Hi, I've inherited a system that uses the timeline package to display a timeline. I've been wrestling with a bug in IE 8 where the link in a pop-up bubble cannot be clicked. After a few hours, I've narrowed it down to a specific problem: if the timeline div does not appear on the page originally (in other words, it has to be scrolled to), then the pop-up bubble links do not work.
I've put two examples up: - http://steveshaw.ca/samples/TimelinePage.html works for me in IE8 - http://steveshaw.ca/samples/TimelinePageBroken.html does not work in IE 8 These are simplified from the code I'm actually using but demonstrate the problem. The only difference between the pages is the height of the spacer div - in the working example, it's 500px and in the broken example it's 900 px. That's enough on my current setup to force a scroll to see the timeline. When I try to click on the link in the pop-up, nothing happens (except the pop-up disappearing). If I view the broken page with a "tall" screen I don't see the error. Another way to recreate the error is to resize the browser to a smaller screen and load the working page. It no longer works once I scroll to the div containing the timeline. Both pages work as expected in Firefox. Any ideas or suggestions? -Steve p.s. there's no way I would believe this error report without seeing a working example. I really hope it's not some artifact of my installed browser. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
