Miscellaneous Hacks - Limit signature height via CSS

This tiny hack will strictly limit signature height. It will take ALL things what the user have in the signature (no matter what is it ... text, image, video, code ... ) and it will crop it based on choosed value.

Original hack was made by Mazinger, but it was a bit outdated and it didn't work for IE7, so there is a newone for vB 4.x


Installation:
Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> edit additional.css

add following code:

.signaturecontainer {
max-height:200px;
_height: expression(this.scrollHeight > 200? "200px" : "auto" );
overflow:hidden;
}

Change the red number to anything you want :]

I'm guessing there's no way to make it so opening a spoiler would increase the box automatically, instead of cutting it and using the overflow?

Theoretically it shoudn't be a problem. It depends on your specific spoiler tag. Send me a source and i'll try to add a part which will override signature CSS :]

Any idea what effect this might have on a spoiler bar opened to reveal content larger than the space allowed?

A better alternative, with a scroll bar, would be:

.signaturecontainer {
  max-height: 300px;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  overflow-y: auto;
}

It's always smart to avoid expressions in CSS.

This works well - but it adds a scroll bar to see the rest of the sig - I'd rather the sig just cut off so it looks bad and they want to change it. Is there a way to eliminate the scroll?
