We are setting a editor to be 100% width via css due to the known issue below. Which works but the "edit field" does not get 100% width and therefore you can only touch a portion of the control to get it to focus. When you set the 2nd line to 100% then when you type in the field the text does not appear on the screen. Since we are using the ASP.NET MVC wrappers to build the control it is being wrapped in a span. What is the best way to get this control to function properly with 100% width via css since you cannot pass "100%" to the width property of the MVC Wrapper??
.ui-ig-edit {width: 100% !important; height:25px;}
.ui-ig-edit > .ui-igedit-field {width: auto !important; text-align:left !important;}
This is from the known issues:
Width and height options can be set only absolutely (in pixels) under certain conditions
If the editor’s base element is not an <input> or <textarea> element and buttons, theme, or renderInContainer options are enabled, then the width and height options can be set only absolutely (in pixels).
Workaround
Hi Tammy Wohlrabe,
Could you please let me know what version of IgniteUI you are using here? Could you also please provide a sample of the TextEditor's code you are using? I'm testing with Infragistics.Web.Mvc.dll 4.14.1.2031 and the editor is not being rendered inside a span. I am able to get the input to expand to 100% width of its container in my sample.
One thing I noticed in the CSS you provided was that you are using ".ui-ig-edit". I am assuming this is a class on the span you are seeing and in my sample, I only see ".ui-igedit". Please make sure you are also referencing the correct class here. Here is the following code I am using:
<style type="text/css"> .ui-igedit {width: 100% !important; height:25px;} </style> </head> <body> <div style="width: 900px"> @(Html.Infragistics().TextEditorFor(m => m.ProductName) .NullText("Enter Value") .Render() ) </div> </body>
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Michael,
Were you able to reproduce this after my post yesterday?
Hi Tammy,
Thanks for the update. I am able to see this issue when I set the parent div to 99%.
I am still waiting to hear back from my supervisor on this issue. I will have another update for you by tomorrow.
Yeah I think I was mistaken there. If you change it to 99% though and shrink the screen you will see the issue where the text disappears from the edit. If we could fix that then I could go back to how I originally did this if it makes more sense to go that way.
The reason the text disappears is because the input is too long when the clear button is included. This is forcing the input (and the text in it) to render on another line, which is out of view.
I am currently discussing with our developers how we can get around this part of the issue. One workaround for now, would be to not use the any button types. And if you would still need the clear button, you could add an additional button manually to clear the text when clicked.
I will have more information on this for you tomorrow.
I am still waiting to hear back from our developers on this.
I will have another update for you tomorrow.
I am still waiting to hear from our developers and I have raised this with our Product Management team so this will receive some more attention.
If I do not hear from them by Monday morning I am going to follow up with them again.
Thanks for escalating things. I look forward to hearing from you today!
