Screenshots of EPF Wiki toolbar under FireFox, IE

Tested cross browser support of the toolbar. Focused on Windows, Linux, FireFox and Internet Explorer. Results are in the zip files. 

All tested FireFox version render the toolbar ok. IE is not ok: 1) PNG transparancy only works from msie7.0 upwards 2) positioning in IE is a little bit off (lower) causing extra whitespace.

The positioning issue can be fixed with CSS hacks. I propose we don't fix the PNG transparancy issue as this is a bug in IE and will be solved as users upgrade to more recent versions of IE.

First rendering without frames
--------------------------------
All tested FireFox versions render the toolbar the way it was designed to be rendered:
firefox-1.5.0.12-pld-titanium ok
firefox-2.0.0.4-windows-2000
firefox-1.5-windows-2000
firefox-2.0.0.14-ubuntu-7.10
firefox-3.0-windows-xp

NOK but usable, PNG not transparant:
msie-6.0-windows-2000
msie-5.5-windows-2000

Almost OK, positioning is a few pixels off (lower), causing extra whitespace
msie-8.0-windows-xp
msie-7.0-windows-xp

Rendering when in frames
------------------------
All tested FireFox versions render the toolbar the way it was designed to be rendered:
firefox-2.0.0.14-pld-titanium (navbar is grey)
firefox-1.5.0.12-pld-titanium (navbar is grey)
firefox-3.0-ubuntu-8.04
firefox-2.0.0.4-windows-2000(navbar is grey)
firefox-1.5-windows-2000
firefox-3.0-windows-xp

NOK but usable, PNG not transparant:
msie-6.0-windows-2000
msie-5.5-windows-2000

Almost OK, positioning is a few pixels off (lower), causing extra whitespace
msie-7.0-windows-xp

The 'Manage' menu 'Sites, User' etc is unacceptably aligned in IE. I forgot that menu
Comment 3 Onno van der Straaten CLA 2008-07-15 02:26:46 EDT 
Added IE specific settings using !important, see wiki.css and default.css
Comment 4 Onno van der Straaten CLA 2008-08-21 03:52:45 EDT 
For a perfect tool bar with a snug fit to top, left, right corner the following style should be used. This renders exactly the same for IE and FireFox and also works with RMC published sites. 

This of course does not fix issue PNG transparancy in IE6.

div#epfwiki_header {
	margin: 0px;
	top: 0px;
	left: 0px;
	right: 0px;  
	height: 30px;
}

div#toolbar {
	position: absolute;
	top: 0px;
	left: 0px;
	right: 0px;	
	height: 24px;	
	background: url(../images/tab_background.png);
}

ol#toc {
    list-style: none;
    margin-left: 10px;
	margin-top: 0px;	
    padding: 0;
    font-size: x-small;
    height: 24px;
    font-family: Microsoft Sans Serif;
    font-weight: bold;
}
