explorer 7.0.6001 problems?

[stratboy]

Hi! I'm a Mac user web designer/programmer (http://reghellin.com/
milkbox), but obviously I test my sites and programs with a pc. I'm
using now a new pc [dell w/ vista home premium sp1, explorer 7.0.6001]
and having some problem with my milkbox (http://reghellin.com/
milkbox). I'm trying to fix them, but since (as a mac user) I'm not a
pc-expert at all, I wanted to know if my explorer 7 version is ok or
if it needs some kind of upgrade. The reason why I need it, is that
milkbox doesn't have the same problems in every pc, every explorer. In
fact, it's the first time I see them.

The main problem:

In some situations, the overlay opacity doesn't get setted, it remains
full black.

Click on some image:

I personally see the bg full black. But... not in all pc I can test...
What do you see?

So, have I got a bugged explorer 7 or there's some real js problem?
I know, there's explorer 8, but for know I need ie7 tests.

Thanks in advance..

Hi there,

I also wrote a bunch of crap i lovingly call 'largerbox' -
http://fragged.org/largerbox-a-mootools-apple-style-modal-lightbox-effect_127.html
and know exactly what you are talking about. Basically, the problem is
when the page has too many elements / is too tall, for whatever reason
IE fails to set the modal layer's opacity in IE.

it's very annoying as if you set the opacity and then read it back, it
reports it correctly to the assigned value (say, 0.5) -- yet on-screen,
it remains solid.

I was working on a workaround where I don't draw the modal layer over
the whole page scroll but only over the visible area (which seemed to
work) - only you have to move it if you allow scroll whilst the modal is
on.

you can use display:fixed if supported or use dean edwards' fix for it
for this..

good luck :)

before you display the overlay,

add style 

{

overflow: hidden

}

to the body and remove it when closing

that's actually not a bad idea, it may work although it would change the
behaviour of the modal layer - people won't be able to scroll down and
peek through to the content at the back. i think it can work nicely with
a Browser.Engine.trident and body height check...

Thank you for your answer. Well, quite curious.
Anyway, your right: if I check the alpha opacity filter is == 70.
Also, in another, smaller page like this:

http://studiosisma.com/sismica-a-rifrazione.html

it works perfectly. Bah...
The problem with making it only big as the viewable area, is not only
scroll, but also resize. So I think I'll keep it this way. It's
definitely another IE Bug!!! :)
I was wondering if IE8 has the same problem... I'll try. I suppose I
have to use multiple_ie right?

Well, sorry, just tried and doesn't work.

Not only doesn't work for opacity, but in ff overlay disappears :P

sorry,

i speak french, so didn't notice  that

thks!

when inspecting you overlay I found

opacity: 0.0001 in firefox, so it is not visible. try to set opacity to 0.5 for example.

[Thierry bela nanga]

or 

filter: alpha(opacity=50) for IE

[stratboy]

Ah yes, no, it was another test... Sorry. Anyway, in ie doesn't work.

Bye!
