NEW POST: Table Captions missing in MSIE8

rhyno — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 18:25:12 GMT

Table captions do not display in IE8, even though they will work in IE 7 and FF2&3(Rc2). They don't display wrong, they just disappear entirely.

XHTML 1.0 transitional (content truncated and altered for brevity):

<table class="thistable">
<caption>Some Caption Here</caption>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>some cell text</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

CSS 2.1 (also truncated td and tr etc):

table.thistable {
table-layout: fixed;
caption-side: top;
border-collapse: collapse;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 1pt solid #000000;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 120%;
}
table.thistable caption {
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0 10px 0;
background-color: #ffffcc;
border: 1pt solid #000000;
}

My style sheet (css 2.1) and xhtml both pass validation tests from W3c. Am I missing something stupid in my code, or is this a bug?

NEW POST: Microsoft needs to quit all IE applications as soon as possible

rathoreahsan — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 08:30:04 GMT

My suggesstions to Microsoft are to must quit IE applications as soon as possible because all IE (5,6,7,8 beta) applications are huge headache for designers and developers. When a designer/developers finish his projects then number of errors (like layout disturbance, css bugs, javascripts bugs and much more errors) occurs in IE browsers which is huge headache for them. Check this link: http://windowsmarketplace.com/category.aspx?bcatid=3500, your own site full off errors in IE 8 beta, while how will you give us a good support. IE6, IE7 & now IE8 all have different standards. When designer make a website he is bound to make stylesheet/css for all IE browsers. What's this?? So my humble suggestions to Microsoft to either quit IE aplications as soon as possible or follow the Mozilla Firefox (w3c) standards with their co-ordination. So the designers/developers feel them tension free.

NEW POST: Vanishing Text in drop down menu's....

MikeL — Fri, 30 May 2008 08:02:21 GMT

Hi. Must start by saying I think IE 8 is a step forward and I like the new features he will offer. The only problem I have to date is that some of the drop down menu's are blank. There is full functionality but I just can't see what I'm clicking on. Tools, Add to favourites etc are involved in this.

Cheers

NEW POST: IE8 problems found

alexZu — Tue, 20 May 2008 18:01:10 GMT

I'm not sure yet and won't spend too much time to investigation, but looks like events handling mechanism has some differences in IE8. I'm running out to the problem with the page where body tag has onload handler defined on DOM level (<body ... onload="LoadBody()"...>). This handler is not called in all cases. The case that I found is: "function window.onload(){...}" in the page's scripts disables body.onload.
Could you please let me know is it supposed to be in IE8 or just some incompatibility?

Myself, I wouldn't use such method to assighn window's onload handler, but this is in the old code...

Internet Explorer 8 beta does not display ninemsn.com/news or www.bom.gov.au pages correctly. Problem appears to be with frames - they overlap blocks of writing.
Secondly, found problem with scrolling pages occasionally, but they may be more site related.
Overall, have found IE8 to be OK on most sites visited.

Has Anyone Else Experianced This Issue? In Addition, The Favorites Sidebar Stays Open, So Now That Everytime You Open IE8 It Crashes. If You Do Not Immediately Close The Favorites Sidebar After Opening Again It Will Crash
