IE 9 Headache

Satch · 09-13-2012, 04:46 PM

The following works for Safari, Chrome, and Firefox but not IE 9 (I do not care abut earlier versions). The left arrow does not appear in the active or hovered pager. In order to compensate for IE9 I put conditional css in the pages header to add some extra padding on the right of the pager. See flightsafety.org. Anyone have a clue as to why?

Code:

div.views-slideshow-ddblock-cycle-vsd-upright-30p div.custom-pager a {
	background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#f6f6f7, #d1d1d1); /* Chrome 10+, Saf5.1+ */
	background-image:    -moz-linear-gradient(#f6f6f7, #d1d1d1); /* FF3.6 */
	background-image:     -ms-linear-gradient(#f6f6f7, #d1d1d1); /* IE10 */
	background-image:      -o-linear-gradient(#f6f6f7, #d1d1d1); /* Opera 11.10+ */
	background-image:         linear-gradient(#f6f6f7, #d1d1d1);
	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#f6f6f7',endColorstr='#d1d1d1');
	color: #666;
	font-weight: bold;
	display:block;
	float:left;
	padding-left: 20px;
	padding-top: 10px;
	padding-right: 5px;
	font-family: "Lucida Grande", Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size: 14px;
	font-weight: bold;
	letter-spacing: -1px;
	height: 46px;
	overflow: hidden;
	line-height: 1.2em;
	text-align: left;
	width: 175px;
}

div.views-slideshow-ddblock-cycle-vsd-upright-30p div.custom-pager a.activeSlide {
	background: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png) no-repeat -25px center; /* does not work in IE? */
	background-image: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png),
		-webkit-linear-gradient(#8cc63f, #56A00E); /* Chrome 10+, Saf5.1+ */
	background-image: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png),
		-moz-linear-gradient(#8cc63f, #56A00E); /* FF3.6 */
	background-image: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png),
		-ms-linear-gradient(#8cc63f, #56A00E); /* IE10 */
	background-image: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png),
		-o-linear-gradient(#8cc63f, #56A00E); /* Opera 11.10+ */
	background-image: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png), linear-gradient(#8cc63f, #56A00E);
	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#8cc63f',endColorstr='#56A00E');
	padding-right: 30px;
}

div.views-slideshow-ddblock-cycle-vsd-upright-30p div.custom-pager a:hover {
	background: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png) no-repeat -25px center !important; /* does not work in IE? */
	background-image: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png),
		-webkit-linear-gradient(#6facd5, #4272a4) !important; /* Chrome 10+, Saf5.1+ */
	background-image: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png),
		-moz-linear-gradient(#6facd5, #4272a4) !important; /* FF3.6 */
	background-image: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png),
		-ms-linear-gradient(#6facd5, #4272a4) !important; /* IE10 */

	background-image: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png), linear-gradient(#6facd5, #4272a4) !important;
	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#6facd5',endColorstr='#4272a4') !important;
	color: #fff !important;
	padding-right: 30px;
}

The issue you are experiencing probably has to do with:

Code:

background: url(../images/SLIDER_LEFT_ARROW.png) no-repeat -25px center;

Try changing this in your IE-only stylesheet to something like this:

Code:

background-position: 5px center !important;

Things are different in IE, things that work in Chrome/FF are probably not appearing like they should be, they're appearing as you want them to.
