Blog Demo App: Problems with screen painting

Hi

I've taken a moment to run the blog demo app at
http://www.qadram.com/vcl4php/sample...ject/index.php

This is a great example of how easy it is to put together a simple
application. But there is an issue with the text spilling out over
the panel below (thus obscuring the panel for comments etc) when you
enter more lines of text in a blog entry than the panel is sized to
hold.

Take a look at this entry to see what I mean
http://www.qadram.com/vcl4php/sample...blog.php?id=89
I tested this using FF 2.0.

Also, one other minor question (to do with character encoding)
Any apostrophes in the text are replaced by "&#39" rather than showing
the actual character. Is there an easy fix for this.

Cheers

It looks fine in IE 7 and Opera but is broke in FF 3 and Chrome.

Thanks 405

I've just tested it in IE7 and it looks fine.

Unless anybody has an obvious solution I'll take a look later today.
No doubt it is a CSS layout type thing.

I've found a fairly easy fix :)

Setting "autosize" to true on the label that holds the blog text
(label2 on page blog.php) fixes the problem. This will expand the
control's height if more text is required. However, it does not
shrink the control's height if less text is input.

The problem with the quoted text appearing as HTML entities is not
appearing on my server so I think it must be a server setup issue of
the demo server.

Cheers
