Fixed User Profile: Modify User link does not work without Javascript

[Marcus]

Just a short segment of the popup is displayed, the link itself is not clickeable.

Could you show me a screengrab of the problem please?

I had a look at this the other day. I wasn't sure what was meant by "Modify User" link... I presumed it was the "Moderator Tools" menu in user profiles. With JS disabled, occasionally the menu glitches on hover and is unusable, or, more frequently, a link appears but it is not clickable:

JS Disabled:


JS Enabled:



Compare that to the Thread Tools drop down which works with JS disabled.

The thread tools dropdown didn't work with out JS for some time actually. I think there was a change sometime in 1.2 involving display: table. That might be workable here.

However, conversely, we've generally held that moderators should be expected to have JS enabled (like admins).

 

[Chris D]

I don't disagree. You're too kind to normal users who have JS disabled

In Windows 8.1 Firefox latest regular release it looks like this with latest noscript enabled for everything:



In the debugger the elements are displayed like this:

Have you changed the phrase or something? Profile Options isn't something I recognise as being in the core.

 

[Marcus]

Yes my phrases are modified.

I think the overflow: hidden isn't necessary anyway, as it was on a float: right element, which triggers float containment itself. (Though the menu may still go off the right edge with JS disabled.)
