Description (last modified by haysmark)

In test_TextArea, the width of the red bordered TextArea? is set to 33% so it should resize with the screen. It is instead fixed at a certain width. This only affects the Firefox implementation.

Seems to be a conflict with one of the CSS classes.

I've tried some of the other inline display settings without success. Clearly this problem is a much larger Mozilla bug than I thought.

Duplicate is not the same thing as "browser bug". I'll take a look at this.

The problem deals with trying to set width:33% on the parent inline-block element (btw it doesn't matter if it's <fieldset> or <div> or <span>), and then expecting the child <iframe> width:100% to work. That's just too much for Mozilla to handle.

You can avoid all this by putting the width:33% on the child <iframe>, and make the parent a simple <span> (of type display:inline) with no border or sizing. Note that the parent is just there to bundle the <iframe> with the hidden <textarea>. 

<span class="dijitReset">
  <iframe class="dijitReset" style="width: 33%;">...</iframe>
  <textarea style="display:none"></textarea>
</span>

There are some tricky details though. Style classes like dijitInputField and dijitInputFieldFocused can't be applied to the <span>. I think they need to go on the <body> inside the <iframe>.

I'll attach a patch that gets halfway there so you can see the technique. (There's something wrong in the patch because scrollbars keep showing up intermittently. Looks like we need an overflow: hidden somewhere.)
