screenshot of funkified double header lists in IE
Created attachment 148582 [details]
funkified double header lists in Firefox. Notice how 'systems' in 'recently registered systems' spills onto a second line even though there is plenty of room for it to be on one line.
Moved the Recently Registered systems clip to the new list tag to address this.. fails_qa In IE ,Notice how 'systems' in 'recently registered systems' spills onto a second line even though there is plenty of room for it to be on one line. Hmm.. looks like it appears ok on IE 6 and IE 7.. Can you get a screenshot ? verified Verified against stage with both Firefox 2 and IE7. Moving to release pending. UI Enhancements for 5.1 Sat GA so Closed for Current Release. |
Description of problem: This affects both Satellite and Hosted's webui. The Your RHN redesign introduced the concept of having a 'double header' table, where there is one header ('th') row for providing the name of the table, and another header row for providing labels for the table's columns. There is one issue with the list tag being used to render these tables. See, the first header row, one 'th' cell with the name of the table, should always span all of the columns, while the second header row, one 'th' cell per 'td' column below it, should not span all the columns. Because the first header row's 'th' tag is not spanning all of the rows, tables with a lot of columns the table name gets squeezed into a very narrow table header cell, blowing the table out vertically. There isn't actually any way I could fix this in CSS; the column span attribute for CSS is only in the CSS3 draft which means it's pretty much not supported in any browsers. So the only way to fix this is to set the colspan attribute of the th tag for the table's name (the first th tag in a double-header table) equal to the number of columns in the table. For example, the most problematic list with this issue right now is the 'recently registered systems' list. Here is what the header of this *should* look like to fix this issue: <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="list list-doubleheader"> <thead> <tr> <th colspan="6"><strong>Recently Registered Systems</strong></th> </tr> <tr> <th class="row-2" style="text-align: center;">Updates</th> <th class="row-2" style="text-align: left;">System</th> <th class="row-2" style="text-align: left;">Base Channel</th> <th class="row-2" style="text-align: left;">Date Registered</th> <th class="row-2" style="text-align: left;">Registered by</th> <th class="row-2" style="text-align: left;">Entitlement</th> </tr> </thead> I'm attaching screenshots showing the symptoms of this issue in both IE and Firefox. It's particularly bad in IE because the second header row's coloration is the same as the first in IE (IE is missing support for the appropriate CSS selectors for the coloration to be possible.)
