Bug 18278 – Webkit will not render an HTML/JS toolbar

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[Stephen Bradley]

Using the Army Knowledge Online site, there is an area for storing/versioning files.  When in the file area, a toolbar is supposed to appear with functions to create folders, add files, checkout/in, etc.

IE, Firefox and Opera all render this toolbar correctly, but Safari and Webkit do not, they just leave a blank horizontal space where the toolbar should be.  Without the toolbar, the files area is unusable.

The website code is fairly complex and I'm not able to track down exactly where the problem is.  I have a web archive of the page and will upload it if that functionality exists on the bug reporter.

The affected page for this bug is restricted to DoD employees, but the webarchive appears to give all the parts needed to reproduce the problem.
If there is more information/code that I can provide, please let me know!

One last comment:  looking at the web archive, the toolbar should be rendering in the white space directly below the "Army Knowledge Online" logo.

Also, it's obviously possible that this bug is related to poor website programming.  I'm submitting it because it renders properly in 3 out of 4 browsers tested (anything not webkit based).  If the error is in the web page though, and we can identify it, I will submit it for correction.
