Question IE8 problem with width

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;
}

Looking forward to see Lintzy's code in 1.5.9

John had integrated the uncomplete code and not Kunena team, this was a misapprehension of me.

This bug hasn't been fixed because of it just makes things worse.

Fix will break forum layout in IE for every theme which does not have fixed width of about 1000px or has left or right column which will make forum width smaller than 800px.

I will not accept fix which will break all pages instead of few with have large image attached.

This code make no things worse and it does not break pages, that have no large image attacked :blink: But it is right, if you don't change manually the witdh in it, it can break whole template. This width:


#Kunena *html div.msgtext, #Kunena div.msgsignature {
width:520px;[/quote]

You must make it manually smaller or wider to fit it into your template. Some need a width of 450px, others need a width of 700px and so on.

So, like Matias said: It is no good allround solution. But I guess, it could be inserted with some magic php code, like we have in ja purity template e.g. the params, here you can switch the width of your template. Perhaps this would be an option for kunena template too.

Yxos and John, did wide images work with kunena 1.5.7 in IE8?

There are existing solutions to come to grips with this problems via javascript too. Perhaps it is only a little misfunction in 1.5.8 - (if it worked in 1.5.7)

Furthermore:

Does the css code fix it? Would be nice, to get feedback.

Lintzy your an angel! :kiss:

It works perfectly! I don't know if the problem existed in 1.5.7. I use 810's Dutch Ultimate edition (with JoniJnm hacks etc). He skipped 1.5.7

Unfortunately I can't tell you - because I upgraded to 1.5.8 already...
