phpns

Category dropdown not visible in IE7

Asked by Cogitat

I have an issue where users cannot select a category because it seems to be hidden by the editor in IE7. It works fine in Firefox with correct functionality. Is this something easy to fix within the template?

There are some serious issues with phpns and Internet Explorer (6 and 7)
such as the category bug. Kyle and I have decided that we will not fix
these issues, because we are currently in post-development. I recommend
you just use Firefox 2 or 3.

You may be able to fix it yourself; feel free to try. The template files
(and CSS file) are going to be files to work with, but also,
inc/function.php has a lot of HTML that you may need to work with.

Good luck!

Thanks for poointing me in the right direction. All I needed to do for a quick fix was edit:

<select name="article_cat" id="category">
      <option value="all">All categories</option>
      <optgroup label="Categories">
      '.$data['cat_list'].'
      </optgroup>
     </select><br />
     <br />
     <br />

This dropped the editor down far enough to show the category dropdown.

Thanks again!!!
