[Plugin: Shadowbox JS] Doesn’t work with Internet Explorer 8.0 RC1.

(The background fades to black but no window pops up.)

As the name states it is Internet Explorer 8.0 RC1 and there a lot of things that will not work correctly with it. The problem is not the fault of my plugin or the implementation but shadowbox.js which was created and maintained by someone else.

There are numerous topics on his forums about IE8. In short as IE8 is not final release there are no fixes as the author hasn’t released any.

Feel free to search through the shadowbox.js forums here: https://n2.nabble.com/Shadowbox-f1309102.html

For future reference I will generally not support plugin questions on the www.ads-software.com forums. All questions/problems relating to my plugins should be posted at https://forum.sivel.net/

Lets wait and see then… thnx for your reply.

We’re way beyond IE8 RC1. Still does not work.

IE8 has been released and shadowbox is still a no go… anyone have a fix?

There has been no mention by Michael J. I. Jackson that he will be releasing an update to shadowbox.js that will fix the incompatibility with IE8 any time soon.

I am working on a solution to include with the plugin and will be releasing in the next several days.

New version released. See https://sivel.net/2009/03/shadowbox-js-v2041/

Hi all,

to fix the IE8 problem, add the following to your skin css file:

#shadowbox_title {
  border: 0px solid;
} 

#shadowbox_info {
  border: 0px solid;
}

IE8 gets border-top-width and border-bottom-width as medium if it is not set.
