[Geoserver-devel] Some issues with the rebranded GeoServer homepage

Hi all,
today I had the occasion of trying out the GeoServer home
page with various browsers on Windows XP, found some issues
at least with FF3 and IE7.

Here are rendering samples:
* Chrome:

* FireFox 3
   http://www.flickr.com/photos/29110296@anonymised.com/2921245363/
* IE7

Chrome rendering is ok.

In FF3 some fonts are just too big,
that is, title and normal text font, especially when compared
with the menu items and breadcrumbs.

In IE7 fonts look good, but the logo is misaligned, and the
OL demo is not working. The javascript error in IE7 just says
"object expected, line 121, column 1"

Hum, the IE7 one is especially bad, since many users are still
browsing around using IE, the FF one is annoying but not fatal :slight_smile:

Cheers

Looking at this now.

My initial results on FF3 differ from Andrea's, but I'll do a more thorough job of replicating his case once I see what regression we've had against IE.

Yep, on Ubuntu + FF3 the page shows fine, I see the font size
problem only on XP

Status update:

The IE7 renderbug Andrea reported was due to stale CSS in his local cache, although it required completely wiping out the on-disk cache (forcing reload didn't immediately solve the issue, on his end). It's possible that there could be some issue with the timestamps Confluence is serving the theme files with. If there are any other reports of this issue, we should investigate in more depth.

The javascript error showing up in IE7 turned out to be an issue with the file at http://sigma.openplans.org/geowebcache/homepage.html and was quickly fixed by Ivan.

I've spent a little while chasing the FF3 text-size issue, and the only way I've been able to replicate (even on FF3 / XP) is by fiddling with wiki-content.css in Firebug. If that file fails to load, or somehow a version is cached which doesn't have a rule for ".wiki-content h2", I can cause the text to be mis-sized. I'll follow-up with Andrea tomorrow.
