    Default Re: Scrolling specials IE8 issues

    You just stick the file at:

    includes\templates\%your_template%\sideboxes\tpl_specials.php

    Right?

    Iam using zencart 1.3.8a i also have light box & ynage handler 2 installed, could this be effecting it?

    I mean could i not just put:
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

    in my html_header.php as suggested by the original thread starter?

    What do you suggest?

    Sure you can do that, but IE8 should display pretty much the same as FF without using it.

    Hi Admin,

    Could you remove the link in my original first post in this thread please? It's being found by google and I don't want it too!

    Many thanks
    Claire

    File is includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php

    I placed it just below
    Code:
    <title><?php echo META_TAG_TITLE; ?></title>
    So it looks like this:
    Code:
    <head>
    <title><?php echo META_TAG_TITLE; ?></title>
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo META_TAG_KEYWORDS; ?>" />
    <meta name="description" content="<?php echo META_TAG_DESCRIPTION; ?>" />
    <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
    <meta name="author" content="The Zen Cart&trade; Team and others" />
    <meta name="generator" content="shopping cart program by Zen Cart&trade;, http://www.zen-cart.com eCommerce" />
    <?php if (defined('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP') && in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",constant('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP'))) || $current_page_base=='down_for_maintenance' || $robotsNoIndex === true) { ?>
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />

    I tried this and don't get the icon showing it is in IE7 mode:

    How can we test it is in the mode, I don't think it is working although there is the text in each page on my site

    in the tpl_specials.php try this, worked for me

    after
    $specials_box_counter = 0;

    insert
    $content .= '<div id="specialsContent" class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">';

    change
    $content .= '<marquee behavior= "' . $scroll_behaviour etc

    to
    $content .= '<marquee style="position:relative" behavior= etc

    change
    $content .= '<div class="sideBoxContent">';
    to
    // $content .= '<div class="sideBoxContent">';

    always make a backup first
