Great module. We're using it for rotating testimonials -- quotes created as rotor items, where the body text is what shows up, not an image -- in a sidebar with an orange color.

In firefox it works fine, but in IE7, the rotor quotes are in a white box in the middle of the orange sidebar. muy uglay!

Nothing I try re: CSS or the theme template seems to take. How can I change the background and font of the rotor?

Thanks.

Upate: I had to hard-code each rotor item and I still get weird little white lines/boxes in IE7. Again, it all works fine in Firefox and safari.

Would love to have more flexibility to set the background color to match a sidebar background, in cases where it's not white. thanks.

mrfelton -

Is this really fixed? I'm having the same problem, but I want my background-color to be transparent since I want to overlay the text on a gradient background. Everything looks great in Firefox and Chrome, but IE7 keeps sticking me with a white background behind the text.

Thanks,

- Chris

I can't reproduce the problem, but perhaps this is not fixed then after all. Can someone provide me with an example url?

Any idea on what is causing this, or has anyone come up with a solution, I'm stuck and can not fix with css.

Here's what causes it:

<!--[if lte IE 7]><style type="text/css" media="all">.rotor-content {background-color:#FFFFFF;}</style><![endif]-->

Shows up if you view the source of your page in IE7. Doesn't come from the theme page.tpl.php file. It's definitely being inserted by the rotor module. I tried copying and pasting that line later in the header section to override it. It sort of worked: White became the background color of the rest of my page (not the 'transparent' I order up). Still trying to fix that.

By Fixed in CVS, I mean that I removed the offending line of code as pointed out in #8, and committed the change to CVS. If you check out the code from CVS ot use the latest -dev version you shouldn't have this problem any more.

Thanks for your reply,

So i would be better off uninstalling this and getting the dev version?

mrfelton commented

yes, you need to upgrade to the -dev version.

After upgrading to the latest views, I had no choice but to upgrade to the latest rotor banner dev.

After reading #8 from the older dev, I changed the #FFFFFF color to my theme color, this seemed to bandage the problem in IE8.

Now after #12, I had to re comment the line in order for the display to show, because the background was not white, but now black.

I tried uncommenting the line in the older dev which created the same effect. This is what caused me to change the color instead.

Would this have anything to do with .js?

Thanks in advance

The conditional code that forced the background colour to white in IE has been long since removed. Closing this issue due to 4 months of inactivity.
