IntenseDebate making webpages VERY VERY wide
Your javascript is causing my web pages to be incredibly wide. Take a look at http://www.javareports.info/ for an example.
Can you fix this? If not, we need to remove IntenseDebate from our websites immediately.

Inappropriate?Thanks for getting in contact. Isaac, our designer, will be taking a look.
Thanks for your patience,

Inappropriate?Any update? This has made our websites unusable so if it's not fixed by Monday morning I have to remove IntenseDebate from our sites Monday morning so people can use them.
thanks - dave -
Inappropriate?Hi David,
IntenseDebate is designed to automatically resize itself to the containing area where it's inserted. In your case, it looks like the banner ad at the bottom of the page is actually making your page wider, and so IntenseDebate just fills the space already created. If you turn off JavaScript in your browser you can see that even without IntenseDebate, it still loads out to be that wide.
If you'd like ID to load just in the middle column then you probably want to put it in the end of the center TD (within the HTML). That would mean putting the JavaScript embed code right after the bit that reads [hopefully this HTML will come through correctly]:
<h1>ReportMill</h1>
A tool for generating web pages and reports
dynamically
from Java applications.
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
There is a [/td] tag right after the InstanceEndEditable comment which you'd need to insert the JS for ID immediately before.
Hope that helps,
Beau

Inappropriate?Your answer makes no sense for a couple of reasons:
1) It did not used to be a problem.
2) Today it is not a problem (ie, I think you fixed the issue).
3) It is placed inside a <tr><td> ... ID ... </td></tr> where the table is ste to have a width of 800.
It is really weird that you are able to override the width setting of the containing table. I assume this is the same issue you had with the Daily Camera website.
What can I do to insure that your script cannot hose my pages in the future?
thanks - dave -
Inappropriate?Hi David,
Maybe I'm missing something here then, because we haven't changed anything on our end, so if it's fixed now, it's not something we did.
Here's what I see on your site: http://img.skitch.com/20091103-fb57k6...
I'm using Firefox on a Mac. Is that what you would expect to see? If not, and you're seeing something different, could you perhaps send me a screenshot and let me know what browser you're using so that I know what's going on?
Also, tables will almost always expand to fit any containing element (eg an image) which is too large to fit inside them if it has a specified/known width. The width setting on a table applies more to wrapping text than anything else.
Cheers,

Inappropriate?The problem is back on http://www.dotnetdocgen.info/. I use IE8 on XP (in other words, the most popular combination). What I am seeing is the same problem that you had on www.dailycamera.com.
Upper left - http://www.flickr.com/photos/30791893...
Lower right - http://www.flickr.com/photos/30791893...
The centered bitmaps at the top & bottom of the page are centered in this wide display. The rest of the page is in the upper right.
The "Enter text right here!" text box is the width of this gigantic page.
It appears to come and go. As I go to the various sites, sometimes it happens, sometime it does not. I'm going to remove ID from our sites tomorrow because this makes them unusable.
I recomend that you test throughly with IE on XP as that's a common setup and you've had this same problem for weeks at www.dailycamera.com. If you ever get it fixed please post a reply here and we'll try it again on one site if we have time.
thanks - dave

Inappropriate?Hello David,
Just wanted to let you know we're investigating the issue and we take this seriously. We'll keep you posted. -
Inappropriate?Hey David,
I think I've fixed your issue (looking at page http://www.dotnetdocgen.info/wiki_arr... in IE8 running under XP). I wrote a custom CSS fix for your site http://www.dotnetdocgen.info/ which should avoid the extreme width issue. I've confirmed that the issue is not showing on your site. Also fixed for http://www.javareports.info
While I was at it, I fixed some alignment issues with the comment system on these two sites. It should now be perfectly aligned just beneath the article content.
If this fix works for you, let me know and I'll go ahead and fix it for all your 14 installations you have in your account.
Sorry again for the inconvenience. -
Inappropriate?That appears to fix it - thank you. But I have a question, does this mean each individual account has to request this fix? And if so, do we then need to request it if we add a site?
I suggest you guys generate your html in a way that can't do this - on all systems.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Hello again!
I'm still investigating the issue to come up with a global solution so this won't be happening for any blogs in the future, however I wanted to solve your problems before investigating further.
I'll just go ahead and put in fixes for all your blogs now that we know it works. Thanks for letting me know so quickly!
