Fader Weirdness

No, it won't play.  I guess the Javascript wins this round.   :-\

This also happened on my first test board which was 1.1.11, so I guess it's been an issue for quite a while.  Odd little quirk.

Don't know what you're seeing, but this works for me -



#smfFadeScroller
{
text-align: center;
padding: 0 2em;
overflow: auto;
margin: 1em 0;
color: #575757; /* shouldn't be shorthand style due to a JS bug in IE! */
height: 60px;
}



Still loads multiple items on refresh, but height doesn't change.

Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend,
 we were all equal in the end.

I did end up assigning a height to it on the test site (I used Illori's min-height fix on the production site) but it's the gaping open and showing all the news at once on refresh that's so annoying.  Right now, I'm doing as you suggested and just putting all the news in one field and letting the fader just sit there.  Considering what Arantor said, I think I'm stuck with it.   :)

Because they're all in the page HTML, and then the JS kicks in once the page has loaded.

Not great, but not a bug.

It doesn't gape open with that code on my test install.  You can see it briefly loading multiple news items, but the height remains at 60px on refresh, it just adds/removes a scrollbar.  It's not bouncing the board index up and down, which is the really annoying thing.

No, I see what you mean...  it's briefly showing all the news at once, but it's not going into contortions now, when it does.  The page stays relatively stable.  But I can't think why....   I mean, I'm fairly certain I tried every height fix possible, including min and max.  But this makes it much less annoying!  Thanks; I'll keep it!   ;)
