iframe defaults to height: 150px; in older browsers

[ghost]

Using an older browser the iframe that serves the content is only set to 150px high, making the content difficult to read.

This works:

<iframe src="http://en.wikipedia.org" style="height:100%;width:100%;"></iframe>

This does not:

<iframe src="http://en.wikipedia.org"></iframe>

However there is something in the kiwix webpage that doesn't work when I try appending height:100% to the iframe element. I don't know why.

@tim78245 Which exact version of seamonkey do you use? We need to reproduce the bug first.

This CSS spec is interesting https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#inline-replaced-height

Yes, 150px is the default.

@veloman-yunkan Could you please make this quick fix?

[veloman-yunkan]

kiwix/libkiwix#871 made the situation for seamonkey even worse (see kiwix/libkiwix#871 (comment)). I will try to make seamonkey happy with kiwix-serve's ZIM viewer again.

Regarding the wrong height of the iframe - the root cause is because seamonkey doesn't recognize window.visualViewport:

TypeError: window.visualViewport is undefined[Learn More]  viewer.js:187:3
  handle_visual_viewport_change http://localhost:8080/ROOT/skin/viewer.js:187:3

@veloman-yunkan So, it's a WONTFIX? Uers have to use a recent browser?

No. I have already fixed (or rather worked around) the issue reported in this ticket, but it won't make any difference until kiwix/libkiwix#885 is fixed too (which I am working on now).
