When creating new logbook entries, recent versions of firefox somehow ignore the message width setting.

For example, configure a logbook with:
Message Width = 76
Message Height = 20

Then, create a new plain text entry that contains very long lines.  The text entry box is the correct size, but once you hit submit and view the full display of the message, it is not wrapped properly.  The summary display is wrapped properly, but not the full display.

We've only found this to be a problem with recent versions of firefox.  Chromium, Safari, and old versions of firefox behave properly.

Awesome, thank you!

Wow thanks again Stefan for your kind and prompt responses!!

You need

In JS, you have access to the browser URL via window.location. So you can write conditional code depending on the actual elog command.

I think I know what the answer(s) will be already.. that I will need to address this in JS. I don't want each screen to run/show the same code, other than the ones I want to.  AND I do not want to have to create a custom form for each 'menu option' to achieve this (if possible).

Thanx,

In some of our logbooks, some columns are very narrow, which makes their content difficult to read. I have tried adding a custom css file like this:

But I find that the column width does not change. I have verified via element inspection that the width attribute is active on the correct column (td).

Am I doing someting wrong, or is this not possible?

Well, there I was, eating Thanksgiving dinner, when suddenly, it hit me (no, not indigestion).  I can write a simple program that parses out the latest "Status" from the most recent logbook file -- a relatively easy task, since it's a text file.  This solution avoids having to execute a shell command at all.  GOOOOOOAAAAAAL!!!

As always, I appreciate all your help...can't thank you enough!

All the best,
