[09:45:43 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> heidi_: hello
[09:45:52 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> hey Justin_o
[09:46:06 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> i just finished testing out FLUID-4150
[09:46:13 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> it seems to be working across configurations
[09:46:25 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> Justin_o cool, that's good. yeah it wasn't a big change
[09:46:35 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> yes.. it's looking good
[09:46:45 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> the only thing that needs a bit more work is the test page
[09:46:58 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> for switching between the alignments and stuff
[09:47:00 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> okay - did you want to include that file in the release?
[09:47:08 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> do we need it?
[09:47:14 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> I think it might make sense to have it in the manual tests
[09:47:22 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> anastasiac: do you have any thoughts on that
[09:47:33 CDT(-0500)] * anastasiac catches up...
[09:51:50 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> Justin_o are you able to fix up the js for it?
[09:51:57 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> if we keep it
[09:52:07 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> it also req's jquery ui tabs... not sure we want to add that in
[09:54:52 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> heidi_: oh.. forgot about it needing the jquery ui tabs
[09:55:09 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> heidi_, Justin_o just showed me the test page: fabulous!
[09:55:12 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> i can fix up the js if you like.. if you would prefer to do it.. you are welcome to
[09:55:17 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> we talked about where it might live
[09:55:34 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> and we think we should add it to the FSS demos currently living in the demo portal
[09:55:45 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> Justin_o please do, trying to focus on UIO stuff. thanks
[09:55:47 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> okay cool
[09:55:47 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> manual-tests is something we want to try to get rid of, so...
[09:56:06 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> and it is a cool showcase demo of what can be done with the linearizatin - very slick!
[09:56:47 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> Justin_o i wonder if we need to add a special style for linearizing absolute positioned container divs... like a fl-layout-linear-absolute or something you would put on something directly
[09:56:59 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> or remove that tab from the demo? not sure
[09:57:57 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> heidi_: i'm not sure.. it could just be a warning
[09:58:10 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> so if you have abosultely positioned elements, this is what will happen
[09:58:13 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> not sure
[09:58:23 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> but i guess it's not nice to demo what doesn't work
[10:00:33 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> heidi_ and Justin_o, if it's a known thing that there are certain things that we don't linearize, and that they shouldn't be expected to linearize, it might not be a bad idea to purposefully leave those elements in the demo, so long as it is made explicitly clear: "This stuff won't linearize". The demos are a form of documentation, so it would be a way of informing users of the scope of what will work and what won't
[10:00:58 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> agreed, good to be aware of
[10:02:01 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> anastasiac: so you think some comments on the page would help
[10:02:28 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> oh, yes, I wouldn't leave the items on the page without a visible caveat explaining why they aren't linearizing
[10:03:46 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> anastasiac: cool.. so i'll make that change to it
[10:05:20 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> thanks Justin_o
[10:08:14 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> anastasiac: do you remember what we've traditionally done for dependencies that are specific to the demos
[10:08:27 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> in this case we are using jquery ui tabs, but currently don't use them anywhere else
[10:08:36 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> hm
[10:09:13 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> the only 3rd party stuff i can see in the demos is chili and that lives inside of the portal directory
[10:09:21 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> yes, I'm just checking that
[10:09:27 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> it is inside
[10:09:50 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> maybe we should move that lib folder outside of the portal folder so that it could serve all demos
[10:10:05 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> the paths to the chili files would have to be updated
[10:10:16 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> yah.. that's the downside
[10:10:20 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> but seems to make the most sense
[10:29:46 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> Justin_o didn't you use jquery ui tabs for the clearfix test as well
[10:29:51 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> are we including that one
[10:49:58 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> maybe, not sure
[10:50:29 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> heidi_: i'm going to be heading home, not feeling so well.. but i'll finish up from there.. so i'll be back online in an hour or so
[10:51:07 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> Justin_o oh no! feel better, ttys
[10:52:02 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> heidi_: thanks
