Firefox upcoming flights

[Decker]

Apologies if repost but firefox doesn't render the upcoming flights popup (the airplane icon on postings) correctly. It treats the CR as a printable character?

I don't know if this is what you mean, but when I hover over yours for instance, I get a little caption showing the flight. So it seems to work fine for me.

Nick, try viewing it in IE, you get a box appear with a list of all of Deckers flights. FF just shows a single line and doesnt reveal all the information. Incidentally its the same in Netscape as well.

And oddly it works in Camino, another Mozilla browser.

I get the same problem as Decker. Using FF 1.0.7

[Pete]

Finally found a solution for this, which was to replace the whole display of the flights list with a bit of dynamic HTML.

This has been tested in IE & Firefox on XP, and Firefox, Safari and Camino on Mac. The only browser that seems to have problems is IE on Mac, but since development of IE was abandoned some time ago, I'm not too concerned about that. It may also work on Opera, et al, but I haven't tested it.

Hi Pete,

There are weird and tags now displayed on the flights popup/layer on IE6, W2k...

[Pete]

Can you check again? - it may have just been a temporary glitch whilst I was transferring code from the development pages.

Nope, sorry - still the same:

Works BEAUTIFULLY in FireFox

[Pete]

Ok, may be a W2K support issue. I'll double check the live code in XP.

Fantastic! Looks awesome in FF - and in Netscape too!!

Works fine with FF 1.0.7 on Windoz 2000 5.0.2195 SP4. Works in IE 6.0.2800.1106IS also on Windoz 2000 as above but very small, almost illegible display.

Oooh - mine's just started working on IE6/W2K.

Swanky new flashy purple thing... Nice. [y]

Pete

What can I say? You've outdone yourself again - superb job, thanks [y][y][y][y]

Woah - just noticed it does the same on the "next/previous page" link at the bottom of threads, with handy hints for what the functions do (try it if you don't know what I mean )


I wonder where else the code is...!

[Pete]

Fixed that Paul - it now behaves itself.

Pete

OMG, it's so happy and purple now, thanks Pix!

Oh, I thought it was a feature! [V]

I was playing hunt-the-purple-boxes for about 10 minutes!
