Hi

 

I am struggling to get a button to work in IE8 however it works in all other browsers including IE8 compatibility mode. Has anyone else experienced this and has anyone go any suggestions on how to fix this. www.myfitnessfamily.co.uk is the link problematic site.

You'll have to help us out a bit. Where's the send button?

just tried the one on the Contact page using IE8 and it told me the message was sent.

The send button is part of a registration form I created. I have re styled the standard registration form in wordpress. It works in every browser accept IE8 in non compability. If you switch on compatibility mode it works.

Code below:

 <form name="registerform" id="form1" action="<?php echo site_url('wp-login.php?action=register', 'login_post') ?>" method="post">
     <h2>Register to Join</h2>
<fieldset>	
<p>
	<label>Full Name (Joe Bloggs)<br />
	<input type="text" name="user_login" id="user_login" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($user_login)); ?>" size="20" tabindex="10" /></label>
</p>
	<p>
	<label><?php _e('E-mail') ?><br />
	<input type="text" name="user_email" id="user_email" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($user_email)); ?>" size="25" tabindex="20" /></label>
</p>
<?php do_action('register_form'); ?>
<div class="postcodetxt">
</div>
<p id="reg_passmail"><?php _e('A password will be e-mailed to you.') ?></p>
    </fieldset>
  	<br class="clear" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $redirect_to ); ?>" />
   <p class="submit"><button type="submit" name="wp-submit" ></button></p>		
</form>

I have tried the contact form and this does not work for me. The browser I am using is IE8.0.6001

8.0.7601.17514 here

could it be done to the individual release of IE8... that is crazy... I am really stuck with this as I have my clients complaining they can't register....

I can confirm it doesn't work here on 8.0.6001.19170.

 

May have been an issue with that release. Quick solve would be to tell people to uprgrade as i can't see any particular issue in the wild that would cause a non functioning <button>.

 

Not sure which version XP users are stuck on but i'm sure it's a later release.

Actually, IE8 may be having issues as there is nothing between the <button> and </button>.

Try a quick test by inserting some text and see if you can then submit.

humm thats going to be difficult to do... people are struggling to enter the right details in a form... get them to do switch on automatic updates will almost impossible.

 

There must be some code out there... I have been searching for hours.

Yep that works now... great no how do only show the text if its IE8?

Conditional text indent?

yep ok trying that now. Thank you for your assistance

No problem. Give us a shout when it's done and I'll give it a whirl.

arrrgggghhhhhhhhh I HATE IE8 fire fox its lines up just about give or take with IE8 its not in the right postion...

I have added the image for the button just have a go at http://www.myfitnessfamily.co.uk/my-promotions

Yup the hit area works now and i can submit the form.

excellent just got to sort out the position as now the img of the button is different in FF,Chrome,IE,Safari but at least the form works

Sod the image put an underscore and then I am going to re colour it...
