Problems with different IE:s?

[lelleman]

Hi, is there a known problem with the "popup" as I enlarge the picture? I've tested my Phoca Gallery with different computers (only IE) and sometimes the enlarged picture ends up in the lower left part of the page. Also only a little part of the picture is shown.

Hi,

which Popup do you mean: Modal box(box on the page) or Javascript Popup Window (new window)?

Which version of IE: IE6 , IE7?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a known issue with IE6 - Modal box. This is a bug in IE6 - Joomla!1.5 Framework - Modal box. You can use Standard Popup Window instead of Modal Box if you want to support browsers like IE6 or you can hack Joomla! Modal Box framework

Just add in:
joomla/media/system/modal.css
left: 50%;top:50%;
in #sbox-window class, if you want, that the box will be displayed center and middle in IE6

#sbox-window
{
left: 50%;
top:50%;
position: absolute;
background-color: #000;
text-align: left;
overflow: visible;
padding: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
}

Hi, sorry, I forgot to say, it works only in frontend.

In Backend (Joomla! Administrator), there is no possibility to use Standard Popup Window. In Administration area, there is Modal box used (in whole Joomla! 1.5), so if you want to work in Administration area of Joomla! 1.5 and you want to see right Modal box, please use standard web browsers like Firefox or Opera...

For Backend, there are no Component preferences in Joomla!
For Frontend:
- Phoca Gallery - Default Settings
- Menu Manager - Menulink - Phoca Gallery - Component parameters

It should be centered since Joomla! 1.5.1 ... but I don't know, I don't care about it (for my sites), because users who use non standard browsers like IE are accustomed for incorrectly layout ...

Try to see the joomla.org forum, maybe you will find something there...

Hi,

So maybe is possible to do something like this:
for Firefox or Opera Phoca will use automatically Modal box,
and for non standard browsers - like IE6 - will start Standard Popup Window ?

And maybe someone know, how to do this?

In Poland 33 % user of Internet still use MSIE 6.x (In Czech the same URL )

Regards,
Jacek

I know but people who are using IE, they are acustomed to incorrect displaying of web sites, so it will be shock for them if they will see some correctly displayed site...

Seriously - you can use the standard popup box if you want to support non standard browsers... but for all browsers

There is an IE 8 beta and there will not work some functions which worked in IE 7 (so next uselessly work with hacking and commenting in the next months ) now I am trying to hack the code for IE 8 so I think, for IE 6, there is no time to make some hacks ...
