Description

I sent the following E-mail to the Wt list and am also filing a bug with attachments:

I am reviving this thread about IE8 problems. I had sort of hoped if I waited long enough, someone would fix this because it was difficult for me to provide a standalone reproducer case. Unfortunately, even with a recent build of Wt from wt.git (5/5/10), the problems still remain. So, I went through the trouble of stripping down my app so it could run as a standalone reproducer case.

Attached are three files:

Firefox_ie8_bug_correct.png -- correct rendering of page in Firefox 3.5.7 on Mac OS X

IE8_bug_incorrect.png -- this shows all of the bugs I am seeing IE8 (6 total, possibly all related). I drew callout boxes to point out the problems

ie8_bugs.tar.gz -- a standalone stripped down version of my app that renders exactly these pages so that someone can debug it

If you have any questions, please let me know. I am hopeful that with all I have provided that at a bare minimum someone can tell me what I need to do to my code to workaround the problem and better yet, fix the issues if they are indeed with Wt itself.

Hey Dan,

Definitely the best way to move forward! I've fixed most of the issues right in Wt (in git) except for what I discuss below.

Issue 2) is, according to the Internet, more of a problem of FF than IE. In any case, it requires CSS to solve (see http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/articles/css/legends-of-style-revised/)

Issue 3) requires the following update to your CSS:

select.groupdiv {

width: 100%; /* for IE */

}

(The reason is, setting width: 100% to a 'select' element does not always work as exepcted and I don't know why. Therefore the library does not try this --- but in your case it works fine).

Regards,

koen
