I've seen this too. I don't worry about it, it only happens to me on the initial load of the page. All is ok after I click through the items.

Yup, I have the same problem in IE8. Just run it in IE7 compatibility mode and it works just fine.

Or just get a real browser, like Firefox.. ;-)

I had the same problem. Running in IE7 compatibility mode presented some other problems for me so I added the following to the umbraco/dashboard.aspx file.

 <script type="text/javascript">
  $(function() {
   setTimeout("resizePanel('<%= Panel2.ClientID %>', false, true);", 100);
  });
 </script>

It resizes the panel 100 milliseconds after the page has been loaded. Obvious a temporary solution but I am guessing there will be more focus on IE8 soon anyway.

Why don't you do that on document ready? Then you know for sure that the resize can be done :)

$(document).ready(function() {
 resizePanel('<%= Panel2.ClientID %>', false, true);
});

Hi Sebastian,

Actually

$(function(){});

is just a shorter version of

 $(document).ready(function(){});

http://docs.jquery.com/Events/ready

Anyway the resizePanel is already called once, but that is apparently not sufficient. The resizePanel takes the window dimensions to calculate the panel size. I googled the subject of jquery, iframes and onload events and there are some pitfalls http://www.nabble.com/%24%28-window.parent.document-%29.height%28%29-throws-error-from-child-iframe-to23439894s27240.html

With the above link i mind the following is a more accurate solution, but maybe a little too much for a layout issue of this size.

 <script type="text/javascript">
  window.parent.document.onreadystatechange = function() { 
   if (window.parent.document.readyState == 'complete') { 
    var parent = $(window.parent.document.body);
    var clientHeight = parent.height() - 48;
    var clientWidth  = (parent.width() - (parseInt(parent.width() * 0.25)));
    
    resizePanelTo('<%= Panel2.ClientID %>', false, clientWidth-30, clientHeight);
   }
  }; 
 </script>

Thanks everyone for the posts!  You got me on the right track.  I actually wound up with the following that seems to resolve the issue as well.  I added at the bottom of the ready block that already exists in umbraco.aspx.  

$(document).ready(function() {
  // ...
  // the stuff already found in Umbraco.aspx   
   resizePage('load');
});

Thanks James that was helpful.

cheers,
