Setting accesskey attribute using setAttribute() is case-sensitive

Permalink | Explorer 5-6 Windows, Explorer 7, Explorer Mac | 3 comments
Reported on 29 July 2005

In Explorer, if you need to set the accesskey attribute using setAttribute(), the attribute name passed in must be "accessKey" and NOT "accesskey".

Setting position: relative on html and body in strict mode

Permalink | (Orphaned), Explorer 5-6 Windows, Safari | 1 comments
Reported on 20 July 2005

In Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher, setting html, body {position: relative;} while in strict mode causes the browser to disallow scrolling. I don't know of any real-world applications where this would be a problem, but it's still a bug.

In Safari the entire body disappears if you set position: relative on the HTML first, and then on the BODY. Safari crashes if you check BODY, then HTML, then uncheck BODY.

Workarounds include using quirks mode, or playing it safe and avoiding setting positioning to the html element.

Ordered list rendering with width on LIs

Permalink | Explorer 5-6 Windows | 8 comments
Reported on 8 July 2005

It seems that if I attempt to specify the width of a list item tag (<li>) using either a CSS class or a STYLE attribute, IE does not increment the number in front of list each item. i.e. instead of a list with items numbering 1, 2, 3, and 4, I get a 4 item list numbering 1, 1, 1, and 1.

(ppknote: This bug is very similar, but not identical, to width on ol/ul.)

float left and background problem

Permalink | Explorer 5-6 Windows | 6 comments
Reported on 6 July 2005

Elements don't display correctly if they have a background color and a child element that uses float: left.

The #content{background: #FFFFFF;} declaration is the source of the problems. Remove it and the hidden element displays fine.

Bug applies only to Explorer 6.

Wrapped inline+nowrap elements lose padding-left

Permalink | Explorer 5-6 Windows, Explorer 7 | 0 comments
Reported on 4 July 2005

When IE6 wraps an inline element with white-space:nowrap onto the next line, the element loses its left padding. Workaround is to use inline-block display instead of inline, though this doesn't work for list items.

display:-moz-inline-box + text-align = bug

Permalink | (Orphaned), Mozilla | 2 comments
Reported on 1 July 2005

Text inside a display:-moz-inline-block element cannot be aligned. Not only that, it doesn't do word wrapping.
