  • Image I have exactly the same problem, as you mentioned, when visiting that page. #-o


    However, you can use a bookmarklet, (> 'Fit to Width') to solve the problem:

    Code: Select all

    javascript:(function(){function%20t(f){a=d.createNodeIterator(d,1,f,false);while(a.nextNode()){}}var%20d=document;t(function(e){x=e.offsetLeft;l=e.offsetParent;while(l!=null){x+=l.offsetLeft;l=l.offsetParent}var%20w=d.documentElement.clientWidth-x;var%20s=e.style;if(s.marginLeft)w-=s.marginLeft;if(s.marginRight)w-=s.marginRight;if(s.paddingLeft)w-=s.paddingLeft;if(s.paddingRight)w-=s.paddingRight;if(s.borderSize)w-=s.borderSize;w-=d.defaultView.innerWidth-d.documentElement.offsetWidth;if(e.tagName=='IMG'){h=e.clientHeight*w/e.clientWidth;s.maxHeight=h}s.maxWidth=w+'px'})})();

OK, so being a bit unsure how to use this code, I pasted it into the url properties of a new bookmark, and clicked it after loading the overflowing page, and it centred everything to fit!!!

Wow, and thanks!! Might save me a few trips over the Edge....

The page centers using Firefox, but overflows in my SeaMonkey, so I just used autoscrolling.

  • Nobody gives a damn about how it looks in firefox. Because, here we are talking about a problem, in the SeaMonkey forum.

  • Image are you talking about?

    Even if you use autoscrolling, the text and images are cut off, and are not displayed correctly. #-o

    However, using the bookmarklet, the page is perfectly centered at any screen resolution.

It is interesting that the page works properly with Pale Moon, but overflows with SeaMonkey, considering that Goanna and Gecko are similar rendering engines. In fact, the page is good with the other browsers I have. The Fit to width bookmarklet works fine, though. What is so unique about SeaMonkey's rendering?
