GuMaxDD and IE8

Post by mac77 »

I downloaded IE8 the other day to test my wiki, tested your skin on windows vista using IE8 as the browser, my wiki is v1.14.0. Everything looked good except for one thing, the hover background for the dropdown menu is not working. I verified it with your dev wiki and it did the same thing. I'm pretty sure it's an IE8 bug and I thought MS already fixed it. I could not find a solution for the css fix so, if you have the proper fix can you share it with us? I'm using the document compatibility mode for the moment so my wiki will at least function if someone is viewing it with IE8. If anyone interested with the temp fix, here it is.

Add the code just below the <head> tag in gumaxdd.php

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" >
What it does is mimics IE7 browser when someone views your wiki in IE8.

Commenting out /* filter: alpha(opacity=90);*/ in gumax droppy.css will also do the trick, you will have no opacity for IE but your drop-down menu will work for IE8.
