    Blackboard menu item problem FF Rekonq

    Hi
    This situation occured with the latest iteration of Blackboard, a worthless piece of drek which has been foisted upon upper academia because the supposedly smart people have no clue.

    But, the situation is this.

    There is a dropdown menu item which allows one to add various kinds of content to the "student menu".

    One clicks an "add" button to add the content.

    Thereupon, a dropdown menu appears and one cursors down the options to choose one.

    Starting with the new iteration of BB:

    With Firefox, the menu is seperated by about a quarter of an inch from the button, when one clicks the button, and when one moves the cursor down, the menu disappears because of the gap beteen the add button and the box of menu items.

    With Rekonq, when one FIRST uses Rekonq, IN THAT SESSION, the menu box is attached to the add button and one can navigate down the menu box.
    HOWEVER
    In the SECOND use in Rekonq, IN THAT SESSION, the menu box is NOT attached.

    One has to restart the OS for the situation of Rekonq being able to use the menu item repeats itself.

    I have copied the "particular" menu items for people who know what they are doing to peruse from WebInspector. If more is needed then I will be glad to append such.

    The script for the primary button:

    https://eclass NAME OF COLLEGE /images/ci/ng/mini_add_item2.gif

    In the box to the right is:

    .actionBarMicro .mainButton a img, .actionBarMicro .secondaryButton a img {

    And for the primary button there are eleven CSS boxes, here is the first:

    #primaryButton, input[type="submit"].submit, .mainButton a, .mainButton a:hover, .mainButton a:focus, .actionBarMicro .mainButton a, .actionBarMicro .mainButton a:hover, .actionBarMicro .mainButton a:focus, .rumble .mainButton > a, .rumble_top .mainButton > a:focus, .rumble .mainButton > a:hover, .rumble_top .mainButton > a:focus, .rumble .mainButton > a:hover, .rumble_top .mainButton > a:focus, .button-1, .button-1-img, .button-1:hover, .button-1-img:hover, .button-1:focus, .button-1-img:focus {
    background-color: #819AC0;
    border-color: #819AC0;
    color: white;
    }

    I'm not trying to get a "fix" for this it is just information that some folks might find helpful.

    This is posted from the college.

    The rendering with ie IE at the college is correct.

    Using IE the rendering of the menu is greatly compressed vertically with absolutely no spacing between the buttons

    This is to be expected because each browser renders things differently.

    However, what is occuring seems to be more than "just a rendering difference".

    Since it is probably a "javascript" situation, i am appending what I think might be some relevant scripts from view source:

    top of source

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><!-- webapps\blackboard\web\announcements\announcement_ manager.jsp -->

    This "seems" to be the relevant controlling code further down for javascript

    </style>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="/ui/styles/print.css?v=9.1.70081.25-1">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascript/i18n.js?v=9.1.70081.25-1"></script>
    <script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>

    just for informational purposes, no need for a "fix" if anyone wants me to copy and paste more stuff please just say so.

      Are you using 9.1? I can't find any menu that behaves that way in Firefox.
