Matt, fix this with 1 keystroke

[Please Delete]

I use the classic view of Internet explorer and get this when posting.



Notice the nasty white space around the radio buttons and check boxes.
This makes the posting page look like it has not been completed yet.



Now the PM page is properly finished. Note the little border around the check boxes.

This is an easy fix by changing the border: 0 to border: 1

[code]radiobutton,

.checkbox,

.helpbox { 

border: 0;

vertical-align: middle;

}

No big deal, but I just thought the posting screen could look more finished.

PS. I'm not sure how it looks in other browsers but with IE and classic view this is what I get.

After the fix.....

This is what I get without the fix.

Fixing it for IE on a gobal basis would most likely cause problems for "newer" browsers like FFox and Opera

No I checked with Fiorefox and Opera and it caused no problems.

I also found out it only appears in IE, regardless of classic or Xp view.

PS. Matt has it properly configured in PM and it causes no problems with other browsers.

[JohnJH]

Yep, your test board looks fine in FF :)

[JohnJH]

I actually prefer the reult you get if you use

radiobutton,

.checkbox,

.helpbox { 

background-color:transparent;

border: 0;

vertical-align: middle;

}

It helps get rid of all those white surrounds and doesn't rea;y need a border

Hi John, I use that CSS too and in IE tickboxes and radio buttons look okay on the message post screen. However if I look at the PM Inbox or even the Log In Screen in IE6 it looks awful with black boxes around each check box. Firefox of course is perfect!

[JohnJH]

:) I knew there woukld be a catch !!!

[Lemon Head]

LOL! I don't understand how a CSS (non-ID) tag can work on some pages and not on others!

[JohnJH]

Do those pages have an individual ID ?

[Lemon Head]

I'm not sure without checking. Checking? Check box? Kill me!

Yeah, I tried that too but the PM screen has the border around by default.

By the way, the fix I used also fixes the Search screen. By default it looks the same as the posting screen.

Damn all these browser issues, why can't we have one perfect browser used by everyone :lol:

why can't we have one perfect browser used by everyone

now thats a leading question :)

There must be a separate style for anything not complying w/ the parent class/tag you have styled.
