Viewing Events Icons Floating Bug

[chugger93]

is this normal?

[Geraint]

No and I don't see it in Firefox or MSIE 7.

Could be a window painting problem/your graphics card - if you minimise and restore the window does it go away?

actually if I click on the EDIT icon on the top right, it goes away, and creates the little box with all the icons in it, like it should.

Firefox it works fine. Weird eh? I wonder if its from like uninstalling 1.4.3 or something.

Oh and I tested it on another machine under IE (version 6) and it still floats. hmm

I've not tested msie 6 I'm afraid since my old 9 year old windows 98 machine is about to die.

crap, must be an IE6 issue, cuz IE7 seems to work fine on my Vmware. Dam, my organization all uses IE6...lol

I found the bug. Took awhile but I found it. Not sure how to fix, but I found it, lol.

In the templates directory / ja_purity open index.php

find:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($tmpTools->isIE6()): ?>
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<script type="text/javascript">
var siteurl = '<?php echo $tmpTools->baseurl();?>';

window.addEvent ('load', makeTransBG);
function makeTransBG() {
   fixIEPNG($E('.ja-headermask'), '', '', 1);
   fixIEPNG($E('h1.logo a'));
   fixIEPNG($$('img'));
   fixIEPNG ($$('#ja-mainnav ul.menu li ul'), '', 'scale', 0, 2);
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.ja-headermask, h1.logo a, #ja-cssmenu li ul { background-position: -1000px; }
#ja-cssmenu li ul li, #ja-cssmenu li a { background:transparent url(<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/images/blank.png) no-repeat right;}
.clearfix {height: 1%;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
<?php endif; ?>

The problem lies with this function

Code: Select all

function makeTransBG() {
   fixIEPNG($E('.ja-headermask'), '', '', 1);
   fixIEPNG($E('h1.logo a'));
   fixIEPNG($$('img'));
   fixIEPNG ($$('#ja-mainnav ul.menu li ul'), '', 'scale', 0, 2);
}

Update: To get around this for IE6 users you could just take out the images or comment them out. I tried this and it works great.
