Masterview devel - Oct 2006 - Admin page doesn''t render properly in IE

it doesn''t handle our layout styles.  haven''t gotten around to
looking at
this in detail, but let''s get it on our radar to fix.  Most of the
world
still uses IE, so it''s not good if our stuff doesn''t render
properly
[regardless of who''s to blame]

I assume that you are referring to the fact that sometimes the table is
shifted down when the browser window is smaller??

Everything else looks pretty good.

I was trying to figure out what makes IE want to push the table down, has
something to do with if the table is going to have to wrap lines but I
don''t
know why it wants to push it down?? So I am still looking at it.

Was there anything else you were referring to?

yeah, just the layout problems where the page content doesn''t start
rendering until you get down to the bottom edge of the left sidebar, so you
have big top area gap where you wanted to see the page content filling in.
 
I assumed IE was just being stupid about floated layouts or something;
didn''t think to try making the window larger, i was looking at things
in my
usual (reasonably largish-size) browser.

Well after spending quite a bit of time looking into it and trying a variety
of things, the best that I could do was to reduce the margin on the right
for IE and this seems to allow the layout to work down a little below 1024
width before it bumps down.

The right side margin was there in case anyone wanted to use a right
sidebar, but since we aren''t currently using that, I just reduced the
margin.

With Firefox it works as it did before since it doesn''t have a layout
problem.

Hopefully that will make it work ok on your IE. I think if we need to
support smaller widths than that we''ll have to spend more time with the
CSS,
but I think it will do for now.

well, probably time to declare (temporary) defeat on this one.
 
Firefox is fine, but in IE 6 on Windows I get the funky rendering on the
home page where the template info page gets pushed down to the bottom of the
left sidebar unless I pretty much go full-screen width on my  1440x900
display.
 
Let''s just put this on a known-problems/todo list for now, I
don''t think we
should hold up the release on this one.

Hmmm. I was testing on IE6 windows and had my window sized to less than
1024. I was looking at the main admin page, where you on maybe the
configuration or other page?

Yes, we''ll have to revisit this, don''t want to spend more time
on it now. I
wonder if it is a problem on IE 7 or whether it renders better.
