The menu tabs from module Views 5.x-1.5 work well with the browser Firefox but do NOT show up with IE.

For example, I create 2 page views named view1 and view2 with url example/view1 and example/view2, set the view1 as the default tab.

Now both of the view pages and their menu tabs can display when I browse with Firefox and I can click a different tab to switch dispaly between the view pages. But if using IE6 or IE7 the menu tabs can't show up. Is there a bug for browser IE?

Hmm. Views just uses Drupal's built in menuing features to use the tabs.

Do you have this problem with tabs all over your site on IE, or just Views provided tabs?

(A good page with tabs to test this out is /user )

This problem is just for Views provided tabs. The other tabs have no problem on my site. Going to my /user page, for instance, the tabs "View" and "Edit" are visible and usable on IE.

I found the reason is that I used Chinese characters as the menu title of the tabs. If I just change the menu title of the DEFAULT menu tab to English, instead of Chinese, all of the menu tabs can show up on IE browser.

Hope IE browser supports Chinese menu titles of the tabs. Any sulotion?

Interesting. I...don't think I have any solutions or even good ideas. It's possible something's getting mangled in safety checks but I don't see any indication that's happening. It may just be that IE sucks, but I really don't know.

Currently I found a solution is that the menu title of the default menu tab starts with a English character, for example of starting with a period '.' and then follows by Chinese characters I want. Any way I can use this trick to display my Chinese tabs.

Can you find a more thorough solution?

Could you post the HTML markup of those (broken) menu tabs, please? I guess there must be something wrong in the output.
