[Q] CSS overflow fix - G Tablet General

I am new to the Android community. I just purchased a G Tablet and would like to get involved in the developer community. Today is my second day of Gtab usage. I noticed that you cant scroll within a page. I looked around and some people are saying it is not a javascript problem but a css problem.
Does anyone know if there is a fix available or being worked on?
Thank you for any insight.

Thank you. It doesnt look like anyone cares to fix this at google.

Hi,
I asked about this a long time ago, so thanks for that link! I just posted on the issue there, maybe others could also..
Also, when I was emailing the Xscope developer awhile ago, I think he said that all other browsers use Webkit, except for Xscope, but I noticed that Xscope also has problems scrolling w the same pages, so maybe we can email him to see if he can fix it in Xscope at least?

Yeah i posted up earlier in that thread. I have been watching this for a while. Maybe honeycomb will address this problem. Although that won't necessarily help my original droid.

Css overflow fix!!!!
The new firefox RC browser will do overflow correctly. I just tested it on my UOP forum site. You can scroll the overflow with a single finger!!!!

Thanks for pointing that out!
Fyi, I just trled Opera Mobile 11 and it looks like that works also

Opera vs Firefox
Now I didnt play with the settings on Opera 11, but it appears the way it handles the CSS overflow is by altering the webpage to show the entire DIV. So you dont have to scroll. It can make some pages look funny.
Firefox actually lets you scroll within the DIV with a single finger.
Opera may be able to do that too, but I did not fiddle with the settings to find out.
Also Firefox does not have flash support yet. I did not check Opera 11, but I think I read that it was flash ready.

You're right about the formatting w Opera. And yes Flash is working w Opera, but not Firefox.

I have installed and it's rather nice, data usage more than mini bout 2.5x on large pages, it's quick on page load, it's got a neat cube effect for history, got tabed browsing trying to get used to as it has no open in new tab, can't work out how to get to home page without closing or setting as bookmark. Oh and a mouse pointer like mimi.

wow. that helped in no way to answer my question..let me rephrase:
you have used many browsers from what i can tell. how does IRIS stack up next to the others?

yeah, the home page thing is goofy. other than that i love it. i turned off that page overview though. it was annoying me. so far it's very fast. i might use this over opera.

you are a gentleman and a scholar.
i appreciate the quick run down. i guess ill give it a shot...
edit: hahah jeez..i make it sound like its manual labor to download and install....it must be monday...or im that damn lazy and unmotivated.
forgot to mention: i'm running the t-zones on t-mobile.
hmmm, other than having to get use to it and no obvious active zoom in and out buttons...i like it.
Also I'm gonna try and tweak the registry a bit...the scrollbars are WAY too thick.
can't find the registry settings...any help?
it looks like there is code available on the download page. that's not really my area though.

Yeah it was hardcore having to install that .cab, Just wanna congratulate you on your sticky that's slick.
After a bit of use i would say it's nice and free, but does not compare to Opera Mobile or Mini, i could see in the future it could with a little bit of tweaking, Home Page, Open in new tab.
Will keep it on phone and hope updates solve this.
i downloaded it but if i go on you tube press play video it states error the url does not use a recocognised protocol... i have a htc s 620

If your new, what you do is use this button called "Search" button. Every site I have registered for, and trust me - when i say every site, i mean a lot of them be it mobile, car etc. How is that I've always been able to find my way by using the "search" button but most new users will not do that. Give the search button a try and just see the results, almost everything has been gone over.
Welcome to the site and Enjoy your stay here.
To answer your question, it's because you need to install TCPMP (A Media Player with special flash codecs) or search for vTAP for you to play youtube videos. Good Luck!
P.S: Noone is trying to be rude or mean, it's just that some members get ticked off because everyday we have newbies coming in and asking the same questions. Go through the first few stickies and you'll find that almost all your questions have been answered.
i do have tcpmp installed but it still comes up with error i did search but it came up with irelevent answers like unrecognised usb etcs
i think ill give the iris a miss

FLASH WORKS! FLASH WORKS! FLASH WORKS!
HAHA haven't been this excited since the 'ol WinMo days.
Don't expect the speed of Opera, that hasn't changed w/ this Android port....but for functionality, can't beat it.
Beta?
Only one I see says beta after it. Is that it?

FC. will try uninstall-reinstall....
You can also download it from Android Market.
Can't wait to try this, loved it on my WinMo phone.

I tried to post this reply on my phone but skyfire keeps force closing when I pointed to text boxes...
Installed and uninstalled. Slower and more cluttered than the stock browser.
Maybe the full release will be better.
Pass. Plus Flash already works on my phone.
This browser seems better than stock, but not as fast as Dolphin overall. Better Flash support sounds good to me though.
This browser is the closest I have come to being able to play my Slingbox on Android... The Slingbox website thinks I am on Mac OSX.
Despite not being rejected at the directory page(like every other android browser), it doesn't show my Slingbox.
i got the daily show to play from it's website so I'm happy, hulu = fail and so does abc.com shows

Off Topic, but along these lines.
The Facebook touch website says "Download facebook for your Ruth" instead of "Download facebook for your Hero"
WTF is that about???? LOL
out of all the browsers,
great for speed-opera
great versatility-dolphin
ease of use-stock
sky fire is okay but its not better than any of these in their respective categories
on a side note has anyone tried fennec(firefox mobile) i cant get it started
What I'm stoked and waiting anxiously for is Opera Mobile. Loved it on my Vogue and dont see why I wouldnt on my Hero.

That's probably due to the fact that all your data is being sent through a Skyfire proxy. Yup. You're revealing your browsing habits and data to Skyfire.
Yeah, the way skyfire works is that everything is rendered on their server and then sent to your phone. So, websites that detect hardware or location will end up detecting skyfire's hardware and location instead of yours. It also means that a copy of your facebook page is now cached on skyfire's server!

website keeps craahing browser?

Okay. I keep going to q certain website and I keeps crashing the browser. Can you tell me why?
And don't worry its not a nws site. Its actually a bicycle site. HR is the URL: www.surlybikes.com
Huh. Its not just you. Tested it on mine, crashed too. lol. I took a peek at the source, and I think it might be the javascript in the page or something. But I'm no JS expert. HTML, away! lol

I'm wondering if there is an alternative browser or perhaps this could be solved by a simple setting or a plugin?
Crashes for me too... seems to work fine in Opera Mini though

[Q] XDA homepage is looking weird.

Hi, I have been getting this 'weird look' for the XDA-developer (dot) com homepage. I tried both (the latest stable) chrome and (latest stable) firefox. It has been like this for about a week now. All other pages (portal, forum, wiki, etc) look normal but just the homepage is seemingly broken.
The moment I signed up to answer the question, the homepage is back to normal now. It is now back to normal on firefox too.
What freakish sorcery is this? My intention with this query is more of curiosity. Why does this happen? It is also happening with the dell.com (worldwide) website. What is technically (possibly) going wrong behind the scenes here?
Thanks in advance. :good:
I have the same issue. I don't know about Firefox, but on chrome you just have to click the shield icon in the address bar and click on whatever option comes up there (I can't remember exactly what it says but it should be fairly obvious) and it should sort refresh the page in the correct layout. Annoyingly, AFAIK you're going to have to do this every time you visit the portal.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
I haven't been getting this issue, but I've seen it before.
I'm not a web developer, but maybe CSS style information not loading correctly ?
When I get this issue, refreshing the page usually works for me. I get it when our connection lags, too - and doesn't load everything (er, I think that's what's going on, anyway).
That fixed the error!

Thanks! That fixed the error. Wow! So its cause Chrome detects xda-dev homepage having 'insecure content'. I hope xda site admins do something about this soon cause its super annoying!

+1, I think it may be something to do with one of the plugins I have installed, since on another laptop on chrome there seems to be no issue.
Excellent Suggestion!

You were right. Its being caused by the 'HTTPS Everywhere' extension. When I disable, it, the page loads correctly. I had that installed on my firefox too. I hope XDA soon moves their complete website to HTTPS. The extension doesn't seem to have any settings where I can acknowledge an exception.

Of course, I have the same plugin installed I CBA to disable/uninstall it right now, but at least I know what's causing the issue.

Dolphin browser on nexus 5?

I don't like wasting peoples time so I have searched and I can't find a answer, basically I am using dolphin browser on my new 5 and the double tap to zoom and the pinch to zoom don't work. I have cleared the cache and reinstalled but is still the same.
Are there any other 5 users having this problem?
Thanks again.

Has Dolphin been updated for 4.4?

Yes, the jetpack has been updated and fixes the 4.4 issues. Dolphin has been my goto browser for at least the past year. Every time I have tried something else I always return to Dolphin.
I had the same issue, I installed their Dolphin beta (it shows up as a different app in the Play Store) ..they have it fixed.

Wow this guy knows how to search and make me feel like a right plank!
Thanks very much for time fella, I have now tryed jet pack but still no work is. I guess I will have to try and get used to crome until it gets a update.
Thanks again.
The updated KitKat 4.4 update for Boat Browser and Dolphin Browser are now working on my Nexus 5 running stock rom & kernel. Dolphin with Jetpack runs nice in full screen mode but BB will not run full screen, feedbacks sent to developer via Play Store. Chrome does run full mobile screen.
Just a quick update I uninstalled both jet pack and the normal dolphin browser and then installed jet pack first and was prompted to install the normal browser from the play store and now tap and pinch to zoom work OK!
Problem sorted thanks everyone.

I just happened to be following that thread already, that's how I knew it existed. The search function is often very unhelpful on XDA. I have better luck using Google search and looking at results from XDA pages that way.
