I am having issues with my quick reply box in Google Chrome

[doggiestylesaustin]

For some reason in google chrome my quick reply box opens really really wide. It does not do this in explorer and I have not check firefox yet but has anyone had a problem like this. Is there nothing I can do and it is just an error with google chrome our is there a way I can fix this in the css or index. It isn't a huge deal but it is slightly annoying. I am using the So1o Curve Theme. I can post a screen shot if you need to see what I am talking about. Thanks for any help in advance.

okay it does it in firefox too. I kind of figured it would. I hate every browser wants to display things differently and in the process some screw things up. If it works in Explorer then it doesn't work in chrome and firefox. This is just crazy and frustrating. If anyone knows of a fix except taking away the quick reply all together (which I am considering) please let me know. Thanks again.

I suppose there is no width for this quick reply box ...

Maybe ... is this a solution: go to your CSS file (./your_theme/css/index.css) and search for:

Code Select Expand

#quickreplybox {
padding-bottom: 1px;
}
replace it with:

Code Select Expand

#quickreplybox {
padding-bottom: 1px;
width: 50%;
}
The value of the width can be any value

Thank you I will try this I am sure it will fix the problem. Thank you so much!

This is probably an older theme. There were changes made to the default markup and editor.css in 2.0.0 to fix a nasty bug in IE8 (dammit). I can't remember the exact changes right at the moment, but compare the theme's css with the default to see the differences.

Yeah I have tried every edit I can think of to the .css on this thing and just can't get that box to display right. It changes everything but the text box that you type in. That is what I am having trouble with. I have decided to just disable the dang thing. This has been such a pain in the butt. :-) Thank for all the help though.

Which theme are you using? Got a link to it?

[doggiestylesaustin]

(so1o curve theme) do you mean a link to the theme or my forum? I am still going to take your advice and compare the .css to the default and see if I can find the difference.

A link to the theme download. I'm a lazy old bugger.

OMG OMG OMG! THANK YOU! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I took your advice and checked the default them .css. I just replaced the theme quickreply css with the defaults and whaala it worked. I can't thank you enough this was such a pain in my rear and was making me so crazy. What a simple fix it ended up being.

ROFL. Yeah it had to be something simple. Usually is.

This worked! Thanks ALL!

Here's the default Curve Quick Reply index.css that I used to repair a couple other themes with the incorrectly rendered QR box:

Code Select Expand

#quickreplybox
{
   padding-bottom: 1px;
}
#quickReplyOptions .roundframe
{
   padding: 0 10%;
}
#quickReplyOptions form textarea
{
   height: 100px;
   width: 635px;
   max-width: 100%;
   min-width: 100%;
   margin: 0.25em 0 1em 0;
}
