[jQuery] Upgrade to 1.1.4 -- links die on IE6

2007-08-27 Thread EdMartin
This is strictly an IE6 problem. (Of course, if it would be a problem anywhere, you can guarantee IE6 would be involved!) We have a site that uses jq-innerfade.js and a customized version of pngfix_map.js. After a certain amount of struggle, we got it to work acceptably on IE6, IE7, Firefox 2, wh

[jQuery] slideDown causes Java applets to reload on Firefox

2007-08-27 Thread EdMartin
I have a page with a slideDown menu. It also contains a number of Java applets. This causes a problem on Firefox 2.0.0.6. If a Java applet is running and I click the link to slide down the menu the applet reloads. It doesn't do it on slideUp, and neither slideDown nor slideUp provokes any applet r

2007-09-04 Thread EdMartin
So this turned out to have nothing to do with jQuery really. In the course of solving the problem for our web site, I switched from using pngfix_map.js (which only deals with images in the DOM and requires CSS-applied PNG background images to be dealt with separately in IE6-specific CSS files) to

[jQuery] jQuery 1.2 Release Notes on IE6

2007-09-17 Thread EdMartin
Is it just me or is the left hand column of the New Features section invisible on IE6? It doesn't appear to be an instance of the peekaboo bug because mouse activity and/or scrolling does not reveal the missing material. In particular, you can't select it with the mouse. However, the links on th

[jQuery] How to check for specified fonts

2007-10-06 Thread EdMartin
Back in the day, using HTML 4.01, I could check for the presence of a specified font (different from the default monospace font) by placing a DIV containing a couple of SPANs, absolutely positioned off-screen using this kind of arrangement (I'm spreading the tags because I don't know how this foru

Well, you're right that it works for the usual fonts. I hadn't noticed that because my interest in having such a test derives from the desire to detect if users have the necessary fonts installed to display MathML in documents served as http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/xhtml-math11-f.dtd";> So

Yes. That certainly would have been an issue if I were doing the testing on an XHTML 1.1 page. In fact, however, I'm doing it on a kind of "gateway" page that gives access to more than one distance-learning courses, only one of which (a Calculus course) needs the full MathML capability. So I serve

I'm probably going about this all wrong. So I'm hopeful that sharper minds than mine can set me straight. I have a bunch of bulleted lists on a page. I want them to be displayed initially so that only the first two items of any list with more than two items are shown, with the remainder being rep
