Forum:IE8 problems

I'm creating a new topic because IE8 problems are multiplying.

If staff or sysop of Central want, they can move IE8 related sections of others topics to this one.

To Firefox users : yes, Firefox is the best, but i sincerly think that it's not so diffcult to support the 3 most used browsers.

Main page of fr.guildwars
I recently remove a CSS rule from the common.css on fr.guildwars, i'm not sure it's related but now the main page look like this in IE8 : http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/8515/screencapturedate300120dr3.png

The CSS rule was : html { padding:0px; margin:0px; border:none; overflow-x:hidden; }

The problem goes away when activating compatibility mode. — TulipVorlax 16:55, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It is important to fix all those bugs, since many more users are going to switch from IE7 to IE8. Although I primarily use Firefox, I just upgraded from IE8-beta to IE8's first release candidate. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 17:18, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Send feedback to MicroSoft --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 17:37, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * If it's a bug with IE8, then yes report to Microsoft. First, though, someone needs to determine if the problem isn't with the MediaWiki software sending IE7 workarounds that are no longer applicable. Even if it is a problem with IE8 itself, workarounds still need to be developed, since Microsoft isn't exactly known for speedily addressing compliance issues. :P --Azkar 18:33, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it has something to do with thoses column tag Wikia added in the wiki software; the column that is supposed to be under the square add is outside the page. But, it might be something else. That's why i posted this here. — TulipVorlax 19:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I was joking. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Then if you can read french, read this (maybe with help of a translator?). Comment like that doesn't help one bit. — TulipVorlax 23:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * As I said, I was joking. Everybody has preferences over one browser or another. I prefer Firefox over IE and I have my reasons. I could write tons of pages about that, but this is off-topic. As LordTBT says below, our lives would be more easy if web browsers follow the standards. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 10:12, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I think suggesting people have to use a 'compatibility' feature to access Wikia is ridiculous. -- LordTBT Talk! 07:30, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

To return to topic, i have done the same layout for two others main pages (fr.3d and fr.programmation). fr.guildwars is the only one that does that. Might just be something in the CSS files. By the way, the problem appear in both monaco and monobook. — TulipVorlax 11:06, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Problem "solved" by uninstalling IE8.
 * I was getting tired of fidlign with fr.guildwars common.css and all of my analysis didn't show anything wrong; there was no problem with any of the other browsers.
 * But the problem may reappear when IE8 will get final. — TulipVorlax 01:16, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
