IE8 ignores jQuery UI 'dialog' minHeight and height settings
- by Kev
I'm using jQuery 1.4.4 with jQueryUI 1.8.7 to display a modal dialog box. I'm having a problem where IE8 renders a scrollbar and appears to ignore the minHeight and height options in all the many different combinations I've tried them in.
In Chrome 8 and Firefox 3.6 my dialogue looks like:
In IE 8 it looks like:
The markup and script looks like:
<a id="create" href="#">Create New Thing</a>
<div id="dlg-create-thing" title="Create new thing?">
<form name="create-thing-form" id="dlg-create-thing-form">
<p style="text-align:left">
<span>Name: <input id="thingName" name="thingName" maxlength="12" size="30" /></span>
<br /><br />
<b>Thing options:</b><br /><br />
<input type="radio" id="option1" name="theoptions"
value="0" checked="checked" />Use this option<br />
<input type="radio" id="option1AndMem" name="theoptions"
value="1" />Use this other option
</p>
</form>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#dlg-create-thing").dialog({
autoOpen: false, resizable: false, width: 500, modal: true,
minHeight: 280,
buttons: {
"Create": function () { /* do stuff */ },
"Cancel": function () { /* do other stuff */}
}
});
$("body").delegate("a[id='create']", "click",
function () {
$("#dlg-create-thing").dialog('open');
return false;
}
);
});
</script>
How can I fix this (preferably in a nice browser agnostic way, but I'd settle for anything)?
