SplitContainer sizer stuck on iframe

[ornus]

It seems that SplitContainer? sizer hits the wall with iframes. The only way to resize is to move the mouse around the frame.

A fix was suggested in ​this thread. I tried it, and it works well for SplitContainers? with two splits on Mozilla, but does not work well on IE.

thanks. this solution works. to get it to work in IE set z-index to a positive number. IE might have to be in strict mode before it will work, not sure.

patch fixing the problem based on the solution suggested earlier

Basically dup of #1044 but leaving open since patch attached.

updated patch. added test case.

The patch did not exactly work for me. I have a ContentPane within a vertically aligned SplitContainer, and this ContentPane contained an IFrame. The lid's height in this case was not extending to cover the whole ContentPane (despite the CSS settings), so I had to explicitly set the dimension with:

showCover: function(/*Panel widget*/ panel){ 
    // ..    
    coverDiv.className="dojoSplitContainerCover";
    dojo.html.setMarginBox(coverDiv, dojo.html.getMarginBox(panel.domNode)); 
}

(In [7453]) fixes #1229 by introducing a div to cover the entire area occupied by a splitcontainer. the div is under the sizer
