We have ESS 9.0.1.3.8 in development and it looks a lot different from our previous version.

I am trying to do some retrofits and we added address and phone number to the bottom of emppersonal.htm. So, now the grey box that goes around all the fields is too short.

Does anyone know where the length of that box is coming from? All of the pages that have that grey box appear to end in the same place on the screen.

TIA,
Karen

We are in version 9.0.1.5. See screenshot. I copied the code of "Preferred Name" and added it twice at the end (after Maiden Name) and the border moved with it. Are you coding it differently?

We added 7 or so fields - the grey box goes down about half of them. The box itself was much longer than the data that was originally there.

I think the size of the box is set somewhere in a CSS or one of the common routines that are being called. It doesn't appear to be imbedded in the TR or TD lines.

But, I could be wrong - your screen shot shows the box growing.

I copied maiden name down below my added fields and no box.

This may be "working as designed". If you look at the dependent page and the emergency contact page, the grey box only goes part way down the right hand side of the page when you click add or change. Is this how it displays for everyone?

The problem is a mismatch between theme 9 and IE6. In IE7 the box is gradiant, in IE6 it is solid.

We experienced the same issue when we upgraded our applications from 8.0.3 to 9.0.0. Our company was still on IE6 completely, so we changed the theme setting in the essconfig xml file back to theme 8. Now that we are rolling out IE7, we're debating on whether to go to theme 9 or leave it as is.
