IE8 has lines between tabs that disappear on hover or page scroll
« on: September 09, 2010, 01:14:03 PM »
Posting here in HTML, but don't know what is causing this display issue in IE8. Live page is located at http://www.tv-sewingcenter.com It only seems to happen on the home page.

I've tested this on a few computers and multiple browsers, so it seems that it is only IE8. I don't have compatibility mode on, but I don't consider this a fix.

I've attached an image that shows the display problem. Little vertical lines between menu tabs. If I hover over the tabs, then the lines go away. If I scroll down the page and then come back, the lines go away. If I go to another page and then come back, the lines go away.

Any ideas?

More info: seems like this is only happening in the Windows 7 x64 IE8.

replace your odd doctype you have with this one:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Hopefully that works

I had tried different doctypes, and stripped all extra code out. Narrowed it down to what you see here:

http://www.tv-sewingcenter.com/test.html

My doctype is the new HTML5 doctype, which supposedly works just fine, and it didn't make a difference what I changed the doctype to, so that wasn't the problem. In the end, I just applied a negative margin to the .tab-on and .tab-off divs, and that cleared things up for IE8 x64. Seems like a bit of a hack, but then I guess that's what IE is all about.

None of the current versions of IE (up to 8) support HTML 5. IE9 supposedly will.
