IE 7/8/9 problem

It seems that using 'class="colorbox-inline" also does not work in IE, resulting in a blank window with the correct background color, but the content is not in the page source at all either.

To clarify, I'm having two separate problems with IE 7/8/9:

1) colorbox-inline not working - see Login/Register links at top right of all pages at http://bsi.echoleaf.com

2) colorbox-load not working in *some* links:
- working: Contact Us links at top right of all pages at http://bsi.echoleaf.com
- not-working: Comment area Login/Register links on all interior pages, like http://bsi.echoleaf.com/news/test-blog-entry

The examples at http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/ seem to work fine on IE, so I'm surmising an issue with either the Colorbox module or a conflict with another module.

OK, I will try that and report back.

Thank you so much for enlightening me - they work fine across all browsers! And I'm quite happy since I learned something new too :) Three cheers for you!

Ah - almost forgot the last part. I'm using PHP to create the link and adding '?width=400&height=250' to the end of url results in a link like this:
/colorbox/form/user_login%253Fwidth%3D400%2526amp%3Bheight%3D250?destination=node%2F24

Here's the php that is being used to generate the link:

$options = array(
				'attributes' => array('class' => 'colorbox-load'),
				'query' => drupal_get_destination(),
				);
  			print l('Login', 'colorbox/form/user_login',  $options);

Any suggestions for adding the sizing parameters? I'm going to keep searching for a solution to the character issue too.

Thanks - someone cleared it up for me in the forums. You're right that it is part of the query - this worked:

$options = array(
   'attributes' => array(
   'class' => 'colorbox-load'
),
'query' => array(
   'destination' => drupal_get_destination(),
   'width' =>500,
   'height' => 600,
),
);
print l('Register', 'colorbox/form/user_register', $options);

Thanks again - I appreciate your help :)

I have another question on this method - where are the error messages? If I enter a username & incorrect password, I get a white screen with an unstyled form. Once I get the password right, I a get a normal error page showing the errors and the destination does not work as well:

* Sorry, unrecognized username or password. Have you forgotten your password?
* Sorry, unrecognized username or password. Have you forgotten your password?
* The page you requested does not exist. For your convenience, a search was performed using the query destination node 73.

Making the form open directly is no good if the error messages don't show to help users. I just checked and if I try to register and the passwords don't match, all I get is the white page with the unstyled form. Unless you have a solution, I'm back to the drawing board.

This is from an older post I found online but it touches on the issue:

Your first impulse might be to just send the output of drupal_get_form() to the modal. While this would display the form in the modal, it would not handle all of the submission and validation properly.

from http://zroger.com/node/31

So - any idea why there would be problems on IE with the modal window shrinking down to just the 4 corners? If I hadn't had a problem with IE than I would not have been here at all.

Here is what works & does not in IE, which can be seen at http://bit.ly/hJnvPv

At top right of page:
Works: <a href="user/login?width=400&height=240&destination=interview_advice.htm&iframe=false" class="colorbox-load">Login</a>
Does *not* work: <a href="user/register?width=700&height=400&destination=interview_advice.htm" class="colorbox-load">Register</a>
IE won't display the content of the colorbox without an ifram=false or iframe=true. This would be fine except iframe=false does NOT work.

In comment areas:
Works: <a class="colorbox-load" href="/colorbox/form/user_login?destination=node%2F61%23comment-form">Login</a>
Works: <a class="colorbox-load" href="/colorbox/form/user_register?destination=node%2F61%23comment-form">register</a>
These are great - except calling the forms directly = no error messages.

I hope someone has some concrete suggestions - I had so imagined that IE problems had mostly gone to rest with IE6...

I appreciate the help. Switched to automodal instead.
