XMLUI Submission Interface messes up in IE7 after an empty <hint> in
input_forms.xml
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DS-378
URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-378
Project: DSpace 1.x
Issue Type: Bug
Components: XMLUI
Affects Versions: 1.5.2
Environment: Only happens in Internet Explorer (verified in 7.0 and
8.0)
Reporter: Tim Donohue
Attachments: HTMLSource.zip
If your input_forms.xml file includes at least one empty <hint> tag (either
<hint/> or <hint></hint>), then the XMLUI will insert in an empty XHTML tag
corresponding to that empty hint text:
<span class="field-help"/>
When Internet Explorer encounters one of those empty XHTML tags, it seems to
mess up the CSS for all text following it. Normally, the default CSS for
"field-help" includes "font-size: 80%". Unfortunately, IE will apply that
style to *all text* which comes after that empty tag. If you end up having
multiple empty "field-help" tags on one page, you end up with drastically
decreasing text size as the text is decreased by 80% after each empty tag.
Attached is an HTML dump of an example of this problem, provided by Alice Platt
on dspace-tech mailing list.
