BLS Pop-Up To Far Away in IE [#335321]

Let me make this perfectly clear right off the start....I hate IE! But, when I design a site, I must try it out in IE as well.

Now that I got that off my chest, I noticed while in IE (blah), that when I hover over a scripture link, the pop-up appears about a half-inch above the link. If I'm quoting several verses, the pop-up has a scroll-bar that allows me to scroll down and read the entire contents. This works fine in FF, but IE (blah) just can't get it right. As a result, I can't get to the pop-up window fast enough.

Now I'm sure this is handled in the bible_bls.js. I also know from past experience that if the coordinates are changed for one browser, they will be off in another so, is there a way to add in a "delayhide" to the .mouseout statement? I've seen this before in other scripts...I think it was in anylink drop down menus at dynamic drive. I remember they used a "var disappeardelay=250" in their script. I had it installed once and played with the time delay.

Maybe you've already had this issue before and have addressed it by now, for which all this is a moot point anyway!

Any suggestions?

Dear Sir:
Yes. I encounter this problem for server weeks. And.... sorry, I don't find out how to solve this problem. Digging in drupal documents and get fail. Anyone can help me to solve this out?
Now my solution is to seperate 2 different bible_bls.js for differenct theme. Some theme will move pop-up in right position and some won't. Any idea?

OK, I played around with the width in "Pop-Up Layer Style" and came up with a usable solution. Now in IE, the pop-up comes up centered over the link. I set it to 200 and it seems to work fine.

The only reason I started messing around with the width is because I also noticed that the pop-up window mixed in with my column on the right side (due to it's width..."260"). I already set the z-index in the module to 999 but it doesn't seem to work at all in IE. Seems as though the problem lies with making the pup-up too wide!

I also noticed that for some reason, the bible_bls.css file is not being used. It is listed in the source page but any changes I make do not reflect any difference. All style changes I'm making, are now being made in the module itself!

Oh, BTW: Your module has a book spelled wrong...It's Philippians...not Phillipinians!

Hi Linuxpowers,

Could you tell me where in which file you edited.... I've adjusted all sorts and nothing seems to have any effect on the pop_up.

Cheers!

Not sure if this will work for you as well but, I went to Administer>Bible Module Settings and then clicked on the "Config" tab. Went towards the bottom to the drop-down window marked, "BLS Filter Popup Layer Style"

From there I just changed the width settings to 200 or below. Right now I have it set at 180. I only do this because it still runs over into my side column and they seem to mix together. I tried changing the z-index setting in the bible.module but that still doesn't change anything. Has to be a CSS issue with the theme.

BTW, you can change the BLS Popup window background color, scripture link text background and verse number colors in the module as well. You'll also notice that anytime you reference a scripture from the book of Philippians, it will not work! That's because it's spelled wrong in the module! You'll have to go in there to correct the spelling.

Anyway, hop this helps you out. Write back and let me know!

Thanks for replying. I actually tried that but it didn't take effect immediately so I had assumed it didn't work. But when i checked later it was ok.

Luckily the new bible version 6.x-1.2-rc4 prints out the passage into the content once you save it. Only thing is it prints it out with no spaces between the bible passage and its actual text, and no spaces between verses. So i'm still trying to figure out if that can be decently themed ...

Usually, when I make changes like that I go to Administer > Site configuration > Performance, and then go to bottom of page and "Clear Cache". That's probably why you saw no changes for a while. You should get into the habit of clearing your cache every time you make a change.

I'm not sure what your talking about when you say "prints out the passage into the content once you save it." Are we still talking about the BLS Pop-Up?

If your having an issue in the BLS Pop-Up with no spaces between scripture numbers and scripture....ie: [1] In the beginning..., then you'll have to add a space, ...&nbsp...with a colon, in the module itself. I've tried the css file and it doesn't seem to pay any attention to css modifications.

The problem I'm currently working on is when the BLS Pop-Up comes up with multiple verses, the box disappears when you hover over the scripture number...[1] or [2]!

Anyway, let me know what your talking about and I'll see if I can help.
