Question Forum too wide in IE8

Hi Lintzy, thank you very much...but unfortunately it doesn't work: example

Hi John,

you have inserted into your CSS this code and there are the backslashes \ missing:

But my code looks so (please just copy and paste it and change only the 700px)

Thank you for the help!

Weird thing is, I did use copy/paste first time...hmmm...maybe my editor is spoiling things...

can't check it over here (at work), will check it tonight when I;m at home.

I have attached the right code, perhaps this works better

That's weird... I have disabled my editor in Joomla, add your code to the bottom of the CSS, but everytime I save it, it keeps changing the code back to

/* Fix for Internet Explorer 6*/
#Kunena *html div.msgtext {
width:690px;
overflow:hidden!important;
word-wrap: break-word;
}

/*Fix for Internet Explorer 8*/
#Kunena div.msgtext {
width:/***/690px9;
overflow:/***/hidden!important9;
word-wrap:/***/break-word9;
}

edit: tried to save it with FTP now...hope that works.

Hm, you should download your kunena.forum.css open it with notepad++
notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/de/site.htm
insert my code, save it and upload again.

lol, you are too fast for me...uploaded it seconds before i saw your post.

Seems to work now

Thank you very much!!!!

Weird that the Kunena CSS editor messes up the code you gave???

There were two issues. The first one, was that the kunena.css have been overwritten through joomla tempate css.

I tested old code with backslashes and it would not have worked in this old form.


The second reason, yes, may be the backend css editor causes errors, I will test this. And if it uploads the code without backslashes, IE8 can not see "hey this code is adressed to me" the (back)slashes and asteriks * are the IE8 css hack).
