Allow popups to open outside of frame

Answered
Ron Crishan asked on June 27, 2017

Hi,
We have a problem when showing the component in a small frame - all popups are cropped and are very hard to use.
Dropdown menus don't have this problem - they open outside of the frame.
Can you please do the same with popups, i.e. layout, configuration, calculated values, etc.?
See image for examples of both.

Hello Ron,
Thank you for your question. The frame approach which you are using has certain restrictions which do not allow to publish the pop-up windows outside the frame. Such limitations are the direct result of browsers security policy. Considering the fact that the frame functionality was removed from the web browsers standards - https://developer.mozilla.org/uk/docs/Web/HTML/Element/frame we recommend you to replace it with some other solution. Please let us know if you have any additional questions here.
Best regards,
Dmytro.

Hi,
You misunderstood the question.
The frame you're referring to is "iframe".
We don't have any issue with iframe, we have issue with nesting flex in angular gridster component.
We use angular gridster to nest flex component, and we can't open the popup (of the chart configurator, calculated value, etc.) outside of the this gridster.

Hello Ron,
Thank you for the information. For now, our roadmap for the nearest versions is already settled. If the issue is very critical for you please contact our client service manager for more information about the customization project. As a workaround, please consider the idea of increasing pivot component height. It would help to overcome the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Dmytro.
