Problem with over-wide message field in Netscape 7.2

by Dave Konkel [Moderator] Moderator - 10/21/06 8:37 AM

In this particular message (not in most) the text bleeds into of the right-side advertisement: http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6130-0.html?forumID=50&threadID=213766&messageID=2285015

The text is ok for ''BA flight 2166 carrying 175 terrified passengers, three pilots and 11 crew plunged 600 feet in a bid '', but the ''to'' in ''to avoid'' is on top of a cream border in the ad, and ''avoid'' is underneath a black box in the ad, and so can't be seen at all. (I don't know about other browsers, except that there's no problem in MSIE)

And count how many things are not rendered at all.

Hint: The Cnet forums are rendered useless.

Is it because of the link/url is extra long in the message?

That could be why

Yes that could be it.

I don't have a problem with my Firefox 1.5.0.7 because I have an addon/extension, (I never know which it is), that wraps long url web site addresses onto next lines without losing the link itself; eg to me the link looks like this;

http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6130-0.html?forumID=50&threadID=213766&message
ID=2285015

But when the page first loads, the wrapper takes a split second to format the link and I can see it and the rest of the post is wider.

The url wrapper is MR Tech Link Wrapper 2.0.4 and can be installed from Firefox here;
https://addons.mozilla.org/search.php?q=MR+Tech+Link+Wrapper&app=firefox

I hope this helps.

Mark

PS, I bet you want to know how I did that long link above don't you?!! devil

messages showing on the main page of most forums, and clicking on one of those links often gives (page not found). Works fine in MSIE (which I loathe!) though...
