From: Ian Hobson on 24 Apr 2008 09:51 Hi all, Please take a look at http://www.ianhobson.co.uk/test.htm It validates and works in Firefox exactly as required... .... but IE6 makes a complete mess of it. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can make IE play? I'm already torn out at least least half of my remaining hair with this. Nothing I have tried has convinced IE to do anything better. Many thanks Ian

Your conception of "mess" would have helped. If you are referring to the one-row height in IE6, it is because that is what you are telling it to do. <textarea rows="1" cols="1"></textarea> Why the frames? ~10% of your visitors will not be able to use your Send button - those with JavaScript disabled or stripped by a firewall. -- -bts -Motorcycles defy gravity; cars just suck
From: Alexander Huber on 24 Apr 2008 11:20 I don't think you need to bother about IE6 any more, it is an old and very broken piece of software - it should no longer be used. Try IE7, or if you can, IE8beta. Alexander.

I don't think you need to bother about Windows any more, it is an old and very broken piece of software - it should no longer be used. -- Top-posting. What's the most irritating thing on Usenet?

IE6 still (unfortunately) commands a very sizable portion of general browsing traffic. > it is an old and very broken piece of software True enough. > it should no longer be used. In an ideal world. > Try IE7, or if you can, IE8beta. Or, even better, leave IE by the wayside and use a real browser. |
