When testing the ScriptyLightbox3 action on IE 8, the overlay seems to lose all styling with normal media and completely breaks with Page/URLs.
iFrames have scrollbars and borders (I could be wrong but defining these might work)
scrolling="no"
frameborder="0"
Shadows don’t show
Corners have no radius (This is expected on IE 8)
Action Behavior Notes:
Whenever we define the height and width of either our media or an HTML iFrame, we need to take into consideration the padding that the action includes to create a border effect (16px). If we don’t add the padding into our width and height fields, the overlay squishes our image and doesn’t wrap it correctly.
e.g. If the image is
300 x 150px
I have to define it as
332 x 182px
It’s not that bad with whole numbers but its quite annoying with sizes like 1024 x 768 etc.
Hi All . . . Does anyone have a fix for this issue or is this action not compatible with IE8? I know there are some IE 8 Specific hacks, could these be folded into the action so it would work on that browser as well.
Links, showing the issue, would be a great start. If it looks correct in Safari and Firefox, then it’s valid HTML/CSS. If IE8 renders it badly, then it’s really not surprising at all. I can’t look at this this week, I’m in Portland for RailsConf.
Bernard here, it works fine on Safari, Chrome and firefox. It’s not really a special break, it just seems that the CSS is not supported on IE8. My original post at the top is a little more descriptive. The scrollbars and borders on the iFrames are also showing up which some defining might fix.
I will email you some screenshots offline. Thanks for your help Walt.
