A Couple Of Fixes For Internet Explorer

OK, so I broke down and figued I would download the new version of Internet Explorer and see how the site looks on it...Not bad microsoft...not bad. They GREATLY improved their rendering engine which they themselves named the "Broken Box Model", and cleaned up their javascript interpriter. What that means for you is - The site doesn't totally break down if you must use Internet Explorer. I would suggest upgrading to version 8 if I were you.

On a side note, there were a couple of bugs that IE had dealing with javascript that caused a couple things to break, which I think I have fixed.

  • Tabs seem to work across the board. A number of pages use tabs. if you were useing an older version of IE, you could click on them, but nothing would happen. IE was running some of the code in a different order than expected. So I re-wrote it :: FIXED (?)
  • Quick Hit messages. When you are on the main page you should now see a little pop up ticker with some of the latest & greatest happenings around the site. You can click on them and if they are linked to something else one the site, you will be magically whisked away on a mystical journey...to the next page... So :: FIXED
  • WYSIWYG Editor on profile pages for blogs loads up when I tried it in Internet Explorer 8...So...FIXED (?)

So at the very least, give your Internet Explorer an update to version 8 and things should be good around the Hitmen Website. Be sure to turn Compatability Mode OFF

P.S. - I Still Hate Internet Explorer.
