Making RT attractive in MSIE

Unfortunately I still have to support MSIE (version 8). Can someone give
me some pointers on making RT (version 3.8.7) look as it does under
Firefox? Here are the most obvious differences:

  • Corners are never rounded off.
  • MSIE sometimes has different ideas on font sizes.
  • Top and left borders of subwindows (view a ticket) are missing.
  • Background colors are often white instead of shades of blue and grey.

Hi David,

Unfortunately I still have to support MSIE (version 8). Can someone give
me some pointers on making RT (version 3.8.7) look as it does under
Firefox? Here are the most obvious differences:

  • Corners are never rounded off.

This one is because IE doesn’t support the CSS corner-rounding extension
coming in CSS3. Our options were “computationally expensive javascript”,
“hand-hacking every template to give it rounded corners” or letting IE
not have rounded corners.

  • MSIE sometimes has different ideas on font sizes.

patches to msie6.css and msie.css would be welcome.

  • Top and left borders of subwindows (view a ticket) are missing.

Can you send screenshots?

  • Background colors are often white instead of shades of blue and grey.

Patches to msie6.css and msie.css would be welcome.

Best,
Jesse
