[css-d] Unclickable password field

2006-12-22 Thread Barney Carroll

This is driving me absolutely insane. Under IE6, the password field is 
not clickable. I'm told this can't be anything other than a CSS issue, 
and I'm tempted to agree, although nothing I've tried works.

Any ideas what's screwing it up?

Regards,
Barney

Looks fine on a Mac.

The input tags are not closed which could be causing it. Run it through the
validators first http://validator.w3.org/ and
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/.

If the problem still occurs debug by taking out rules from your CSS file
until you work out which one is causing the issue.

There are two usual causes for this kind of behaviour.

1. Something with a higher z-index is overlaying the element in 
question (but you just can't see it)

2. position:relative has been declared on some ancestor element and 
unless pos:rel is applied to some intermediate ancestor, IE hust 
won't play ball


In your case, it looks like 2. Applying position:relative to the div 
whose class is infoblock seems to fix things.

IE6 needs 'Layout'[1]...

There's an id with no ID or CLASS in #content, and the lack of 'Layout'
on that div makes IE lose track of where is what and stacking-order.

You may either add/correct...

#content div {height: 1%;}
#content h1.DesktopTitle {margin-top: 0;}

...or give that div a CLASS and target it directly with a 'hasLayout'
trigger. That'll make IE6 come to its senses, and probably save your
sanity too:-)

Georg
