Topic: Internet Explorer 11 renders Minichan weird.

Anonymous A started this discussion 12 years ago #34,130

I thought Microsoft was suppose to be catching up with web standards.
I heard they got decent reviews for IE v9-11.

This is embarrassing on their part.

I'm sure their dev team will be sorely embarrassed by the revelation minichan.org doesn't render perfectly.

I keep hearing that this is something Internet Explorer has a reputation for.
And it seems Microsoft has been trying to improve it.

Microsoft used to set web standards.

Now they don't, and they still haven't figured that out.

Rather. Where else are people meant to get the hottest in BBSchan content? I don't think that Microsoft will recover from this one, expect their stock to crash soon.

Does IE9-11 support HTML5 at least?

Not Internet Explorers fault :)

background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(19% 75% 90deg, rgb(112, 169, 255), rgb(143, 204, 255)) !important;


That's for example the background for the top menu box, in the blue theme. Notice the -moz- prefix. There you go.
Someone should rewrite the themes from scratch. If I catch time I might do one/two or even a few of them.

Edit: also when it comes to standard compliance, IE11 is actually pretty much leading the game. It's perhaps slow to adapt standards due to it's slow release cycle (even tho stuff gets in with windows updates too) but at least it's not making a mess with it's own "standards" like it did back in the 90s. Google took over the job with webkit, interpreting standards the way they like it, making developers use -web- prefix. Rendering shit different than it should be.

I'm happy I'm not a web dev. in this horrible transitional period due to this mess.

We also have one for webkit. Does IE support linear-gradient yet?

p.s. If you want you're free to rewrite the styles sometime. It would be appreciated.

A few years ago i worked for a company and i was tasked with building them a website (being the only person that worked there that knew how to turn things off and on and reset modems and stuff) and so i began the task of learning html and CSS, which was fine. In firefox.
i could not make it display correctly in both. The IE version was almost always borked, and when i would fix it it would generally bork the other versions. I just didn't have the skills to make it look the same.

And i mean it was stupid shit, like divs wouldn't align properly, or there'd be an outline i didn't want, or some color was off, or the margins and spacing were wrong, or the fonts were all fucked up. just endless problems. it would look perfect in FF, and IE never once looked the way i wanted it to.

I decided that web developers are fucking wizards and so i scrapped it all (couple of weeks of work) and used a WYSIWYG editor from their web host and cobbled together a few images and a couple of pages and uploaded that. Everyone was like, "oh my god, you did all that, you're a computer guru, this is amazing."

Why is this? I thought the rendering engine was similar to Gecko or WebKit.

This is why I used to use that one extension IE in Firefox or whatever it's called.

Meh, I opened the dev. console in firefox and it showed only -moz- stuff. Now checked in IE and it shows all properties, now I see you covered it pretty much all, even used:

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr='#8fccff',EndColorStr='#70a9ff')


All in all, IE9+ supports linear gradient, something like:

background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(bottom,#70a9ff,#8fccff)


That should work. Pic related. Also, I'm not much at home these days, but I'll see how much time I can catch, I always wanted to make one Metro UI like, flat with Segoe all over the place.

Just write your own style sheet already, you homo.You have the power to change it. Do so.

Nah, I just didn't know Firefox doesn't show anything besides -moz- stuff in it's dev. tools.
Pic related, IE vs. Firefox dev. tools.

Ah ok. Well if IE supports -ms-linear-gradient I might add those in there in a little bit. Thanks!

DasSheeple replied with this 12 years ago, 3 minutes later, 1 day after the original post[^] [v] #471,552

@previous (r04r)
Yeah, just add something like:

background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(bottom,#70a9ff,#8fccff);

As you can see in @471,519 (DasSheeple) (I added it via the dev. tools) works like a charm.
