Compatability with new Microsoft IE9	Reply to this Post Reply with Quote
	[Delete this Thread]

I just updated to Internet Explorer 9. When I access the calendar, the horizontal spacing is not consistent for any given month. IE9 has a small icon that allows me to view older designed websites. This clears up the spacing problem. Is there work being done to update the code to current standards?

Once IE9 is gold, we'll run incorporate it into our build tests (which include Opera, Safari, IE, Firefox, and Chrome)

I've already seen some IE9 issues come up, and as it's a major platform we'll support it fully.

I also just noticed big problem with IE9. I am using the latest fully released version, and have spacing problems that do not appear in the other 3 major browsers. You can see an example at
http://geneseeyc.org/Calendar/calendar.htm .

It seems obvious that something is wrong at the Microsoft end, but wonder if there is a work-around on LocalCalendar?

Same horizontal spacing issue with an embedded calendar. See the following page in IE9 for an example.

In other browsers the spacing works as expected. Any updates on this?

A few users have reported it, but we have tested with IE9 and not duplicated the issue.

I would suggest removing your doctype line (<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">) for starters, and seeing if it corrects your word-wrap problem.

It's when it goes into an IFRAME that the problem happens. Embedd this IFRAME into any page and you will be able to repro the issue.

<iframe src="http://www.localendar.com/public/puyallupumc" height="585"
width="960" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" frameborder="0" border="0"></iframe>

It also happens on your site when you generate the code:
PUBLISH ->>my calendar in an <iframe> --> Month Block View --> Preview

Removing the DOC Type line did not change the behavior.

IE9 has a bug with how iframes are rendered (they inherit the parent page's DOCTYPE). We've put a fix in that should remedy this.

On a separate note, you might also want to try the embedded calendar that doesn't rely on an Iframe, as your page will now autosize to fix the calendar height. I think it's much cooler.

Please let me know if you have any additional issues with IE9.
