Third time trying to post this...First time it says I can't attach an html file, then the second time it says I already posted it (but I don't see the thread, so hopefully there's no double post)
I wanted to add a little image next to links that go to an external site, but I ran into a problem. As usual, it works fine in Firefox and Opera, but IE does it differently. When the text wraps (due to the size of my sidebar) instead of the image appearing at the same level as the text, it gets covered by the text and is positioned between the lines.
I'll attach an example (the html file is renamed to .txt). Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Make the icon go in front?
Honestly, lately I've been getting really upset with wasting a lot of time trying to get stupid stuff to work in IE. Almost to the point that I don't care if my site doesn't work in IE.
If only I didn't work for "the man" and have to program for corporate drones.

Possible solution:

I tried the icon in front, and it looked kinda funny.
Sounds like the only solution is to actually change the markup on the page, which would be a pain since I'm using XSLT 1.0 to generate the markup. (I don't think the server supports XSLT 2.0, or at least I get errors when I try to use those functions server-side)
I think I just won't display the images for IE.
-
Maybe dashed underline it for IE or something?
-
I have been having a ton of trouble with IE as well. My solution has been to deploy a configuration for opera and FF as the default, and if IE is detected a seperate design is used.
-
Dashed underline's a good idea
I use the same CSS file for all browsers, but use conditional comments to overwrite certain styles that don't appear correctly in IE. The only other difference is sending my pages as text/html to IE instead of application/xhtml+xml
-
Anyone check out IE 8 B1 yet?
-
Fack no.
-
did he seriously just ask us that?
-
I thought you checked these kinds of things when you write SW. Just wondered.
-
IMO IE8 is completely irrelevant as a browser. IE7 hasn't gained widespread usage and IE users are not going to be the ones to update their browser as soon as a new version comes out.

Exactly.
-
There are three modes that IE8 can render, named, "Quirks," "Strict," and "Standard."
And they're still all going to suck compared to any of the other browsers. I'd say it's time for IE to get with the times before they find themselves behind Firefox.
-
im waiting for FF or Opera to be the new bundled browser.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 to Include 'Porn Mode' (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,412161,00.html)

Unless you are surfing porn on a public computer what is the big fucking deal? OMG I, like the vast majority of males with computer access, look at porn. Wow what a fucking surprise.
-
And you, unlike some of us old married folk, apparently don't share your computer with anyone else.
-
So you have to keep your porn a secret from your wife? That is pretty sad man.
-
I bet they arent hidden from MS lmao. And yea dude why hide it?
-
Besides anything that still allows the police to get it (presumably off of the computer itself) is still wide open for others to look at.
-
I would hope it is less for partners and more for children that may share the PC.

Bingo. I've watched porn with my wife... so I'm not exactly hiding it from her.
-

Since you mentioned marriage it is only logical to assume the other person was the spouse.
Have you ever heard of this great thing they call user accounts and passwords?
From what the article mentioned it really isn't keeping it off of your computer, just hiding it from the browser and not sending out referers
-
Actually, it is keeping it off the computer... it doesn't store history, cookies, etc. when you have it turned on.
And fuck user accounts... you think I'm going to store 30 gig of porn in "My Documents"?
-
No... that is what the "My Porn" folder is for...
Edit: And seriously, you don't use multiple computer accounts? Just from a basic ease of computer use I'd think you'd do it.
Oh and the article mentioned
Although casual users cannot see the previous user’s search history, authorities such as the police will be able to access it if necessary.
Which means it is either being stored somewhere or being transmitted somewhere.
-
yea its stored somewhere for legal purposes im sure. And thank god you said that obes cuz me and the ex used to watch porn and if u had to hide it from ur wife.....strange

I think there's a difference between watching pr0n with your spouse and lurking about the internet for hardcore S&M. A spouse may not have a problem with some material, in the context of the bedroom, every once in a while... but that doesn't mean she's cool with you surfin' for jailbait or 2G1C when she's not home.
I think its all about intent.
-
Why
The
Fuck
would I want to hassle with user accounts at home.
No WAY!

I know you were serious, but twice I laughed out loud. Great wording! :thumbsup:

Exactly. That means I have to manage backups and everything from 2 accounts. All she does is surf the web and mess around with pictures and video of Sophie. I don't see the point in separate accounts.
-
Please, in XP all the user accounts share the same root directory. So the difference in backing up is just changing to a directly level higher.
While it might not be needed if all they are doing is messing around on the internet it is worth while if they are doing any things like email (non web-based) and/or creating documents.
I've never found window user accounts to be a hassle. It isn't like you have to deal with a butt load of user permission settings.
-
Yep. and the best way to backup is images and in that case it doesnt matter.
-
We tried user accounts, but people were too lazy to switch to their own so they ended up using mine. This annoys me, but oh well.
My wife has her own computer now and the visiting family tends to use hers (and I tend to use my work laptop) so its not so much of a problem.
-
they wont use urs if u pw it lol
