Comment 2 for bug 1042325

Maybe we collapse the portals on each side and just make them links that people can click on?

Subject: [Bug 1042325] Re: Office links in footer bleed out in ux2 on iPhone

I added Blaise to this so he can see the conversation.

Nat, I made this High and assigned to you because we probably *do* have to think about this before Chipp gets involved. The intranet home page is a pathological case "on the iPhone." In this case it has nothing to do with the iPhone, as noted in the ticket. Instead, the problem is 3 columns on a narrow screen where the middle column is flexible and the other two are fixed.

IMO we should start talking about this before Chipp.

Title:
  Office links in footer bleed out in ux2 on iPhone

Status in KARL3:
  New

Bug description:
  At narrow widths, all the office links become one-per-line. That's
  because the middle column is flexible and the other two aren't.

  This isn't an iPhone bug. It happens also in Firefox on the desktop if
  you make a very narrow browser. One could argue that it isn't a bug at
  all...it's doing what is intended (giving the left/right columns the
  width.

  If we can come up with a quick fix, fine. But we might have to re-
  invent certain aspects of the intranet home page:

  1) That list of office links will never work well anyway...the links
  are too small to hit with your finger by tapping. Perhaps we replace
  it with a drop-down menu, or move the list of links out of the columns
  and into a heading below with the links underneath.

  2) We shouldn't do 3 columns on iPhone portrait. Not nearly enough
  width.
