System Alert Window in Manager Right Frame

I’m having a problem figuring out how to style the system alert box in the right frame of the Manager. Usually it is a neat little box in the right corner of the frame if there is an error. But in my adaptation of the action scripts to borrow the tabs, it comes up much wider than the frame. The box is created by javascript after the rest of the page is loaded, so I can’t figure out how to adjust it.



I did some testing, and it does the same thing in the QuickEdit module if I deliberately generate an error ($test=$dummy to generate an "undefined" error).

Further examination shows the smf module logs the error but doesn’t display the message box in the frame.

Susan, I’ve been getting the same problem in my modules as well. Don’t suppose you’ve found a fix?

I’ll have more of a look into it tomorrow (I’m sure it’s something simple ...)

Can’t say it’s exactly a fix, but fixing the error that generates the message does seem to solve the problem

I found the file that is creating the javascript for the message box. I don’t see what is causing the problem, but I’m not real strong on javascript. The file, manager/includes/sysalert.display.inc.php, was written by Raymond, so I guess we’ll have to depend on him to figure out why it’s not displaying correctly in the modules.
