[Bodington-developers] IE7 Problem Solved

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,
=20
Just an update to say that i've fixed the IE7 problem by generating a
separate stylesheet which removes the * before the html part of the *
html fix. The key is to set up a separate hashtable the same as
author_style_sheets in facility to store the info in. That way you can
maintain 'the change only when updated way of working', even if you
switch browsers. If anyones wants the code then i can post it etc.
=20
Cheers,
=20
Jim

	It looks like bodington needs to check for IE in the stylesheet
and load the Peek-a-boo fix in an extended stylesheet.

			If you remove the * it actually breaks in
firefox...

				I think I've found the problem... see
below:
			=09
				Internet Explorer 7 won't understand the
star html hack
				The star html hack worked in the
opposite way to the child selector, in that any CSS commands that use
this hack are only seen by Internet Explorer. So, to send commands only
to Internet Explorer (including IE on the Mac), you can use:=20

				* html #foo {width: 400px;}=20

				The * essentially means a wildcard (i.e.
it refers to any and every element). The above rule will apply to any
element assigned id=3D"foo" that's nested within the <html> tag (which =
of
course it will be), which is itself nested inside any other HTML
element.

				Huh? Surely the <html> tag can't be
nested inside another tag!? Well, no of course not... but Internet
Explorer 6 and before disagree and will actually obey the above command.
Internet Explorer 7 will however (correctly) ignore the above command,
along with all other non-IE browsers.

				I removed the * from all of the lines in
the section "/* Hides from IE5-mac \*/" of the bs_virtual_author.css and
this seemed to fix the rendering... but it probably breaks it in IE5 for
Mac=20

				It isn't the entry, but the fact that
the size of the row drops below a certain size and then IE7's rendering
breaks...=20

				I've worked out what is causing it, the
style.css has the following entry under the body section:
			=09
				    font-size: 0.90em;
			=09
				If this is removed IE7 renders it...

				Hi Colin,

				See attached screen grab. In Bod 2.6
when you have the resource icon size set to small it seems to render
them bizzarely. It seems fine in 2.8???

				Didn't know there was a problem...
				We have done some testing of WebLearn,
and there didn't seem to be any problems. Can you give us=20
				more details of the rendering problem
with the uploaded file listing you're seeing?=20
