Question

Firefox issue: 100% body width stuck at 190px when resizing

Answer 1

A:

I know you said the markup is out of your control, but do you need the table at all? If the popup is the same size as the image why not just have the image?

If I remember my 90s HTML, topmargin and leftmargin are IE specific, so you may need your body tag to be:

<body bgcolor="#000" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

remove the width 100% if you can. Better still, remove all the body tag attributes and do it all with CSS (which will work much more reliably):

<style type="text/css">
body {
    background-color: #000;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
</style>

if it still doesn't work there must be something else on the page causing the issue.

Thanks for that, Tim. As said, I can't change it at this point, but I first need to come up with an explanation why Firefox renders it that way. The reason for the table - I think - is that the image is centered in both directions, even if you resize the window. Well, that would also be easy to do with CSS... mhh. Well, anyways, if anyone has experienced or knows the reason for this sporadic 190px width, let me know - I appreciate any help. :)

I think the best way for you to figure out the cause of the problem would be to try and fix it. So I'd suggest saving a copy of the popup HTML page to your local machine so that you can modify it, and then see what it takes to get it working correctly.
