Internet Explorer 6

[hal]

Can anyone else tell me of their experiences using Internet Explorer 6 to view Roundcube webmail?

Personally, I always use Firefox, which works great, but if someone wants to use IE, roundcube tends to be sluggish, with icons flashing on and off for no reason during mouseovers and clicking on emails etc often becomes unresponsive.

I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions

Thanks

The only problem I've had with IE and RC is PNG alpha transparency sometimes not working. I know that pngbehavior.htc is there to help IE along in this regard, but sometimes the images still have gray backgrounds for some reason. I've never had performance issues with IE and RC.

You've tried IE and RC from multiple PCs at different locations (work/home), all with the same result?

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Yes, other people have had the similar problems.
Does anyone know when the next release is out? Maybe the upgrade will resolve these issues.

Thanks

Hi

I'm a web-dev and we come across the flashing images issue in IE a lot. It's a bug in IE which is triggered when an anchor ( element) has a background image, whenever someone mouses over that anchor, IE makes it flash for some unknown reason. We usually solve this by placing the anchor inside a

element and setting the background image to be on the

then styling the anchor to be:

display:block;
width:100%;
height:100%;
padding:0;
margin:0;

That should do the trick!

Cheers

Thanks for your input, Neil.
Your suggestion sounds really good. I hope this will get picked up by the developer and added to the todo list.
Best wishes
