Q2 2009 renders buttons with black text on IE6 and white text on IE7

[Jon]

Hi All,

Normal formdecorator rendered buttons are showing with black text in IE6 and white text in IE7.  To get them to be consistant I want to use "color:white ! important" in the css.  What style is behind the scenes for the buttons (hovered and normal states)?

Regards,

Jon

Hello Jon,

IE6 is hard to handle, and obviously some of the skins have problems with it. Basically, it should be done like this, by using the star hack for IE6:

*html .rfdSkinnedButton .rfdDecorated
{
 color: red !important;
}

*html .rfdSkinnedButton:hover .rfdDecorated
{
 color: lime !important;
}

Have a great weekend,

Hi Martin,

You're a star - all fixed now on that.  I haven't seen the star hack for a while now.  I must admit that I don't miss working on CSS so much now I use your controls.  I always found it a very fustrating thing with all the browser differences - these days it must be even worse!

Hope you have a great weekend too!

Regards,

Jon
