Hi,
I've come across what appears to be a bug in the rendering engine of internet explorer when a document is opened by
showModalDialog . Basically any elements that should render to the right hand edge of the window (i.e. Horizontal rules,
100% tables) fall short by around 15 - 20 pixels or so. I'm currently using internet explorer 6 and have created two
simple pages to demonstrate the behavior. My original pages were much more complicated but the effect remains even with
the most basic of documents.
Create a file called Dialog.html and put the following lines within it.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0 " >
<hr>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Save it and then open it in internet explorer. The horizontal line goes from left to right perfectly to the right hand
border.
Now create a page called MainPage.html with the same folder as the previous page. Within it have this code;
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<script language="Javas cript">
window.showModa lDialog('dialog .html','','dial ogWidth:540px;d ialogHeight:450 px');
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Now open MainPage.html with internet explorer and the dialog that appears will not show the HR rule to the right hand
edge, it falls short by around 20 pixels.
The same effect appears with tables that are 100%, they finish before the right hand margin and if they have a
background colour set it will look quite messy. My problem for one of our pieces of intranet software is that we have a
corporate banner that must appear at the top of every page. On dialog pages the banner falls short of the edge by a very
noticeable amount and is unacceptable.
I've coded a work around that basically checks if the current page is a dialog page and if it is it adjusts the table to
make it bigger, here's the code;
if(typeof(self. window.dialogWi dth)!="undefine d")
window.document .all.SmallBanne rTable.width=se lf.window.dialo gWidth;
So if it's a dialog it resizes the table to the dialog width. Actually it's sizes it a little too wide but I'll fix
that very shortly.
So my question for anyone that knows,
Is this a bug ? or am missing something that I should be doing?

It's space reserved for the scrollbar, use CSS to ensure it's not
there.

Ahh, well that explains it. Still seems a bit odd that the behavior isn't the same as normal windows, i.e. it should fit
to the end when no scroll bar and adjust itself when there is a scroll bar, like normal pages do. The dialogs I present
to users are generated by PHP and some may require scroll bars and some may not depending upon the amount of data to
display.
Would your CSS fix just ensure no scroll bar is present (which won't work for my pages) or are you setting some other
property ?
Thanks for your input,
Steve

Hi,
I've been wrecking my brain on what is probably a very small thing.
On the following link i've got a page that does not fill properly to the
right-hand side. As you can see the bannerArea is too short (compared to
the width of the screen).
How do i make sure that the bannerArea div also fills to the side like the
other divs?

While doing this if I try to minimize, maximize buttons on the top,right
hand corner of my form do not do as they are supposed to do. To maximize the

How do I control those maximize, minimize buttons on the top right section
