Question IE8 problem with width

This was painful... :blink:

I have a new appriciation for why so many people hate IE and whoever is behind it. Only a semi-monopoly gets away with that many bugs.

Long story short through research and with the help of Ron we found a work around for IE8 to avoid its bug and make the images fit into the layout.

The fix is now going into 1.5.7. We are about to release it to the public.

Sorry for the delay.

Thank you very much indeed! Very much appreciated !

Thank you very much! :woohoo:

1.5.7 is now available for download - including the IE8 fix.

Hope this helps!

I just installed 1.5.8 and it seems the problem is still there. Strange because Kunena forum doesn't have this problem?:

Hi,

I had posted a fix for it some times ago.

So here the complete fix. Open and edit the file kunena.forum.css (components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/kunena.forum.css)

and delete this old code (it is on the end of css file):

/* Fix for Internet Explorer 6*/
*html div.msgtext {
width:500px;
overflow:hidden!important;
word-wrap: break-word;
}

/*Fix for Internet Explorer 8*/
div.msgtext {
width:/*\**/500px\9;
overflow:/*\**/hidden!important\9;
word-wrap:/*\**/break-word\9;
}

and insert this new code at the end of the css file:

/* Fix for Internet Explorer 6*/
#Kunena *html div.msgtext, #Kunena div.msgsignature {
width:520px;
overflow:hidden!important;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
/*Fix for Internet Explorer 8*/
#Kunena div.msgtext, #Kunena div.msgsignature {
width:/*\**/520px\9;
overflow:/*\**/hidden!important\9;
word-wrap:/*\**/break-word\9;
}

#Kunena table.fb_review_table {
table-layout:fixed;
}
