I ran a site I'm working on through BrowserCam and noticed that on
Widows 2000 in IE 5.01-6.0 the floated sidebar on one of the pages [01]

I'd also like to know if this can be confirmed on a Windows XP box.

It's a IE+slow connection
problem. Simulate it by renaming viewcart.gif to xviewcart.gif (that will simulate a /very/ slow connection)


so this input on the left sidebar:
<input name="submit" src="viewcart.gif" alt="Make payments with PayPal -
it's fast, free and secure!" type="image">

will prompt "Make payments with PayPal -
it's fast, free and secure!" without wrapping in one line to the screen - and that's just too wide for the float - and the float will drop. Unbelievable: your alt text is too long. :)

Hi,

Wow... I completely forgot that alt text was still in there. I had been replacing the generic PayPal cart defaults as I worked it toward validation, but haven't touched it in a day or so.

I've made the necessary change, so hopefully someone here can confirm that the issue has been resolved.

I retested in XP before and after the change. Before the change and after several cache flushes, I finally reproduced the effect under Win XP. After changing the alt text I was unable to reproduce the effect with several attempts, so this looks like it's under control.

That is one excellent catch Ingo. I may have been pulling hair for quite some time trying to find this one. Thanks!

Best regards,
Michael Wilson
