[css-d] IE 8 issue upon refresh

2014-11-04 Thread Tom Livingston
Hello list,

Shocking as this may seem, I'm having an issue with IE8.

When I first hit this page it seems to work fine. But after a refresh
or two, it goes blank and doesn't recover.

Can anyone see what I am not?

http://proof.mlinc.com/tl/ie8test/

Thanks in advance.

This was solved. It was a JS issue. Unfortunately.

Thanks, if you looked.

[css-d] IE 8 issue

2009-12-31 Thread Ellen Heitman
I am a web developer taking over the maintenance of my company's site from a
former developer. We recently upgraded to IE 8 and noticed an issue we
hadn't had before.

If you look at the following page in both IE 6/7 and Firefox, it should look
okay:

www.pottersignal.com/search_results.aspx

However, in IE 8 the middle section expands to fill the whole page. Anybody
see what in the CSS could be causing this? I've tried a few adjustments that
don't seem to be working.

By the way, I know the current architecture of the site leaves a *lot *to be
desired. However, I've been tasked to come in and update/clean up where I
can, but am not able to do a complete overall at the moment. So any
suggestions that work with what we've got right now would be very
appreciated!

Thanks!

The markup of that page has several errors (try running a validator,
like the the w3c one:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pottersignal.com%2Fsearch_results.aspx)
Most are probably harmless (many will probably disappear simply
changing the doctype into HTML instead of XHTML).
But the ones related to mismatches in the opening/closing of tags are
serious and may cause differences amongst browsers; you  should try
correcting them.
Indeed the difference in the IE8 rendering seems caused by the form
element which is opened at line 37 and wrongly closed at line 126. If
you close it where more appropriate (~ line 91), IE8 may render the
page more in line with the others.

Change one or more settings in IE6, and get another result...

Same goes for all browsers, so if one wants to know the outcome at the
user-end one better test with a whole range of options and setting
combinations in each browser. Testing only at default or with ones own
or someone else's preferred settings in a browser, don't really tell much.

2009/5/4 Climis, Tim tcli...@indiana.edu:
 Microsoft has actually done something to make out jobs easier there.
  (unbelievable, I know)  IE8 has a Compatability View button in the
 address bar, which when pressed, makes pages render as in IE7.
 So you don't need separate machines, nor do you need to keep IE7.

Don't use this for testing IE7 compatibility. It is designed to let
users attempt to view webpages which would otherwise break in IE8. It
is not designed as a testing tool.

As such it:

(a) Is not a perfectly compatible with IE7 - there are differences.

and

(b) It flags the URL as potentially incompatible with IE8 with
Microsoft. If enough users use IE7 mode, then the URL could be added
to a list of URLs for which compatibility mode is the default for IE8
users.

A new toy has been discovered for Win-machines:

IETester

http://www.my-debugbar.com/ietester/index_all.php

Shows your page in IE 5.5, 6, 7, 8.
IE8 only showing, if IE7 is installed.

I don't know if it's having any issues with javascript ?

[css-d] ie/8 max-width

2009-05-07 Thread David Laakso
When the page is dragged to a 640 window,  the large image should reduce 
in both width and height.

Our new found standard compliant friend, IE/8 does not seem to go along 
with the program in PC XP on a relatively fast dsl modem (the image in 
IE/8 at 640 is more square than rectangular).
IE/7 is cooperating with this declaration:
#d img {display : block; max-width : 96%; height: auto!important; 
margin-bottom : 16px;}

http://chelseacreekstudio.com/ylaakso/yar/projects/k2.html

Can anyone please confirm?

Get the page out of quirks mode (remove the xml prolog) and check again.

If you remove both the width and height attributes from the img tag, it 
works. Remove just the height and it doesn't. Looks like a remnant of 
haslayout :-)

Umm. Not sure what to do. I've been using width/height on images since 
forever. Excess baggage with sometimes image distortion seen in IE/5x? 
Whatever, and either way, unless someone else has an alternative, I will 
take Al's suggestion and ditch the height/width attributes :-) .

Thanks for the test page. Yes, I know.  Mac FF and Mac Safari handle it

Sorry I haven't been able to respond. It seems that you are hearing  
the same thing from other people. Right now I can't unfortunately  
reach the SVN where I saw the problem. What I did see is the hacked  
stand-alone IE even with the proper .dll files for PNG transparency  
started pushing background position items off parts of the page  
(instead of just not working) when a real windows IE 6 imaged with the  
same OS was working. Other stuff was breaking too, elements and such  
to a point that we stopped using it because things would render  
different for each of the customers.

Bug me in a few days to remind me and I'll get you lots of proof ;-)

Cheers!

 So far MultipleIE for ie 5, 5.5 and 6, with ie8 handling 7 (in

 plus: it doesn't contain IE 7

Yes - it doesn't, but the same team that developed it (Tredosoft) have
come up with an IE 7 Standalone version:

http://tredosoft.com/IE7_standalone

It is packed separately, because at the time of release IE7 was the
latest IE version, and you could either have an original IE 7 and want
to use previous versions (multiple IE), or don't want to upgrade yet,
but install just a IE 7 standalone for testing purposes.

Here's one:
Standalone IE6 does not support .png images.
Multi-IE6 on XP with IE7 installed, does.

I shouldn't need to provide urls for that, so I won't. It isn't 
necessarily a rendering difference per the description above, but
it's a proof that Multi-IE6 isn't the same as IE6. It stands to
reason that there will be other differences, with no reason to
doubt that rendering per the above will also be affected.

Ken. Google TinyXP it is a 200mb build of windows that does NOT have  
any IE web browsers installed. Everytime I need to work with windows I  
just copy the 200mb file and put the latest browser on it. I have  
about 25 super small virtual machines this way for testing.  I run  
them on VMware fusion on my mac.   Also check out Microsoft  
Expression, Ive never used it however Microsoft  claims it  
has.versions of every IE including 8 build in for testing.

Id be happy to share my VMs with anyone, there some rule about TinyXP  
( I believe it's free if u ever bought a windows box, since it's  
really only good for browsers.

I'd recommend staying awAy frome the hacked stand alone IE versions as  
the require extra DlLLs and I've noted small variences in the rendering.

MultipleIE was cool, but doesn't run on Vista (in case you use Vista), 
plus: it doesn't contain IE 7, so if you upgrade from IE 7 to IE 8 and 
you use MultipleIE, you won't have IE 7.

Aforementioned IETester is still in beta and might not be accurate when 
rendering for different IE versions. At least that was my experience. 
But it runs under Vista. ;)

Christian

I recommend staying away from multiple IE I can think of 20 instances  
where it will render different from a machine with the real thing.   
Virtualiin is free.

 Virtualiin is free.

I have asked for documented proofs of this before and so far have  
received none! Not even sample URL's. I would appreciate more details  
on those 20 instances.

So far MultipleIE for ie 5, 5.5 and 6, with ie8 handling 7 (in  
compatability mode) and 8 appears to be working as well as (or as  
badly as) ie *ever* works. And MultipleIE is free too.

Re: [css-d] IE 8

2009-05-04 Thread Brian Hazelton

I would listen to the suggestion as is. The reasoning behind what Court
said (whether or not there are 20 instances, could be more could be
less) is because since it is software, you are introducing additional
code than the base code for iE. There could be bugs in MultipleIE and it
will result in IE appearing different than an actual real version. You
can use vmware which, to my knowledge, has an edition that will allow
you to install virtual machines onto your computer for free, please do
not quote me on that though. This would be the best option because this
way you are seeing it as every person using that version of IE on that
specific version OS would see it. The only true way of cross browser
testing would be ridiculously complex and would require having a virtual
machine of every OS you want it to work on with every browser you want
it to work on. If I were you, I would use browsershots to see what it
looks like, it will display a lot more variations than you could on your
machine.
