Polls

[ems]

Is there any way to change the length of the bars in polls? Not only does it look ugly because they're the wrong length, it also breaks my whole layout. Don't know about anyone else. I know it's the polls because if I view entries containing polls by themselves, it's still broken, but if a view an entry without a poll, it's fine

To be honest with you, I can't remember what the poll markup looks like (I've not seen a poll in years!) but I'd guess it's just a bunch of embedded images, in which case the answer is probably "no", unless you can find something to use in a CSS selector for the main bar image.

Alas. Never mind. :)

There's no way to fix the problem where pictures wider than the main bar break the layout? The fact that nobody's mentioned it before makes me think I've done something to cause it, though...

Thank you anyway!

I think it's always been a problem, but it doesn't really do much harm unless you're in IE so most people ignore it. You could try setting the overflow:hidden CSS property on the #main element, perhaps; that should in theory cause browsers to clip off anything that doesn't fit inside the prescribed width.

Ugh, IE ::shudders::. It's so nice to be home with my Mozilla again. I'm surprised so few people have mentioned it, though; maybe there's less IE users than I thought!

Thanks. A few weeks ago I found a script that automatically inserts a cut if a picture is over a certain size - I might see if I can find that again. Cheers for your help!
