Background Zoom Bug

Permalink | Explorer 7 | 1 comments
Reported on 14 December 2006

IE7 apparently ignores the body element when zooming. So if a background image is applied to the body, zooming the page spoils the layout, as the image isn't resized to match the zoom value. Only elements within the body are affected by zoom.

Reported on 12 December 2006

Placing a right-floated element in a left-positioned absolutely-positioned element causes the following behavior:

My understanding of the box model spec is that Opera and iCab's behavior is correct; if anyone can corroborate this it would be greatly appreciated.

Floats with position: relative and percentage-value body margin inaccurately repositioned on page resize

Permalink | Explorer 5-6 Windows, Explorer 7 | 0 comments
Reported on 11 December 2006

If your document's body uses a percentage value as a left or right margin, then position:relative (even without left/top/bottom/right declared), floated elements inside a containing block with a defined width, will not reposition accurately (or at all) as the page is resized. Reloading the page after resizing fixes the problem - just like a Netscape 4 bug.
