Problems with IE7 - kinda Urgent

[andrewwind]

Hi there,

I'm having problems with IE7 (possibly IE8 too, but haven't tested on it)

When the the image/link that activates shadowbox is below the fold, so that I need to scroll vertically to get to it, the shadow box opens up at the top of the page, so that I need to scroll back up in order to view it on my desktop.

I implemented the solution, suggested by Alper, which fixed the problem on my desktop, however on my laptop i have the problem that I had on my desktop. It was originally working on my laptop (my laptop has a 14inch screen and a resolution of 1280 by 768).

I am guessing everyone else would have this problem too.

I think it's kinda of urgent to fix this if it doesn't work in ie7.

Take care

Does this mean you experience the same problem when viewing the Home page examples in IE7?
Web-accessible example page?

Hi there Wizzud,

Yes I experience exactly the same problem on the car images of the home page. On my desktop it doesn't work, on my laptop it does.

Thanks :)

So apart from one being a desktop and one not, what's the difference between the 2 ...

Operating System, service pack (eg WinXP,Vista,etc) : Desktop=? Laptop=?
Browser type/version/build : Desktop=? Laptop=?
Security (eg. Norton) : Desktop=? Laptop=?

With the Home page examples as a common point of reference, which one works, and which one doesn't?

Hi there Wizzud,

Thanks for the message back :)

The differences are

Operating System, service pack (eg WinXP,Vista,etc) : Desktop= Windows XP  Laptop= Vista
Browser type/version/build : Desktop= IE7 Laptop= IE7
Security (eg. Norton) : Desktop= PC Guard,  Laptop= PC Guard

Thanks

Hi there,

Using the Home page as a common point of reference -

Laptop with vista works fine

Desktop with xp you have to scroll to the top

Thanks

[Wizzud]

That's a pity!
My IE7 (on Win XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3) works fine...

[andrew]

That is strange - is this before or after you implemented Alper's Solution to the css code

I used the Home page as a common point of reference on purpose because it does not have any modifications!

So, given the doubt in my mind that your latest question has raised, can I ask again (just to be absolutely clear):

With the Home page examples as a common point of reference, which one works, and which one doesn't?

[andrew]

Sorry Wizzud, that's my mistake - ofcourse the home page doesn't have any mods.

What I said before, was corrrect

Operating System, service pack (eg WinXP,Vista,etc) : Desktop= Windows XP  Laptop= Vista
Browser type/version/build : Desktop= IE7 Laptop= IE7
Security (eg. Norton) : Desktop= PC Guard,  Laptop= PC Guard

Desktop doesn't work - laptop does work.

On Desktop:

Windows version : ?
Service pack : ?
IE7 version number : ?

I'm sorry to keep pestering you for more information but it's extremely difficult to investigate a fault that I can't reproduce, so I am looking for any differences between my machine's setup and yours. Slightly more pro-active responses might help?

[andrew]

Hi there Wizzud,

The info you requested is

Windows version : XP 5.1
Service pack : 2
IE7 version number : 7.0.5730.13

Thanks for all your help - really appreciated. :)

Hi just to report,

Same issue here winxp sp3 ie 8.6001.1872, (local test and official demo) I had not been updated to 3.0b since I thought it was a widespread problem, but it works fine on vista.

[andrew]

Thanks JG for reporting that :)

Hi there,

Is there a way of resolving this ?

Thanks

[andrew]

Guys is there anyway of resolving this at all.

Try this temporary hack on shadowbox.css, this worked for me on ie8, ie7 tester, ie6 tester, firefox 3.5 and chrome but I had not tested it yet in other OS

Right after body>#sb-container{position:fixed;} place:

html>#sb-container{position/*\**/:fixed\9}body>#sb-container{position/*\**/:absolute\9}

If that does not work try with:
html>#sb-container{position:fixed\9}body>#sb-container{position:absolute\9}
