ZxIRAX,

Keep in mind IE has a URL limit - it can only take less than 2083 characters in your URL while other browsers allow a much bigger number.

Good luck

Joe

Hi,

I am having some issues with a google custom search implementation (results only). I have it working perfectly in FF, Chrome, Safari in the development environment. However in IE when clicking a next page (number at the bottom) the page gets skewed - the page moves to the left and is aligned with the CSE div.

I have uploaded the code into production environment on a text page so that you can see this first hand: http://www.brookson.co.uk/test99/tests/?q=tax (I have included the search param, as the search box is not currently linked to the google custom search.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Joe,

The actual URL does not change - so I do not think that this is the problem. If you open the link in my original post you will see that the page loads correctly. However, when you go to the bottom of the search results and click another page number to veiw the results, the page alignment gets changed and everything shifts to the left.

This is true, and actually, Google has instituted a similar limit on URL length. With the Search APIs, it's generally not an issue, though.

This sounds more like an issue in building and rendering the HTML elements, but I won't be able to test until probably 9:30a CDT (i.e., two hours from now).

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the clarification. As I mention in my original post, it works fine in all other browsers except IE - where the whole page shifts left.

I would really appreciate any help you can offer to resolve this issue.

Hi Joe,

were you able to have a look at the issue and figure out what the problem was yesterday?

Hi Joe,

Hi Joe,
 
Have you had any spare time to look into the issue. I really have hit a brick wall with this.

Hi all,

I am having the exact same issue, on IE only. Does anyone have a fix for this please?

Thanks,
Gerry

Hi Gerry,

It turned out to be an issue with the CSS. I debugged the issue with IE developer tools (F12) then modify the CSS elements to see if you can correct the alignment. I found the problem elements and rewrote them, as IE didn't seem to like them when CSE was dynamically loaded.

Let me know how you get on or send me a link to the page in question and I can see if I can help.

Thanks for your reply James. I managed to fix this simply by applying the css rule "overflow: hidden" to the container div. I wish I new why this is fixes it :(
