[Firefox] Skins Database Bug by Chris4 on 01-24-2010 at 02:32 AM

On the skins database, when searching, the error page is appearing like this:

Example: http://www.msgpluslive.net/skins/search/?q=fjogdfjgfji

It only happens in Firefox (3.6), IE8 and Chrome work fine.

I tested in Firefox (Safe Mode) and the same happened, so it's not caused by any extensions.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Exactly the same problem on Firefox 3.6 RC.

i searched random stuff on the scriptsdb and got something similar to your picture

Firefox 3.6

Can anyone still on FF 3.5.x or earlier check if the error happens there too?

I blame it on FF's new tabs sorting method... it's even confusing the DownDB :o.

A bit of firebugging revealed that the problem is caused by the vertical center hack. Simply put: it doesn't work that way.

Here's a much better vertical center hack, using table styles for IE8/Firefox/Chrome/... and relative positioning for IE6/7. I took the liberty to make it a bit more standards-compliant, but I didn't touch the table for the error message so the default style doesn't need changing.

Matti, thanks for the help! This got buried under other things to do, but it's fixed now.

Also fixes the redirect messages after you voted on an item.
