[Done v1.3.7] Tell a Friend Email Form in IE

Is this a bug?

In IE, the Tell A Friend email form pushes out beyond and behind the
right side boxes, along with the breadcrumb background image.
Can't get to the Send button, and the "This message is included with all emails sent from this site:" doesn't wrap.

Works fine in Firefox.

Thanks!

:oops: Sorry...

I should have said this is happening both on a test site with 1.3.0, and
the cart I'm rebuilding (initial install of 1.3.0, patched with
the 1.3.0.1 patch files and db upgrade). On the latter, I FTP'd the 1.3.0.1
full file set this morning to see if it was something I'd missed in the patching.
No change or improvement. :wacko:

What template are you using?

What's the URL to the site?

Thanks Dr. Byte!

I'm using Kuroi's Future Zen template. I've taken it live. url is http://www.90bodybasics.com


I've tried several things, like switching to the classic template on both test sites...
removing the breadcrumb background image (I did enlarge that ). I also widened
#mainWrapper and the #logoWrapper to 860px.

Prolly me...not surprising. :laugh:

Must be me and my IE 6.0 browser. Seeing the same behavior in some
of the sites posted in Reviews. :dontgetit

Found it! Fixed it! Yayyy!! (Does the Snoopy Happy Dance!)

Changed TEXT AREA float: left; to float: center; in stylesheet.

TEXTAREA {
float: center;
margin: auto;
display: block;
width: 95%;
}

Uh ... hate to burst your bubble ... there is no float: center; in CSS.

Thus, using float:center simply overrides float:left, which apparently IE must not like too well with textarea fields when sizing with a percentage.

Thanks Kim & Dr. Byte.

Changed the stylesheet by removing the float, and added a max-width:

TEXTAREA {
margin: auto;
display: block;
max-width: 500px;
}

Put some breaks in English/email_extras.php:

// email advisory for all emails customer generate - tell-a-friend and GV send
define('EMAIL_ADVISORY', '-----' . "\n" . '<strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> For your<br/> protection and to prevent malicious use, all emails sent via this web site are logged<br/> and the contents recorded and available to the store owner. If you feel that you have<br/> received this email in error, please send an email to ' . STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . "\n\n");

It's working and my SEND button and email advisory aren't floating off the right side of the page. Any probs foreseen with these changes?

Thanks so much!

Only problem I see is that you've just affected every TEXTAREA field on your site by making those changes. You may want to check to be sure other things aren't busted.
