    Ha, you would not believe how bad Phils old host was. Possibly the worst I have ever seen. We had a total nightmare upgrading from J1 to J1.5 as the host wouldn’t let him.

    They had me limited to 100mb of space and no CPanel

    I wont even name and shame them!

    When I finally moved it was because their server had became corrupt and their sites were getting blocked by google because of exploits….Guy from Joomlart tried to help and installed a backup programe and took a backup of the site, this took the site over the 100mb and meant we couldnt even upload my own backup….

    What a mare!

    Phil,
    Please PM the host name.
    Also, please remove this code from the page it was placed on:

    HTML1115: X-UA-Compatible META tag ('IE=9')
    Advise me when this is done please.
    Thanks!

    Here is what Microsoft has to say:
    <blockquote>Some websites might not display correctly in Windows Internet Explorer 9. For example, portions of a webpage might be missing, information in a table might be in the wrong locations, or colors and text might be incorrect. Some webpages might not display at all.

    If a portion of the webpage doesn’t display correctly, try one or more of the following procedures:

    Show all

    To turn on Compatibility View

    To turn off Tracking Protection for a single website

    If webpages don’t display at all, follow these steps:

    To turn off hardware acceleration</blockquote>

    so I’m guessinng there is no code to fix the IE9 problem?

    Well Phil,
    Microsoft is not helpful.
    People are criticizing Microsoft’s choice to include HTML5 and CSS3 because both are unfinished specifications, arguing that poor rendering (which does exist) and future changes could leave the browser in an IE6-like situation when it gets outdated.
    It appears that at fault is IE9’s built in mechanism designed to help users view legacy websites the way they were intended for when built with IE6.
    There are issues reported with Flash Player 10.3 in addition to the poor picture rendering that has been reported.
    Problems are also being reported with Facebook, YouTube and gmail.
    A Box Model Hack may be the solution. In basic terms, the box model hack uses bugs in Internet Explorer to force it to use CSS tags that other browsers will ignore.

    If you have a div like this:

    div {
    width: 100px;
    padding: 10px;
    border: 10px solid #000;
    }

    It will be 140px wide in valid browsers, and 100px wide in Internet Explorer.

    To fix this you need to set up two div selectors, one which defines the width for compliant browsers at 100px and one for IE at 140px.

    div {
    width: 100px;
    }
    div {
    width: 140px;
    width: 100px;
    }

    The first line “width: 100px;” is for browsers like Mozilla and Opera that render correctly. Opera and other browsers choke on the escape character () and so will ignore the second and third properties. The second property “width: 140px;” is for IE/quirks mode. The final line “width: 100px;” will be read by escape friendly browsers (including IE in non-quirks mode) and set the width back to 100px. The problem here is that Netscape 4 crashes when it sees escape characters in the property names, so this isn’t done yet.
    So now we need to implement The Tan Hack. The Tan Hack or StarHTMLHack relies on a quirk of IE 5 and 6(quirks mode). IE believes that the html tag is not the root element of a document. There is an extra element outside of the html element which IE considers to be the root. By selecting for that element, you can force IE to read your CSS, while other browsers, including Netscape 4, ignore the style completely:

    div {
    width: 100px;
    padding: 10px;
    border: 10px solid #000;
    }
    * html div {
    width: 140px; /* for IE5 and IE6 in quirks mode */
    width: 100px; /* for IE6 in standards mode */
    }

    In my opinion, this is a whole lot of work for the average person to do.
    I offer my own solution which would be a note to IE9 users to view the site in IE8 for best viewing and then we, as developers, must just wait for Microsoft to get their coding straight. IMHO

    1 user says Thank You to Blaine for this useful post

    I would like to thank you for all the trouble you have gone to on behalf of Microsoft…..its such a shame they dont work as hard!!
    Its such a shame that we have been banging our heads around trying to fix something that cant be fixed..

    I have added a picture note on my site suggesting people use Firefox….shame I had to lose SEARCH position to get it in a visible spot.

    I’m guessing the IE9 error in 1.7 is also the reason I cant save in global config…

    Phil,
    Instead of losing a position, maybe you could ADD one in the form of a TOP PANEL DROP DOWN.
    You could label it ÏE9 USERS CLICK HERE”and then when it drops down you could have a little blurb about the viewing of the site.
