Found a solution to get it to semi work, in css.php

#chatInput { }

change to

#chatInput { overflow: hidden; height:30px; }

Not a good fix, Send button is still 1 pixel smaller on IE8,CROME,OPERA compared to Firefox which is really annoying, if i increase it 1pixel it becomes 1 pixel to large in firefox, gah..

Is there a way to force these 2 fields to always be the same height?

Hi Pierre, not so sure about that, even if i remove all the code containing the hidden fields (just as a test) i still get the spacers in IE, i can’t figure it out…

As for users, yeah i have a website which i was gonna use this shoutbox on and believe it or not but atleast 15% of the users are using IE6-7 if not more.

God i hate explorer, it really sucks balls. I wish there was a code to implement to replace the shoutbox with a text saying “install a better browser” , maybe there is? ??

Thanks to pierre for fast help, the issue wasn’t in the plugin but in explorer.

If anyone else was annoyed by this check the function on line 429 in ajax_shout.php

cheers

Hi Pierre thanks for your quick reply, I have a test page up on it here: https://jonnyeriksson.com/dd/ (check bottom of the sidebar)

Thanks a lot ??

would love to use this but the code above breaks the site, is there anything missing in the code above??

thanks!

No one? Maybe anyone could help me find a plugin which allows me to enter keywords that are searchable which does not have to be displayed to the end user, i’ve looked for one but i couldn’t find it.

Thanks!

oh id like to add i’ve tried all the search plugins, like Search Unleashed and Search Everything, none of these give me any result at all, they do manage to search pages and tags but yet no hits from the category names. Could it be theme issues?

same here, why no answer from anyone?

Yes exactly. The top (latest) post always shows up on top which is very confusing.

If anyone has a clue how to fix this i’d be willing to pay for the code.

Please reply to the thread!

It seems you solved this without posting the solution, not recommended. Can you please say how you solved the issue so others can fix this to?

I’ve been looking around and i found the author of the theme had replied to your thread on that support site, but not even he gave the instructions to fix it, cause apparently he saw you already fixed it.

Really frustrating.

I’ve managed to solve the issue with the borders between the images that looked strange in IE.

Styles.css, find:

hr {
	background-color: #22201d;
	border: 1px solid #363430;
	height: 10px;
	margin: 10px 0;
	width: 760px;
	}

Change to

hr {
	background-color: #22201d;
        color: #22201d;
	border: 1px solid #363430;
	height: 10px;
	margin: 10px 0;
	width: 760px;
	}

I hope that helps for someone else who might have this issue.

I did fix some issues using the page emsi linked. I had manually made hyperlinks for the header images, and i like these to point “home” but doing it like i did it seemed to be very faulty.

Can anyone with a bit of knowledge give me an idea how to do hyperlinks of the header images in a proper way? This is how i did it (NOT PROPER)

<div id="headerimg" class="clearfix">
<div class="image bkgleft"><a href="https://dkeserver.no-ip.org/news/"><img src="https://dkeserver.no-ip.org/news/wp-content/themes/chaoticsoul-10/images/image_left.jpg" border="0"</a></div>
<div class="image bkgright"><a href="https://dkeserver.no-ip.org/news/"><img src="https://dkeserver.no-ip.org/news/wp-content/themes/chaoticsoul-10/images/image_right.jpg" border="0"</a></div>
</div>

This works in firefox, but both IE and Opera flips out doing it this way. Also the page emsi linked freaks out about it.

I also have another question regarding how IE understands fontsizes from the styles.css file. For some reason the sidebar text (h3) is to large, while its correct size in both firefox and opera. There’s something that needs to be added to the css for IE to understand the text size, or does it conflict somewhat with the function that top post text size is larger then the ones below?

See this code and see if you can see anything that could cause the sidebar text to be larger in explorer vs firefox/opera.

Thanks again for the support!

Thanks for the fast respons!

Whooami:

The main difference in explorer would be that the menu text is larger then usual, vs firefox. Also the header looks weirds (the two blocks above & below the images)

In opera it’s even worse, the blocks mentioned above, is behind the images.

Esmi:

Thanks, ill try that!

Thanks again for the quick replies
