DotNetNuke 4.4.1

The Active Visualizer feature in Report Module (4.4.2) is really nice; many thanks to its maker. I find that when I use even a very basic HTML Template Visualizer with the column tokens running down the left edge of the page, with no other special markup, the Report Module container grows very... VERY... wide to the right. It pushes out the container so WIDE that it disturbs the alignment of other containers on the page.

Has anyone else had this happen with the HTML Template Visualizer, and any suggestions on what to do about it?

First off, its great to hear people are using the Visualizer feature and finding it useful! The focus for the next version of Reports (4.5) is improving the architecture that sits under the Visualizer framework so that we can develop new Visualizers, so if you have any ideas or want tips on how to develop your own (I am planning a tutorial on Visualizer development soon), please post in the forums.

As far as your problem, I haven't seen that behaviour but I will take a look at the code to see if I can track down your problem. It may be that your template has layout information that is forcing the width to increase or it may be interacting with the HTML on the module itself to cause problems. If you could post the template here that would be helpful (although it may be tricky to get the forum software to accept it, if you can't get it posted you can also email it to me at: andrew.nurse@dotnetnuke.com).

Thanks, Andrew, for working through this issue w/ me. Seems that so far we've learned two things. The white space right-side padding issue is happening only when (1) using IE, and (2) when the Reports Module w/ HTML Template Visualizer is in the Top Pane.

When using Firefox 2, the right-side padding issue disappears. When moving the Reports Module to a pane OTHER than Top Pane, the padding issue disappears.

Meanwhile, I plan to 'workaround' by redesigning my page, moving the Reports Module w/ HTML Template Visualizer outside of the Top Pane.
