418087 - [IE7][Timeplot] Plot selector drop-down misaligned in Internet Explorer 7

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Attachment: Drop-down in Internet Explorer 7

In IE7 (and quite possibly 6), the plot selector drop-down is misaligned due to its reliance on floats to operate in a particular way something not common between IE and FF.

I found that adding:
  clear: left;
  margin-top: 0px;
To the element representing the drop-down:
  <UL class=level1 id=plot-selector_test>
Corrected the appearance in IE7.

I don't know where would be good to put this in the CSS, as the drop-down gets quite a few sets of styles applied, and in particular the margin-top: 0px must override the other values provided. Also, the CSS needs to be restricted to IE7 only, as it will break FF's layout.

rdoherty - do we have a good way of just doing this for IE?

We can add it to our IE stylesheet, that would work.
