As far as I know, it’s not possible in IE because it uses the OS component. Here is a link where the control is replaced, but I don’t know if thats what you want to do. Edit: The link is broken I’m dumping the content <select> Something New, Part 1 By Aaron Gustafson So you’ve … Read more
On IE<9 indexOf() it is not “well” implemented. Try to add this function on your code : if (!Array.prototype.indexOf) { Array.prototype.indexOf = function(elt /*, from*/) { var len = this.length; var from = Number(arguments[1]) || 0; from = (from < 0) ? Math.ceil(from) : Math.floor(from); if (from < 0) from += len; for (; from … Read more
The problem is sub-pixel rounding. When you are designing with percentages there will be times that the math doesn’t result in full pixels (70% of 721px is 504.7px). 721 is arbitrary, but using percentages you’ll run into arbitrary numbers. There’s no avoiding that. Most browsers figure out a rounding solution for you that doesn’t break … Read more
The easiest fix would be to add position: relative; to the outer div. This will make IE7 work as intended. (See: http://rowanw.com/bugs/overflow_relative.htm). EDIT: Cache version of the broken link on waybackmachine.org
IE7 won’t allow you to apply :hover pseudo-classes to non-anchor elements unless you explicitly specify a doctype. Just add a doctype declaration to your page and it should work perfectly. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd”> More on IE7/quirks mode can be found on this blog post.
When using <button> always specify the type, since browsers default to different types. This will work consistently across all browser: <button type=”submit”>…</button> <button type=”button”>…</button> This way you gain all of <button>‘s goodness, no downsides.
In older browsers, you can write a function that will parse the string for you. This one creates a Date.fromISO method- if the browser can natively get the correct date from an ISO string, the native method is used. Some browsers got it partly right, but returned the wrong timezone, so just checking for NaN … Read more
Include this meta tag in the <head>. <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0″> Internet Explorer 8 or older doesn’t support media query. You can use media-queries.js or respond.js to add media query support in IE. <!–[if lt IE 9]> <script src=”http://css3-mediaqueries-js.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/css3-mediaqueries.js”></script> <![endif]–> I think this two links will help you. http://cssmatter.com/blog/ie7-and-ie8-support-for-css3-media-query/ http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/responsive-design-in-3-steps/comment-page-2 Update css3-mediaqueries-js is moved on … Read more
I’ve solved this using jQuery: $(document).ready(function(){ if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version == 7) { $(“.tablecell”).wrap(“<td />”); $(“.tablerow”).wrap(“<tr />”); $(“.table”).wrapInner(“<table />”); } }); the above script assumes you have divs using style such as: <style> .table { display: table; } .tablerow { display: table-row; } .tablecell { display: table-cell; } </style>
You don’t need a Strict DOCTYPE for fixed support. You only need a DOCTYPE that triggers Standards Mode (or ‘almost standards’). That can be a transitional doctype such as: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”> or XHTML: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”> as long as the system ID (the URI … Read more
