IE won't allow document.createElement('style')

Permalink | Explorer 5-6 Windows, Explorer 7, Explorer Mac | 15 comments
Reported on 18 January 2006

If you try to add style declarations in the head of a document, IE borks at the name 'style' - "unexpected call to method or property access".

I guess its getting confused between the head element <style> and the object property .style?

Explorer z-index bug

Permalink | Explorer 5-6 Windows, Explorer 7 | 11 comments
Reported on 17 January 2006

In Internet Explorer positioned elements generate a new stacking context, starting with a z-index value of 0. Therefore z-index doesn't work correctly.

Mirror margins

Permalink | Opera | 1 comments
Reported on 16 January 2006

Setting LI margins (margin-top:40px; margin-bottom:0px) or any other combination does not change the layout: Opera *always* duplicates the margin-top value for the bottom margin.

Tested in Opera 8.51. ppknote: Solved in Opera 9.

Stretched buttons bug

Permalink | Explorer 5-6 Windows, Explorer 7 | 5 comments
Reported on 5 January 2006

If an input is given a type "button" or "submit" and the value used to apply text to the button is over 18 characters long, the button is shown stretched horizontally. The top and bottom border is also thicker. The effect increases with the length of the button text used.

This site is no longer maintained. I’m sorry, but it’s just too much work for too little return. You can continue to browse old bug reports, though.
