Thread: Login Page in IE 7

Re: Login Page in IE 7

UPDATE: This thread addresses this issue and it solved the problem for a few people, however I haven't had a chance to try it myself.

CSS issue

Re: Login Page in IE 7

This appears to be a real issue that is NOT resolved anywhere in this thread. It is very odd, and a very good question, that the theme demo doesn't display this issue for IE7. Never the less, it is a real issue.

Whether it is a css or javascript issue, it is a shame that it hasn't been resolved by this time (if not shameful) - IE7 users will account for 20 - 30% of visitors in most markets.

To have that many users unable to easily register is a big negative to the value of this theme.

A well designed well thought out theme, but with one big sour note.

The only fix there really is is opening your stylesheet your using in the styles folder. Grab the style (color) your using. On about line 18 you see this

Change it to this:

So that was all it was? Making .main position:relative; ? Thank you, thank you! That's an easy fix, and works just fine.

Very sorry to report that the cure ends up being worse than the original problem...

Making .main relative positioned causes IE7, IE8, mozilla & webkit browsers (didn't take time to check IE6) to no longer show the list of categories when hovered in #catnav.

IMO, this ruins usability for all visitors. People need to be able to see the categories.

I'm convinced there is a difference somewhere between the demo files and the current version for sale.

Probably the host/config he is using. Has i said before the problem is coming from the JS files, not the browser.

Re: Login Page in IE 7

I've found what appears to be a fix. The hardest part was first finding a copy of IE7 to troubleshoot on since I'm using IE8. I ended up finding a very cool (and free) IE tester which I highly recommend to anyone needing to test all the different versions of IE.

Depending on what color you are using for CP, you'll need to edit the .css file and add the following to the .ins class. In this example, I'm using the default light blue color so I changed the style.css file in the /classipress/ theme root. For other colors, go into /classipress/styles/ and change there.

So it should end up looking something like this:
