Troubleshooting: [Closed] Autumn Theme IE7 Feedback Long Answers

Bottom of Page

    I am using Moodle 1.9.2, the latest Autumn theme and Internet Explorer 7. Using this feedback module the Long Answer text boxes that are provided for commenting begin as "skinny, long" approx less than 1/2 in. in size. You are still able to type, however, you only can see one letter per line, but then when you click on previous page or next page and then return to the page, the boxes are "normal" size to where you can read everything that you had typed if anything.

    Is this a problem with the theme or perhaps with the module itself? Do I need to add something to make it compatible with IE7? The same boxes appear perfectly normal in Firefox. I am attaching examples of both the Firefox and IE screens below.

    Could you possibly email me login details for your site? Also, a direct link to this resource. Such bugs are hard to track on my test server.

    Unfortunately, I can't give you access to the live site. We have a test site but it is down right now. I can send you screen shots, copies of the theme files, whatever you need to troubleshoot. Are there certain things you need to see?

    I did some more testing. I changed the theme back to a standard Moodle theme and it fixed the text boxes. I am including a screen shot below. So, the problem is definitely related to the theme.

    Additionally, I tested the Autumn theme in Moodle 1.8.4 and the textboxes also appear fine. It must be something related to the 1.9 version.

    Hope that helps.

    I did some experimenting and found this entry in the old css file for 1.8 autumn theme. I added it to the new css file for the 1.9 theme and it seems to have fixed the problem. I am not sure why but wanted to share it here. Maybe because my feedback questionnaire was originally created in 1.8? Maybe it needed this logic to work?

    textarea {
    width:100%
    }

    I have no idea why this worked or didn't work, but imagine that it has something to do with an inadvertent line of code, either in the module, or in the theme, that is affecting the size of the feedback text areas.

    Anyway, I'm glad to know you worked things out. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
