[WSG] Sliding doors and Mac IE5.2
Hi, I'm not sure if this is on or off topic. If it's off topic my apologies. I'm using the ALA tab menu (sliding doors) as my main nav. Now I've been told that it breaks in Mac/IE5 into something like this... left tab img - the link - right tab img. Is it possible to get it right in Mac/IE5.2? The page in question is here http://www.mouseriders.dk/ and the css is here http://www.mouseriders.dk/mouseriders.css Thank you Kim ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] Sliding doors and Mac IE5.2
Hi Kim. :-) Your sliding doors look fine in my MacIE5.2, OSX 10.3.5. The icons in the content area, however, take on a stepped effect (like formatted nested code, for example - as if there's increased indentation before each one for the first three, then goes back to left alignment for the fourth - then indented again for the last one. Weirdly, when the text is zoomed to 120%, it straightens out. The only difference I can see between those items is the ones that are indented have some strange (technical, aren't I?) characters in the text of h3. Someone else might have some more scientific ideas. :-) Vicki. :-) Kim wrote: I'm using the ALA tab menu (sliding doors) as my main nav.

Hi Kim Your menu looks just the same in IE5.2.2/Mac as it does in Safari or Firefox. I've sent you a screenshot offlist to see, as there's one little layout anomaly in IE you should see... BTW, I've used the Sliding Doors tabs on a site I built too, and I noticed that IE - both Mac and Win - doesn't support the image change on hover - although the 'on' state is highlighted OK, and the text link changes colour OK. I've given up trying to work out why, and put it down to 'graceful degradation'. Anyone else got any clues? HTH Nick ___ Omnivision.

I'm using the ALA tab menu (sliding doors) as my main nav. Now I've been
told that it breaks in Mac/IE5 into something like this... left tab img
- the link - right tab img. Is it possible to get it right in Mac/IE5.2?
Hey, I think your site looks great Kim :)
One thing though - the clickable/rollover area on your top tabs only
occurs over the text, which feels a little weird. The side links are
fine; the whole block is clickable. You should fix the top ones mate :)
(i think a {display:block; width:100%;} on the [a] tags there should do
the trick.)

I've been told that it breaks in Mac/IE5 into something like this... left tab img - the link - right tab img. Is it possible to get it right in Mac/IE5.2? It looks fine to me in Mac IE 5.2.3 -- but then so do the Sliding Doors tabs used at bloglines.com, and I know that on my home computer, they're broken in the way that you describe. I'll let you know which version I have at home, and if there's a problem, when I get home this evening... or perhaps someone on the list will have a different version of Mac IE 5 which demonstrates this problem?
