IE7 Issue's

Hi Christopher,
 
Do you have access to a computer with IE7 or do you know someone who has it on their computer.
 
The smaller images and some bigger images are failing to show properly on dolphin.
 
Which makes it look rather shoddy in appearance.
 
Please take the effort to have a look in IE7.
 
I’m using Windows Vista with IE7.

I also saw it on anothers computer is this a setting on I.E.7 or a known issue?

Tell him to get in his time machine and get IE8.... Even though I hate Gates stuff, IE8 is far better than 7 (and certainly more secure, if such a thing is possible)

Yes thank you for that and that will adress his issue my problem is dealing with the 1,000's of others I have no idea who they are to educate them on the best reason to upgrade to I.E. 8       So is there a setting in I.E 7 or in Dolphin that can eliminate this error if not an error message needs to be posted on my site in the issue's section......  Anyone on why this is happening?

Believe it or not, but I'm having absolutely no issues with Dolphin 7 while using IE7.

This to me means a setting...........as I have seen it on three different machines.......

open /templates/base/_sub_header.html

search for

<!--[if lt IE 7]>

change it to

<!--[if lt IE 8]>

Now all users of IE7 and earlier will get a message telling them to update their browsers.

You might want to update the following language key too

_sys_outdated_browser_explain

IE7 is bad - Microsoft even admit this themselves - their own recommendation is upgrade to IE8.

Do not pander to the needs of those using outdated browsers - force them to upgrade!!! they are simply holding progress back.

Magnussoft - you should know better then to use IE7 - that is the devils work

/DM/...climbs down from soap box.

If the only place this is happening, is the login popup, you could just get rid of the useless border images.

Make sure you DO NOT have image caching enabled in admin --> Advanced Settings --> Enable cache for images

If that box is checked, it would explain why your screen shot looks like it does.

I agree - these border always appear take ages to load - no matter what. Much better to style them in css. Most browsers support rounded corners now, and for those that don't you can either let it degrade to showing a square box, or use a javascript library to do it instead

Another option is to use a conditional statement to hide the borders from ie7 or earlier - do this in your html file to call a different css file for explorer

<!--[if lt IE 8]>

import statement in here

<![endif]-->

Yet another option is to try something like the IE-7 project- a javascript library that is supposed to remedy the issues you face with explorer and get it to render like a compliant browser

http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/

it's simply an include statement in the head of the doc

If all else fails - simply ban IE users from your site.

If you look at my site, I use the same template as CS.... with a few little tweaks.   The border images on the login popup were some of the first things I got rid of.  I also darken the background, instead of turning it white.  I think my login popup looks just fine without the border images.

Once Again JOE thank you so much I didn't see that info and I hope that takes care of it...........I unchecked it.......

If it was checked, you just fixed the problem .
