Translation problem: original text not in text box

[perwallner]

Hi, I just started using JF and it really shines like a diamond in a gloomy world - well done !
99 % has been just plain work, but I do have one problem that I don't really understand how to solve.
When translating some content I don't get the original text in the text box, but rather in the background, see attached picture.
I can copy it to the translation text box and translate it. I cannot enter a translation for the TITLE since it's 'covered' by the original text. I cannot publish it (that is, I can tick the publish box but when I save it it remains unpublished). Funny thing is, the translation is available on the site, so it kind of works. However, since I can't translate the Title it shows up untranslated.
As far I can tell there's nothing differing between the few content items that behave this way and the vast majority that work the way it should.

Any ideas? Any further input I can supply?

All feedback is greatly appreciated1

Does the original contain some tables, divs etc? It looks like a scrapy HTML for me.

Thanks Ivo,
actually, yes it does include some divs and stuff:
<p><br /> </p><div style="left: 341px; width: 216px; position: absolute; top: 194px; height: 216px"><img src="/gosafe/gosafe/bilder/axis207.jpg" border="0" alt="Axis kamera 207" width="200" height="150" align="baseline" /></div><div style="left: 1px; width: 334px; position: absolute; top: 91px; height: 386px"><h1> Bildhotellet</h1><p>Bildhotellet är en larm- och bevakningstjänst för småföretag och privatpersoner. </p><p>Tjänsten omfattar</p><p><font color="#ff0000">• </font>högkvalitetskamera för inomhusbruk<br /><font color="#ff0000">•</font> enkelt konfigurationsprogram för inställning av larmtider och larmzoner i bilden<br /><font color="#ff0000">•</font> åtkomstskyddad inpelning på extern server vid larm<br /><font color="#ff0000">•</font> behörighetskontrollerad åtkomst till inspelat material från internet<br /><font color="#ff0000">•</font> SMS, uppringning och mail vid larm.<br /><font color="#ff0000">•</font> central driftövervakning</p><p>Logga in i vänsterspalten för en demonstration av tjänsten. <br />Lösenord <font color="#339966">demo</font>, password <font color="#339966">demo</font>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p></div>

whereas 'succesful' articles do not.
Still, afaik the article is created within Joomla, so whatever crappy html is there comes from Joomla I guess.

Anything in the above that could cause this situation?

Code: Select all

position: absolute; top: 194px

Does this answer to your question?

[perwallner]

Ivo, uhhhh... yeaaahh... (aka "so that's how absolute works..." )
Thanks, that solved it altogether; rewriting it all as relative did the trick (www.gosafeab.se)

On a side note, I noticed that the Swedish flag never showed up; it turned out that the JF flag image is named se.gif, whereas the short code for sv-SE is sv. Copying the file did it, of course, but maybe this is a mild bug?

Thanks again,

This is fixed for the stable.
However, COUNTRIES HAVE FLAGS and not the languages. And Sweden country code is SE

Now also one thing. Flags option is a feature, but flags files ARE just sample data. We are not going to add more flags in future.
