I think this bug was introduced in the last 2 version.
I do not use IE6 so i didnt notice earlier.

Every main page that contains panels appears blank.
Had to abandon Garland untill the issue is fixed.

Every other page appears ok.

I did see that the panel name should not have numbers. Just alphas and underscores.
I will have to try and see if that was the problem when i have an IE6 in my hands.

I wonder was that restriction there in previous versions? If not, then this might be the problem (i guess some dropped css )

I can't reproduce this problem. With IE6 on my test site, using Garland, I can go thorugh the whole process of viewing and editing panels (mostly) just fine.

I have the same problem. Noting that is in panels is showing everything else is there.

There's got to be something else going on here; I use IE6 all the time in my test site and I can always see panels.

I usually only work in FF and so forget to check my new panels view in IE6. Darn!

I see now that my homepage panels view does not show up at all - all the content is missing.
But the panels og homepage view looks great.

I'll investigate further and see if i can see what the difference between the two is...

It seems, for me at least, that it is the 3-column stacked that doesn't work in Garland IE6 for me. That is what my homepage panels view was using. So i switched to the flexible structure (which is what i was using for my og homepage) and now i can see the panels view with all my content on the homepage except that the 3rd column jumps down to the left bottom of the page. :(

just to add, i also tried the two-column stacked panel with the same results. Works fine in FF but not ie6

Hi,

I seem to recall self-closing tags reveals a problem in IE6. The panels module with Garland is generating , which according to this post:

(relating to img_assist similar problem)

could be replaced with style to workaround IE6. Do later versions of panels use ? I guess I should look.....

Hi,

I seem to recall self-closing <span /> tags reveals a problem in IE6. The panels module with Garland is generating <span class="clear" />, which according to this post:

http://drupal.org/node/173795#comment-269149

(relating to img_assist similar problem)

could be replaced with <span></span> style to workaround IE6. Do later versions of panels use <span></span>? I guess I should look.....

I have fixed this problem on the site that was giving me problems. I found that, although it was panelled pages that were failing the span tag was produced by img_assist module. The current dev version of img_assist replaces the offending span tag with a div tag. If you have panels and are finding this problem, check your img_assist module, look in function theme_img_assist_filter

HTH

I am using Drupal 5.2 and just upgraded to the beta 11 version of panels from the beta 9 version because i was having problems with the two-column stacked layout not showing on the homepage of my site in ie6, but looks fine in FF 2. But now i see that i also in the beta 11 version the panels page on my homepage does not show at all in ie6. (Also i am not using image assist)

Version: 5.x-1.2 » 5.x-2.x-dev

Is this still valid in 2.x-dev?

I am tired of bowing down to IE's non complacency. If it were up to me I would exclude all IE users! But since I am not in a position to do so, I have found that IE7.js provided by http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2008/01/ie7-2/ is so the way to go. no more hacks! Well sort of. I would like to say a BIG GIANT ******THANK YOU**** to the developers on this one. Saved my cute tight ass! Cheers.
