I am sending this out to web professionals so they may be able to avoid wasting several hours, if not days, on certain IE issues related to their "upgraded" versions of IE.
I am using a library called WZ_Tooltip ( http://www.walterzorn.com/tooltip/tooltip_e.htm) to handle the need for some custom tooltips on an application I write. This application allows you to customize your tooltips, using embedded HTML, etc. Just recently, one of my co-workers was testing out our application with Winblows 7 and IE8, when she realized that these tooltips are not appearing. I have a previous version of IE8 that I test with XP (8.0.6001.18702) and it works fine. I cannot recall for sure what her version is; but I recall that it is later. Anyhow, this was all very troubling, because many of our clients are likely to be installing 7 on their future machines. Well, there is a workaround that makes it so you don't have to worry about all of the things that micro$oft breaks (until they break this, i suppose). Just put the following META tag in your <head></head> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> It works great! I'm glad some engineers at Micro$oft had a bit of foresight into how their products tend to DEvolve as time progresses. ~chris ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
