We recently added a doctype to our pages to encourage IE8 to use standards mode, and noticed it affected positioning of the checkbox labels, especially in a CheckboxGroup (see attachment: checkboxgroup-strict.jpg). Taking off the doctype fixed the issue (see attachment: checkboxgroup-quirks.jpg). It appears to have something to do with the resizeEl.
Here is the test case:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/ExtJS/2.3.0/resources/css/ext-all.css"></link>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/ExtJS/2.3.0/adapter/ext/ext-base.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/ExtJS/2.3.0/ext-all-debug.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Ext.BLANK_IMAGE_URL = "/ExtJS/2.3.0/resources/images/default/s.gif";
Ext.onReady( function() {
var w = new Ext.Window({
title: "Test Combo",
layout: "anchor",
bodyStyle: "padding: 5px;",
resizable: true,
width: 450,
height: 200,
items: [{
xtype: "checkboxgroup",
hideLabel: true,
name: "description_tables",
anchor: "0",
columns: 5,
defaults: {getResizeEl: function(){ return this.wrap; } },
items: [{
boxLabel: "Requests",
inputValue: "request"
}, {
boxLabel: "Journals",
inputValue: "journal"
}, {
boxLabel: "Solutions",
inputValue: "solution"
}, {
boxLabel: "Calls",
inputValue: "call"
}, {
boxLabel: "Assignments",
inputValue: "assignment"
}]
}]
});
w.show();
});
</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
I tried it with 3.0 and didn't see any problem, so I used the 3.0 getResizeEl() method in an override with the 2.3.0 libraries, and that fixed the problem:
Code:
Ext.override(Ext.form.Checkbox, {
getResizeEl: function() {
return this.wrap;
}
});
I guess since it's fixed in 3.0, this is more of a FYI to the community.
