I have several websites. One is being created to replace my aging Joomla shopping cart site with the new J1.5 + the Myxx template, the other is a new last minute social networking site using the older template called Media Mogul..but is the current updated template with a fresh Joomla 1.5.9 site.
The issue is the same for both templates and despite several DAYS worth of searching & reading for template specific resolutions...none of which solved the problem I am here to ask if there is a real fix that can be applied to ALL templates to resolve the issue I can not find one.
The problem lies in that dynamic content served by what I presume are AJAX or Java that makes the component page resize without a page refresh simply disappear into the bottom of the site page. Its worse in IE (of course) but plagues all browsers I have tested.
In the Mynxx template the issue is most notable on the Checkout/registration page. If you click the new customer button the page scrolls open but you cant see more than half the page and most importantly you cant see or click the next button...a serious problem when trying to sell something.
The same type of issue is on my other template where again it revolves around my image gallery which allows for AJAX added comments to be written under the image. The page updates dynamically but the content simply overlaps the lower part of the site. The same issue is noticed whenever the preview button is used on my forums.
The problem is the same for every template I have tried, and i have tried lots of them. SO the question that BEGS (me begging) for a solution is one that can fix it for ALL templates and components that use dynamic or AJAX page updates......PLEASE tell me that I have simply overlooked the solution, or that there actually is one??

Myxx doesnt come with Roksameheight build in (or did I miss something?).
So you have to implent and modify it.
I use it in situations like this:
I have a div of class A that contains 3 divs of class B, C and D.
The tallest of B, C D gives the height for A.
I tell roksameheight to get the height of div A and pass them to B, C and D to get the height on one level ...

Well, that would explain the issue with the Mynxx template. I assumed the template already contained it as several other templates such as the Media Mogul had it included. Honestly I have not spent much time on the Mynxx template as I have been busy building the Media Mogul site.

Errr, em OK. Well while I am a pretty good at editing php code and other such stuff, to be honest I am lost on the whole tables and dividers. I know its basic html stuff, but when I am editing those types of issues it more or less comes down to trial & error. Since the problem is the same, but shows itself on various pages for several components I was hoping for a "universal" solution rather than having to edit multiple components, or pages......I guess that would be too much to ask for?
Since the whole problem seems to be centered around dynamic page displays (AJAX) page updates I was thinking about some last night, and not being a "coder" I wondered if the solution may to simply have some sort of "call function" to the samehighth.js script?
For instance, in Kunena (Fireboard) forums if I use the preview button the preview simply runs under the bottom of the page so you cant see the bottom. Would it be possible to "call" or trigger the same hight java function after any dynamic function?..I hope that made sense? If this is possible it would solve the issue regardless of what template, or component was being used. Maybe it could be made into a plugin? Below is an example of what happens when someone uses my gallery applications comment system. The comment is added and simply pushes the content into the lower part of the site. Of course clearing the cache files solves the problem.

I would simply try removing roksameheight ...
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/js/roksameheight.js"></script>
... at the end of the template

Tried that already....No joy on that idea. This issue is not simply related to one template or component, hence my suggestion for a "universal fix" This issue seems to be an issue that resides somewhere between how the Joomla core system functions, and template system.
It seems that virtually every component that updates a page without refreshing the entire page via some sort of script like Mootools or AJAX just pushes the content below the bottom of the site template rather than resizing it. I have simply read too many people complain about the same problem, and while some have found ways to fix it....the solutions usually center around modification of the problem component rather than an adjustment to either Joomla, or the template. I for one do not have the time & patience to fix every component that this issue seems to be effecting.... currently I would need to fix about 6 different components on 2 websites.
There must be a method to fix this on the template side?

I had to return to this ...
perhaps try the following.
#referencewidth {
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden; <remove
}
td.maincol .padding {
padding-left: 8px;
float: left;<add
}
But now we have problem with the left column wich does not expand as the mainbody.
If I remember there is a modified version of Roksameheight that keeps checking the height ...
I just couldnt find that ... perhaps you have more luck ...?
Or perhaps rebuild the structure of the left column with divs? ... - Last Edit: 15 years 6 months ago by Henning.
