IE8 rendering bug on refresh and highlighter bug

[tony]

I have been fighting with the IE8 replot bug for most part of the
afternoon. (Forcing IE7 compatible mode is not a possibility for my
clients.) http://groups.google.com/group/jqplot-users/browse_thread/thread/19217886f3301c4c

Zooming on the blank chart redraws it. Is that a clue for a possible
cure?

I have stumbled on another bug while fighting this issue - the inline
highlighter style is not rendered in ie8

highlighter: { show: true,
useAxesFormatters: true,
formatString:'<table class="jqplot-highlighter"><tr><td>Time:</
td><td>%s</td></tr><tr><td>Kb/s:</td><td>%s</td></tr></table>',
sizeAdjust: 10
},

gives me a white text on a transparent background.


Cheers

Tony
