Corner banners dont line up in IE9

[suntech]

I just upgraded to the 2.5 RC1 and it works great. I do notice that the corner banners are way off to the left when I view with IE9 but look fine in Firefox.
Most likely some sort of CSS issue not sure.
Anyne know of a fix?

Thanks,
Tim

The Corner Banners already have seperate alignment CSS fixes in the code for IE6, 7 and 8! So no doubt we will need to come up with yet another fix for the latest pile of rubbish from Microsoft.

There are standards based web browsers, and then there is Micro$oft. I swear I'm going to add a piece of jquery that determines if someone is using Micro$oft and put in a popup that says "You are using a non-standard based browser, may we suggest you upgrade to a free browser which follows standards" and has a link to chrome and firefox, and place it on all my, and my clients websites.

<!--[if IE]>
<style>
img.corner_banner { display:inline-block; margin-left:-105px; margin-top:-7px; position:absolute; }
</style>
<![endif]-->

If you look in includes/modules/product_listing_col.php ... you will find the above which obviously needs adjusting for IE9. Can someone who has IE9 on their PC test this out ...

The first line needs to be
<!--[if lte IE 8]>

to adjust IE8 and below ... if IE9 needs adjusting then we need add another IE specific CSS using ...

<!--[if IE 9]>

Borrowed a Windows 7 machine running IE9 - looks like the conditional CSS is NOT needed for IE9.

Please can someone test this to see if it works properly?

Looks like IE6 (and IE7 - I think) is finally on the way out ... hooray!

Internet Explorer 6 Countdown

Even MS have decided it is time for IE6 to die.

Im using OscMax 2.5 RC1 and just came across a similar alignment problem with Firefox 8.0: Corner banners are not lining up but are positioned right in the center of a product image. Not a pretty view since part of the images are covered by the banners. Problem does not exist in list view, positioning is correct there.
Since this tread is not very new, I don't know what happened to the MS Internet Explorer problems in the meantime, but found a (weird) solution that works for me:

In "product_listing_col.php" I have changed the code as follows:

<!-- PGM fix for Corner Banners in Internet Explorer -->
<!--[if !IE 9]>
<style>
img.corner_banner { display:inline-block; margin-left:-105px; margin-top:-7px; position:absolute; }
</style>
<![endif]-->

<!--[if IE9]>
<style>
img.corner_banner { display:inline-block; margin-left:-105px; margin-top:-7px; position:absolute; }
</style>
<![endif]-->
<!-- PGM SORT ORDER, NUMBER DISPLAY, GRID SWITCH -->

My really weird findings were:
1. the first IF condition applies to IE versions < 9 and there must be a blank in between IE and version number 9 (that's the way it should be according to MS).
2. the second IF condition applies to IE version 9 and must not contain a blank between IE and version number (that's not the way it should be, but it was the only way I got it to work).

If anyone would like to try it, I suggest to copy and paste the code as it is.
Have tested the code with IE 6,7,8, Firefox 2,3.5,3.6 and 4, Opera all recent versions - it looks fine, except for Firefox 8. You can see what I am talking about on my website fairy4u.com A Jewelry Store and A Fairy Shop :

Does anybody know what's going on with the Firefox 8 banner alignment problems or is there perhaps a solution somewhere?
