[Building Sakai] Question about 271 site-manage issue

[Silverio, Gonzalo]

The event is managed by a function in site-manage.js. Search there for the id or the class name of the input.

utils.resizeFrame() can be called after any DOM manipulation that changes the height of the document to make the iframe resize accordingly.

We should probably document all the different ways iframe size is manipulated. I know Noah, Christian, Lance, others have different techniques they could contribute.

Maybe I am mistaken, but it appears the onclick event is commented-out for the course radio button in chef_site-type.vm... I'll try using it.  And yet the behavior suggests an onclick event exists, so I'll look further.

I believe this should resize the containing iframe to fit whatever content is being displayed. You can wire this up to the course radio button using the onclick event.

We have in the past changed this screen to fully expand the term list so users always see the complete list of (5) terms.   I am including in this email 'svn diff' from my 2.7.1 efforts which illustrates what I'm asking about -- see below.  Also reference the SAK-19297 we (UVa) contributed.

We see and like the UI change on the Site Type screen (creating new course site), which only shows the course term drop-down list if user chooses 'course' site type -- but there is one problem for us... the overall screen size seems to be computed based on the original screen contents, so when we display the drop-down list fully expanded with 5 items (so our faculty always see all the course terms), the UI does not resize to avoid a scrollbar appearing and the 'Continue', 'Cancel' buttons can be hidden.

Or some other adjustment I can make to avoid the scrollbar appearing with our expanded course term list?  There is no need for the scrollbar to appear on this page with the current page contents, but I'm not sure how to effect this change in the 2.7.1 code?  (It was not a problem in 2.6.2 apparently because the course term list widget was displayed by default.)
