[OT] weird CSS issue with IE on Windows
Lasso 8.5 site with CSS.
The CSS controls the width of some text (had to use width b/c of how IE operates).
CSS in question is:
/* .question, legend and caption = questions */
..question, legend, caption {
font-size: 20px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
width: 940px;
display: block;
}
NOTE: I added the width and display to try and fix the IE problem and it hasn't worked.
And it controls text on site that looks like this:
<ol>
<li><fieldset>
<legend>Have you participated in any ...?</legend>
......
</fieldset>
</li>
</ol>
The problem: on my Mac running Windows via Parallels in IE 8, loading from my local server, the text looks fine, wraps like it should and doesn't extend all the way across the screen without wrapping.
From the client's server, i.e when I load the URL for the client's server in my Parallels Windows IE 8, the text looks fine, wraps like it should and doesn't extend all the way across the screen without wrapping.
When the client loads the URL for their test site, from their server, in IE 8 and IE 9 on Windows - the text does NOT wrap and extends all the way across the screen without wrapping.
One of the client's tester's is outside the office and when he loads the url in Windows IE 10 everything looks fine for him.
3 different machines at the client's location see the no wrapping, extends across the screen. Two using IE 8, one using IE 9.
I can not, in IE, Safari, Firefox, or Chrome on my Mac or Windows virtual machine see what the client sees.
I've had the client replace the original css with one that colors the pages blue to double check that no weird caching was going on - it turned the pages blue but didn't change the wrapping issue.
I do NOT want to have to go in and manually add <br> everywhere.
Any suggestons on how to fix this?
The only thing that's having a wrapping issue is the <legend></legend> stuff, and only on the client's IE.
I hate IE.
Thanks in advance for any help.
