Hello all and Happy New Year.

I have upgraded my tiddlywiki at Tiddlyspot. [1]
I have made some changes while tinkering with it after a long time of some neglect.
One thing that bothers me is that if I open in Chrome the Tiddlersbar don't look right.
I'm still working on this though. In Firefox all's well.

Feel free to browse around and as always suggestions and comments are welcome.

did you mess around with the PageTemplate or CSS stuff?

Hello PMario,

That's were I am stuck. But then again this tiddlywiki was a Frankesteiner of sorts.
Any ideas either on this group or elsewere I noted down and experimented with.

Now the Page Template I didn't touch that I recall.
My only recourse is to maybe take an empty tiddlywiki and see were I went wrong.

The flexible menue is nice, but the implementation seems to be
tricky. ..


If you have a look at your assigned styles, with FireBug or Chrome dev
tools, you'll see, your flexibleMenu is float: left;

#flexibleMenu {
float: left;
margin: 1em 0.5em 1em 0;
max-width: 25%;
}

and tiddlerDisplay is display:block

#tiddlerDisplay {
display: block;
margin: -0.6em -1em 0.5em 0.5em;
overflow: hidden;
width: auto;
}

It seems FireFox displays, what you want and Chrome shows, what you
defined.

float: and margin definitions don't play well together.

If you play with #tiddlerDisplay {max-width: 82%} you'll see it looks
better with chrome. __but__ this is not a solution, since it fails, if
you unhide the very left menue.

#tiddlerDisplay{ display:inline} isn't a solution too, since there are
other side effects.

====
Depending on your time, starting from scratch would be an idea.
Because, as you can see above, messing around with the symptoms doen't
really fix the problems ....


no solutions, but may be some hints

Hello PMario,

Not a solution but you have made start to think plus now, thanks to you, I know where to start looking.
I will definitely have some tinkering time this weekend.
I will let you know how it goes.

Have a great day!

Good day PMario,


Ok this may be a tad long but here it goes nothing!

Take a look now: http://jpen24mtc.tiddlyspot.com/

After the hints you gave me I think I looked, I saw, and I fixed.
What I did with relation to the flexible menu and tiddler display was this:

On the jpen24FlexibleMenuStyles tiddler I changed the styles below to:

#flexibleMenu {
  float:left;
  max-width:25%;
  margin:0
  }
#tiddlerDisplay {
  margin:0;
  overflow:hidden
  }

So far so good but when I did this it left some whitespace between the tiddlerbars area and tiddler display.
I had to change some css on the StylesheetTiddlersBar tiddler to:

#tiddlersBar {
  padding:1em 0.5em 0.2em 0.5em;
  } 

Like you said...css is tricky stuff!
Now I can see that the defined properties in Chrome show the same in Firefox.
I am very satisfied.

Again a million thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Julio

Cool!

The TiddlersBarPlugin has a little problem, if you open a popup
somewhere in a tiddlers content. It scrolls to top. I did fix this.
[1]

I did a SelectStoryMacro [3] a long time ago, to switch lists in the
mainMenu tiddler. May be this concept is of interest for you. (just
click the little blue squares in the main menu)

have fun!

Mario,

Ah...that SelectStoryMacro[3] is definitely something useful!
I will study it and see how best it will fit me needs.

Best regards,
