Hi.

I have a little problem with the Class DNNEmptyPane that is injected into an elements css class if the element is empty.  I have a skin pane with an element that already uses a class ie; "PaneLeft".  This class is set to a width:20%.  Prior to DNN5, this pane was disappearing nicely when its contents were empty.  But after upgrading to DNN5 (5.1.4) it looks like the method for removing empty panes has changed.

What seems to be happenning now is that DNN injects a class called "DNNEmptyPane" into the elements Class attribute.  But it does not remove the existing class definition that was already there.  In my case i now have a left pane that consumes 20% of the screen width because it no longer disappears gracefully.  Is this a known issue?.  I have attached a screenshot below that shows clearly what is going on.  IF you look at the Firebug debugg windows you will see that there are 2 css classes attached to the empty element but only the original one is effective.  Does anyone know of a way to get around this problem??

Cheers

It is intentionally.

Please make sure you have the DNNEmptyPane css at the bottom of your skin.css file and you should be fine.

BTW, this should be the same in DNN from version 4.6

The class allows you to set if a pane without content collapses using CSS
(there are also designs where you wouldn't want the pane to collapes)
