TagCloud rendered wrong in IE

Post by worstcase »

Hi,
after creating a theme for my website i realized that the tagcloud-plugin is not rendered correctly in IE (all versions). The lines are overlapping each other. Don't know, how it looks in other themes. It's build of span-tags only, so i am wondering, what could be wrong for IE. Someone with an idea? All other browsers seems to render the page in correct way.
You can see, what i mean in left sidebar of page http://www.steve-baumann.de/
Thx for your help.
Regards, Steve

Hi!

Hm, I believe this is caused by your styles' "line-height" attribute that carries over to the taglist. Maybe you need to add a

Code: Select all

.container_serendipity_plugin_freetag span {
  line-height: auto;
}

to it? Also the "vertical-align: top" of your body tag might be a problem? Sadly it works all fine in Firefox, and changing CSS on the fly in IE does not seem possible, so I can't try it out here.

Bottom line is, it's a problem of your current theme, not of the tag plugin itself. It's simply caused by large font sizes and a differing lineheight/alignment so that IE tries to fit large fonts into the same line.

Regards,
Garvin
