News fader height varies

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Not really a bug, but kind of annoying.  If multiple news items have different number of lines, the fader box jumps up and down when it switches from one to another.  Can be fixed by adding cr's to shorter items, but would be better if it maintained same height for all items, based on item with most lines.

Current newsfader has no adaptive height model (unfortunately), that's why i like to change newsfader with a new news holder (I'm currently trying bxSlider).

You can find my work here (SMF 2.1); https://github.com/Antes/kittenground/tree/new-news

Will have a look, thanks.

Just set a fixed height in the css.

If you set a fixed height, the box will either be too big for short items, or too small for long items.  Best thing would be if height were adjusted automatically to longest item, with a max height to scroll very long items.

Ok, min-height then. Or auto overflow. Or height + CSS resize. Or all of the above.

Will try it if I get a chance.
