grid header styles broken in ie6

[Denis]

is there a workaround for the broken IE6 grid headers?
I've attached screenshots of how it looks in ie8 compared to ie6.

this is without applying any ie6 specific styling myself.

edit: I'm currently using MVC Q1 2010 SP2

Hi Denis,

The problem is fixed in the beta and in the upcoming Q2 release.

thanks for the quick reply.

is there a workaround for the current version I'm using?
for instance some ie6 specific css?
I have to deliver to a client in 3 weeks and their IT policy is to only use IE6. providing a beta to them carries too much risk.

Hi Denis,

The official build will be out due to the end of this week. We addressed a number of IE6 issues -- it might save you some time. You can even try out the beta and report any issues that you might encounter, so that the official release suits you better.

Installing a new version and potentially introducing more bugs 1.5weeks before release to the client is not an option.
for anyone interested:
I fixed the style issues by putting the following in an ie6 only stylesheet:

(I've had to use !important on most items to force an override of the telerik styles)

.t-header .t-link

{

    float: left !important;

    padding-left: 8px !important;

    overflow: hidden !important;

}

.t-grid-filter

{

    float: right;

    position: relative;

}

for some reason the edit/update/insert buttons are a mix of <button> and <a> tags, to standardize how they are displayed in ie6 I also added this to my ie6 only stylesheet:

.t-grid-delete, .t-grid-update, .t-grid-insert

{

    padding: 0px !important;

    padding-top: 1px !important;

    margin-top: -1px !important;

    margin-bottom: -1px !important;

}

.t-button

{

    text-decoration: none !important;

}

-regards
Denis.

Hello,

I was just wondering when a release addressing this issue is planned for. The link to the beta release is not working for me.

The problem still exists and can be seen by loading this page in IE6. We are currently running Telerik_Extensions_for_ASPNET_MVC_2010_2_930_Dev.msi. The problem still exists in this release. We are also using a style generated at http://stylebuilder.telerik.com/. It is a great tool.

Thanks for the changes Denis. We might end up doing that.

Thanks Denis.

I am wondering if you can also help me with this issue. (I was so excited that it was fixed in v2011.1 but this release has several flaws. I reverted to v2010.3.1318)


[Edit]: I adjusted Denis' solution because some controls like NumericTextbox will be affected:

th.t-header .t-link

{

    float: left !important;

    padding-left: 8px !important;

    overflow: hidden !important;

}
