  • Cursor directly below end of toolbar?

    from Jeff Ross on Nov 07, 2008 02:54 PM 
    Hi,

I'm exploring Xinha as a possible replacement of FCKEditor.  I have a 
working example but something of an anomaly in the text entry in that 
the initial entry cursor falls directly below my simple, one-line 
toolbar.  If I expand the editor to the whole screen the cursor is at 
the left edge of the textarea as it should be, and when I collapse the 
editor again the cursor is also at the left edge of the textarea.

I've put some screenshots at

http://www.wykids.org/xinha_screenshots.html


I installed xinha from a xinha-nightly on September 30, and just 
upgraded to the latest xinha-nightly.  Same problem.

Thanks,

Jeff Ross

    Jeff, do you have the same problem when connecting to the demos  
available on Xinha.org?  If this is only on your embedded Xinha, what  
happens when you start typing?  Does it put the cursor in the correct  
place, or does the text appear wrong as well?  Is there any way you  
could expose this page publicly so I could take a look?

Thanks,
Douglas Mayle

No, those work as expected.

It's just like the edge of the toolbar is the left window edge.  Hitting 
enter takes you right back to the same incorrect margin.

That page is, as you probably guessed, available only inside our lan, so 
I made a test page on the outside web server that exhibits the same problem.

http://www.wykids.org/test/

My xinha_config.js file is echoed to the screen following the submit form.

Thank you for the quick response!

One other thing I noticed.  When I initially installed Xinha I was using 
the default toolbar.  Instead of filling the top of the text area, it 
made a box about 6 lines high and maybe 200 pixels wide.  Now I notice 
on the initial page load that the textarea is huge--like after the 
toolbar is drawn it is missing a page break to force everything down to 
a new line.

My javascript skills are pretty minimal or I'd dig in and see what I 
could find.

If there is anything else I can do, please let me know.

I see what's wrong, but I'm not yet sure why.  I'll try to take a look  
over the weekend...

Just wondering if there is a mis-configuration or something on my end 
that I can change to get this to work.

Thanks,

            Okay, Nicholas and I paried on this and finally found out what the  
issue is.  Xinha panels have their classes set "panel left", "panel  
right", etc.  and you have a css rule for ".left".  EIther you can  
remove it, or you can use the updated Xinha which now uses  
"panel_left" for it's class name.  See Ticket #1332:

I'll take the snapshot, thanks!  I want to use Xinha in quite a few 
different sites, and I think they all have a .left class.

Thanks so much!

Hi Jeff,

I don't know if this will fix the problem or not, but it's a good idea anyway.
Take a look at these HTML errors found by the W3 Validator:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wykids.org%2Ftest%2Fdefault.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

The first three errors are simple enough to resolve, change:

<textarea id="xinha" name="description" width="100%">

to:

<textarea id="xinha" name="description" rows="10" cols="50" style="width:
100%"></textarea>

This is per the documentation:

http://trac.xinha.org/wiki/NewbieGuide

HTH!

Okay, that was worth looking at.  I fixed all 4 validation errors but 
still have the same problem.
