Обсуждение: problem with layout on archives.postgresql.org
hi, i went to http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2009-09/msg00161.php as you can see it contains relatively long, unwrapped lines. the problem is that while my monitor has big enough resolution to display the line in whole, without any scrolling, original layout enforces huge amount of white space on the left side of page - effectively forcing scrolling to see page that would easily fit on my screen. here is screenshot: http://depesz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/archives.postgresql.org.shot.png do you think you could do something about it?

I get the same problem when using Firefox 3.5.5 on Firefox, but it's fine with Google Chrome 4.0.245.1 on Linux: http://darkixion.com/archives.postgresql.org.chrome.png But yes, it is a problem because it's contained within <pre> tags which should prevent line-wrapping. Maybe the following CSS would fix it: pre { white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, supported since 1999 */ white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4 - 6 */ white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */ white-space: pre-wrap; /* CSS3 - Text module (Candidate Recommendation)http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#white-space */ word-wrap: break-word; /* IE 5.5+ */ } Thom

Yeah. Please see this thread with a proposed fix that didn't work for me (I'm no CSS expert): http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/2b5e566d0909140802u30688c4flc20bbbc9a1600576%40mail.gmail.com If you can get it to work, please send a patch ... -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

I understand the point and I think that fixed-width-centered webpages are a stupid idea to start with, but I'm not going to mess around with a core idea of our web design. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
