Description

[Jan Bambach [:Jan]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)

"Mozilla" and a few other items on the community map (http://www.mozilla.org/community/#mozilla) are misaligned and hide a few other items are overlapping. This causes a few items to be hidden for the user.
...and since the color of the description text is white, it's "invisible".

Reproducible: Always

2. Go to http://www.mozilla.org/community/#mozilla
3. Click a few items on the community map
Actual Results:  
"Mozilla" and other items are misaligned and hide parts of other items.

Expected Results:  
The items shouldn't be misaligned and all items should be visible.

s/Our school's server is using/Our school's server is still using Windows Server 2003 - and a newer version of IE isn't supported. This can be reproduced in a few other schools and classrooms too.

Happy to have this work with IE 7 if possible.  You might want to check the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit site for IE compatibility information since the map is based on that code.

I think that we can close this... The website is outdated and no one uses IE 6/7 anyway. I'm not sure though.

Agreed.  The map isn't being maintained now, so closing as wontfix.  If we update it at some point or use the same visualization toolkit for something else, we'll look at browser support issues then.
