Description

with ff3 everthing works great but in IE7 i have problems to display the file-tree and the folders on my site

but on the website http://webfm6.vera-ikona.com/webfm with IE7 everything is displayed!

i think the problem might be my folder names, which are too long to display in the left window of the file manager??
because i tested the file manager containing only one folder with a short name and IE7 could display the folder

moreover, in ff3 i get an scroll bar on the bottom of the window (with large foldernames), but in IE7 nothing is displayed!

is this a known issue of IE7??

mhh i tried some examples - i assume not the length of the folder name is responsible for the error in IE7

maybe a limit of folders is exceeded, which the IE7 could display?

I don't know off hand what is causing the issue. The webfm_build_dir_list class in webfm.module is where the 'dirs' array of the json gets built (the error msg in comment #1). That array would be null if the root path isn't recognized as a directory or cannot be accessed.
