[Xerte] Re: Using <embed> tag in Online Toolkit

[Ron Mitchell]

Ah no but IE zoom was set to 125%! Sorry should have checked that :-(

 

I just noticed that the status bar menu's appear below the embedded content
too but I guess the simple solution is to navigate to another page before
changing or could the level of the iframe be changed to fix this?

 

Cheers

Ron

Been away so not sure I'm second but...

 

I like the look of this and it seems to work ok (ish) in Firefox and Safari
(see below) but in IE 8 on my laptop (Win 7) the embed window  overlaps the
stage see screenshot at http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/img/iYG.png

 

Also there is obviously a problem when the screen size option is changed but
I guess that's tricky to resolve.

 

As Alistair has mentioned keyboard access seems to vary...

 

In IE 8 I can tab around the xerte interface and then into the web page
content but once navigating the embedded content there doesn't seem to be a
quick way back to the interface again without mouse click or using shift +
tab to reverse previous tabs. I wonder if there could be a common key for
reverting back to the interface navigation?

 

In Firefox I can't seem to tab into the embedded content until first mouse
clicking on that content and then I can't tab back to the interface. Again
maybe there's a key or combination I'm not aware of?

 

More worryingly in Safari 5.1 I can't access any xerte page via keyboard
access. I can't believe that's always been the case so maybe a change in a
recent upgrade or something peculiar on my laptop?

 

On all the browsers when viewing the embed page example and then clicking
the TOC icon the TOC panel is appearing below the embedded content and
therefore can't be seen/accessed.


the IE problem looks like Xerte has had its window sized changed?

The code merely displays an iframe at a set size, nothing more.
