I just made a cosmetic change to the drugbox. When I came here, the drug box stretched out across the entire page. I was
able to correct that, however, since I freely admit to never having worked on a drug box before anyone is free to change it.
BUT please don't revert, actually change the box.
Here's what [it looked like when I first arrived]
and here's what [| it looked like when I left].
Any flames , send 'em my way :)
The drugbox looked just fine both before and after your edit. However, your changes were not merely cosmetic. When you introduce line breaks into data such as InCHI, it is no longer accurate. So I have reverted your change. If the drugbox does not appear correct to you, the problem most likely lies with your browser, not the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.185.49.174 (talk) 18:48, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The chemical formula wasn't changed, the drug box is taking up the entire page, it shouldn't have to. Again, as I stated above, I have never worked on drug boxes before, however, no data was changed, only the size of the box was decreased, so I don't see how the box can be inaccurate. However, I won't change it back.

Unless I'm mistaken, you introduced line breaks into some of the data. The data such as InChI therefore becomes no longer unique and computer-searchable (the whole reason for the data to exist in the first place). As for the appearance of the drugbox taking up the whole page, I don't see that. I think it is a problem with your browser. 71.185.49.174 (talk) 20:24, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Doubt it, I'm using Firefox 3.6 and so far, this and three other drug pages are the only ones that create a drugbox that fills the entire screen,
This is what I saw when i first hit this page. Compare this with
and notice, the same browser, same session, but this is noticably smaller. Again, on the Template:Drugbox page, line breaks are being used in all examples, so I don't see an issue. Let me stress, since I know that I don't know, I'll leave the box alone.
I had a look at the drugbox using several versions of IE, Firefox, Safari on both my Mac and my PC, and I still don't see what you're seeing, even using Firefox 3.6. I left a note at Template talk:Drugbox, so hopefully an expert can figure out what is going on. 71.185.49.174 (talk) 22:27, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
KoshVorlon,
I saw the note that was moved to WT:PHARM about this. Can you tell me how often you see this sort of problem? I frequently get it for about one or two seconds, until the page finishes loading, but it never stays that way after the page has completely loaded.

WhatamIdoing,
I see it during the page load and once it's done, The current page shows the drug box stretching across the entire screen.
I also see the same thing on Vincristine and Vinblastine. I'm using Firefox 3.6 on Windows 7 (yeah, I know that doesn't really matter, but...) Using Moonbook with a custom sidebar (it's Delta's Sidebar). I haven't seen this happen on any other pages and I do look a lot (as I revert vandalism with Lupin's tool quite a bit).
Let me know if there's anything else I can tell you about this.

InChI is not allowed to have breaks...it's a machine-readable data blob that really is a single string. That's why that field is hidden by default on the chemistry pages: it does tend to make a mess of formatting because it's long and it's not something readers likely need to see anyway. If you go to a page and the InChI string itself is is visible (rather than just a [show] link) after the page finishes loading and rendering, there's something wrong with your browser/css/js combination.
