Window problem with Firefox

Smart GWT Technical Q&A
1

In Firefox 4.0.1 the header of SmartGWT Windows isnt large enough to contain the close button, that appears cutted in the bottom.

The problem rises also with a minimal test where onModuleLoad do just SC.ask (in that case even the buttons appears cutted in the bottom!).

Anyone can help with this weird behaviour?
In the online showcase everything is rendered properly with the same firefox.

In my gwt.xml I have:

<inherits name=“com.smartgwt.SmartGwtNoTheme” />
<inherits name=“com.smartclient.theme.enterpriseblue.EnterpriseBlue” />

and no external css are loaded: no in the gwt.xml and neither in the .html file.

Thanks.

Hello bebo,
Can you post a snapshot representing the issue?

This is the window appearing with SC.askforValue.
Note the close button and the Ok/Cancel buttons. Everything is missing the bottom part.

Thanks

I found out that the problem is the <!doctype html> declaration, ie Im using “standards” mode.
I just noticed then, that the SmartGWT_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf suggests to use browser compatibility mode. This scares me a bit.

Compatibility mode is historically recommended as giving the best appearance and performance across all browsers, but it shouldn’t be required for pixel perfect appearance in modern browsers. If you’re seeing this kind of thing with the latest code / a current browser, we’d like to know about it.

Can you try with the latest nightly build (from http://www.smartclient.com/builds), and the most recent version of Firefox?
