I have been struggling with this product on my first design. It seemed to work great. I did a sample layout of a slider I'm designing and just put the basics in with some backgrounds to test. rnrnIt looks great in Dreamweaver, but when I preview or bring it up in a local or remote browser (IE7,8,9, FF, Safari)...it only displays one small piece.rnrnI have it set up at: http://173.248.133.36/slider/slider.htmlrnrnScreenshot of Dreamweaver is at: http://173.248.133.36/slider/screenshot.pngrnrnI have no clue how to fix this or what the issue is. Can someone please help?rnrnrnrn

Hello,

All the background images except for the "title" one have background-attachment set to "fixed". It should be "scroll".

So go in the editor press the "change" button and change the "Attachment" property.

Thanks, Andrei. I made the changes, and it worked in IE8 and Firefox. It doesn't work in IE9 though. Do you know when the product witll support IE9 or what the fix is for this issue? I have attached a screenshot of what the page looks like in IE9: http://173.248.133.36/slider/screenshot2.png

Hello Matt,

Flexi CSS Layouts supports IE 9. In fact there aren't any known issues with that browser.

I tested your page in my IE 9 and it looks fine. I can send you a screenshot by email if you want.

Can you please tell me the exact version of IE 9 that you used for testing?

Regards,

Thanks again. The IE version is 9.0.8112.16421 running on a Win7 64-bit. It's mysterious.

Now, it looks fine.

However, when I run it on my localhost...I still get the same problem as seen in the screenshot above. I ensured that I refreshed and that both sites and all files were exctly the same.

The Debug ON/OFF option does not display locally either. Should it? I have the site set up as a .NET C# site in Dreamweaver and haven't encountered any other issues thus far.

Thanks for you help. At least I know the product seems to work on the site we're building, and I can start trying to more with it.

If you have any insight on the localhost issue, please share. Cheers.

Hello Matt,

That's very strange. Does your local server keep cache or something?

Debug mode probably doesn't work because it's a local script and IE blocks it. You should be prompted to run the script if you want. Check your security options in IE.

Still can't figure out the local issue with not displaying correctly and not having debug mode available. I will check security options. It isn't the cache.

The issue is still not resolved with IE9 however. If you look at this page http://173.248.133.36/slider/slider.html with IE9 and Firefox, you can see in IE9 that the background image (the castle with fireworks) is like 25px down on the top, creating white space or padding. In Firefox and IE8 it is fine and looks exactly like it does in Dreamweaver.

I'm still not entirely comfortable I can use this product with IE9...at least not "without coding"...like it claims. What do you see on your side with IE9. I have tried two separate computers here, and I've tried altering some of the CSS to see if I can figure out the cause of the discrepancy. I'm falling behind on the project, so your promptness will be much appreciated.

Thanks!
