Adapting skins to ie7

Bernard Paques -- on Dec. 4 2006, from nearby-an-airport

Most reference skins are rendered correctly, except joi, by Internet Explorer version 7.

A quick fix that has worked for at least two skins derived from joi is to remove following lines from the cascaded style sheet:

* html input { /* ensure form fields fit in the layout, the ie case */
	max-width: expression(this.type=="text"? '300px' : 'auto');
}


You can do this with any text editor, including the Notepad for Windows users. Open the file, suppress the lines, save the updated file.

Well, good to know . I had based my skin off of joi and was pulling my hair out when I converted to IE7 on my laptop. Don't typically use IE7 but I know my intended users might. I just forced IE7 to uses quirks mode by inserting a comment before the XHTML declaration line.
