Problems with IE9 after update to 2.3.9.0

We are on a Windows Server 2003, IIS 6 platform running SQL 2003.

We are not using any custom code. We have updated the theme.skin file with the one from the extra skins folder.

After upgrading to version 2.3.9.0 we are having the following problems with our sites:

- The formatting does not display properly and all the columns are all shifted to the right hand side of the screen.

- Some of the sites do display properly but when you hover over one of the top navigation menu items the page goes blank

- The content headers are blown out of proportion and are enormous, which messes up the formatting.

However, all of this goes away if we run IE9 in compatability mode.

Help?

Re: Problems with IE9 after update to 2.3.9.0

Hi Max,

For design issues see the article Important Skin Changes, it should help you get things fixed.

Can you post links to the site(s) with the issues? 
Are you using .NET 3.5 or .NET 4? 
Are you using the multiple sites feature of mojoPortal or does each site have it's own codebase and database?

Thanks,
Joe D.

Re: Problems with IE9 after update to 2.3.9.0

Joe,

We went through the Important Skin Changes post and the one thing I can't find is where to change the divLeft, divCenter, and divRight (and divAlt1 and divAltContent2) from <asp:Panel to <portal:LayoutPanel. This may have something to do with it.

We are running .NET 4.0 and all of the sites share a common database.

Sites with issues are:

- http://www.davenportridge.org/home.aspx

- http://www.westovermagnet.org/

- http://www.cloonanms.org/

- http://www.westhillweb.com/home.aspx

Thanks

Joe,

Any ideas on this? We are in a bad way as lots of our sites are completely messed up.

Can we work with you directly on a solution?

Thanks

Re: Problems with IE9 after update to 2.3.9.0

you could force IE 9 to use compatibility mode with a meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >

if you'd like to zip up one of the problem skins and email it to me I can take a look and see if anything jumps out at me in terms of things that needed to be updated joe dot audette at g mail dotcom

Best,

Joe

Meta elements go inside the <head element in layout.master file of your skin

Re: Problems with IE9 after update to 2.3.9.0

Possible factors:

You've got meta elements forcing IE 7 compatibility not IE 8, IE 7 is bad news and very few people use it. I would remove that. You actually have it in 2 places, make sure you remove both of them and then if needed try the IE 8 meta.

Your skin looks like it is based on a modified skin made in artisteer 2.4 which is very old. Artisteer doesn't provide support for designs modified outside of Artsiteer and neither do I, its very difficult to provide such support. If you are actually using Artisteer to make the designs I would highly recommend upgrading to a newer version of Artisteer, ie currently Artisteer 4 RC 2 is available and we have a plugin that can directly export a skin.

The Google translate widget has been known to cause layout problems, I would try removing that and see if it makes a difference or not.

Hope that helps,

Joe
