IE6 Phantom Text / Duplicate Text Bug

Posted in Programming | Trackback | 1 Comment

Just for purposes of documenting this useful knowledge:

When viewing in Internet Explorer 6 and experiencing the “strange-repeated-text” problem, try applying this CSS to the element containing the text that gets repeated:

float: none;
clear: both;

Force IE8 to Render Like IE7

Posted in Programming | Trackback | No Comments

Found this little snippet yesterday. I’m not saying that this is best practice in any way, but if you’re looking for a quick fix, here it is:

<meta content='IE=EmulateIE7' http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible'/>

I think this has the effect of enabling “Compatibility Mode” that the user would normally have to turn on.

As a side note, the specific reason I used this was to make a Google Friend Connect widget render properly — there are plenty of posts on the web about those widgets not working in IE8.
