than IE when working as admin inside DotNetNuke.

Thanks,

Hi, doing browser compatibility checks, I discovered that most of my modules will not maximise in IE 7. Bit of a bugger. Works perfectly in Firefox. Does anyone have a fix for this or knows how to investigate it? Of the containers that do open (Links module), it opens very slowly, bit by bit. Jessica

Hello,

Could you provide some further information?  I have just tested this in IE7 and cannot see any problems.

In the modules settings I set the module to minimise, when I logged out I could maximise the module without problems, this was on a text HTML module, thanks,

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I have fixed this.

I do admin in Firefox but test compatibility in IE7 for public users.

The containers were not maximising or else maximising very slowly bit by bit for a public user.

I got a fix from page 74 of the book DotNetNuke Skinning and Design by Hay and Walker.

Exact Instructions:

I downloaded the correct container's .aspx file via FTP, opened it with Notebook, added AnimationFrames="0" after the line id="dnnVISIBILITY", and uploaded back to the correct container's folder on the server via FTP.

Now on IE 7 (don't know about other IEs), the container will expand and collapse instantly.

Be interested to know if this fixes other people's problems with expanding and collapsing while working in admin.

Interesting, so basically it has removed the animation, just to clarify for other users, this is the settings for the Visibility token, ie:

< dnn:VISIBILITY runat="server" id="dnnVISIBILITY" AnimationFrames="0" / >

The default speed for the animation is 5.

Er. Spoke too soon, this only works for containers that were displaying agonisingly slowly (links module). The containers which were not expanding at all, are still not expanding (DNN default containers of Repository Blog and Survey). I am leaving them maximised (set to None) because I can't find a fix for this yet. I am guessing it's because I have so many different modules on the page and javascript is having a bit of a hissy fit. (Technical term that).

Just to clarify further, there was no AnimationFrames line in at all initially. I put it in, with a frames of 50 to test in Firefox that I was changing the right thing and as expected it opened very slowly in Firefox, so changed to 5 and there was a significant improvement in IE7, changed to 0 and opens instantly now in IE7.

Jess.

Hi,

Yes it does seem that JavaScript is having a hissy fit but on my installation it seems that the panels affected are seemingly random. What I have noticed is that it only happens on IE7 installed on Vista. All of our XP machines with IE7 are fine.

If anyone does ever solve this please let me know as it is driving me mad

Thanks
Dave
