Border not completely rendered in IE 7

Submitted by wbpaley on Sun, 02/15/2009 - 11:57

Dear Steffen (and admirers/colleagues):

First: thank you very much for such a good and generous gift!

Second: I am trying to use ShadedBorder for pop-up explanations on the page http://www.didi.com/index.shtml (not index.html...). It's lovely in Netscape & Chrome, but doesn't completely render the borders (top, bottom, left & right) in IE 7. (Roll over the menu choices for previews of what the pages will contain. The "Charts" item under "Work" is the only one with content for now.)

Perhaps I'm using it incorrectly?

I am just learning JavaScript and CSS (after more than a decade of Java and another of C/C++), so I thought I could try to figure it out myself. But I've been at it for almost a dozen hours and have to go to sleep now! 5:00 am NY time ;)

Kind Regards,
Brad

Same rendering problem with IE7

I completely agree with Brads thanks for these great tools.

I just ran into the same problem as Brad (www.east80oilandgas.com/default.htm). Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this problem and more importantly, what can be done to fix it?

TIA

take the script out of the div

I had this problem, or at least one that sounds similar: in ie7 my corners would render, but not the straight parts of the borders. They were fine in firefox, safari, and chrome.

I noticed that I had put the border-rendering script inside the div it was trying to border. On a whim, I moved the script outside the div (beneath it). Bingo, problem disappeared. I'm far too lazy to figure out why.
