Weird Template bug with IE6

[tinmanchris]

See attachment, I'm using the newest MediaWiki with the newest GuMax. It's very very interesting and I've been trying to figure out what is causing it with no luck. Any help would be much appreciated!

In the screen shot, the left screen is IE6, the right screen is firefox.

I'm having the same exact problem. The strange thing is that in IE6 Paul's homepage, looks good, but in my default gumax 3.0 install, I don't have the menu options at the top, just like this image post example. Any ideas Paul? Do we have to tweak an IE css setting?

Thanks

update: I have a partial fix..

in gumax_template.css on this line:
/* need for IE to display as block */
/* * html */
#html #gumax-p-navigation ul li a {
display: block; /* Make the hyperlinks as a block element, sort of a hover effect */
position: relative; /* need for IE */

I commented out * html and added #html and now the menu text comes up but it's not going across, just in an up and down list. At least it's displaying though. Firefox is still fine.

Thanks for letting me know this issue. I just tested my fix in the new mediawiki 1.11.0 and it works good now. You can download the package again from my wiki or download this attachment and overwrite the old one.

Let's me if it fixes the issue .

Paul,
I'm using the 3.2.1 skin and it has the same bug. I just wrote about it on another thread. Can you publish the fixed portion of the code so I can go back through and update it on my installation of the skin. Thanks in advance .

No this is different issue.

I have a similar issue. You can see it by visiting cadopedia.org in both IE and FF. I admit I did tweak the fonts in the .css file.

It looks ok to me in IE 6, please see attached screen shot.

In file GuMax.php for 3.3, find this piece of code:

Code: Select all

<script type="<?php $this->text('jsmimetype') ?>"> if (window.isMSIE55) fixalpha(); </script>

Try to remove them and see what happens, and let me know.
