Fake Object Resize

Hello,

I'm trying to build fake objects which aren't resizable (i.e. no resize handlers on them). There is a parameter isResizable in the fake object building functions, but:

On chrome the object is never resizable
On firefox the object is always resizable

No matter what values I'm inserting (true, false, or omitting the value).

I'm using as example the flash plugin code, and I'm having the same issue with this plugin (no resize on chrome, always resize in firefox, even if I modify plugin's code).

I can't find in the source code how the resize is handled... The parameter _cke_resizable is set, but I can't find where it is used.

I suspect that the resize is something related to images themselves (as I can't resize images in chrome, but I can in firefox) and the resizable parameter in the fake object is related only with the fact that image's dimension can or can't be transferred to the real element.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
~Aki

Re: Fake Object Resize

I'm looking into this...I can make it work in IE, but I can't seem to find any applicable event in the Firefox API to watch for. I think the problem is that every browser implements this differently, so it make it really really hard to handle. I can get a patch working in every browser except firefox. So my guess is that the core developers have decided to leave out this functionality until we can figure out a way to mimic the behavior in firefox.

Ok, thanks for the updates.
Right now it's a low-priority issues so I'm not putting much time in it, I'll try to solve in future.
Thanks anyway
