478337 - Test in IE / Win

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Skywriter Graveyard :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Dion Almaer]

The front page doesn't render well (the center area is on the left) and we get a JavaScript error.

All we want here, is for it to render OK and do the browser compat popup.

comments before the doctype force quirks mode, getDimensions is borked in IE.

Quirks and Standard mode in IE 8 have two different calls to get the browser dimensions.

This is a quick hack I used to get it to display in IE 8/7

if(Prototype.Browser.IE) {
        if(document.documentElement.clientWidth==0) {
            //IE8 Quirks
	    alert('In Quirks Mode!');
            var y=(document.body.clientHeight - elDims.height) / 2;
            var x=(document.body.clientWidth - elDims.width) / 2;
        }
        else {
            var y=(document.documentElement.clientHeight - elDims.height) / 2;
            var x=(document.documentElement.clientWidth - elDims.width) / 2;
        }
    }

This is a mass migration from Mozilla Labs :: Bespin to Bespin :: General.

This bug likely still needs to be triaged and categorized.
