Using the Drupal Colorbox module with Internet Explorer

This problem has been driving me crazy! I'm struggling to make Colorbox show the borders correctly in IE7 (and even in IE6, but I'll settle for just IE7 at this point!).

You can check out the issue here. When you click on a picture in the gallery or the login link, Colorbox is supposed to display properly. Everything looks good in FF, but in IE, the borders disappear. Can anyone figure out what's causing this and, better yet, how to solve it?

Thank you!

Answer №1

Success! After experimenting with different solutions in my theme file without much luck, I decided to attempt the fix directly in the Colorbox library's folder (even though it felt like tampering with the core system).

Here's a tip for those who may encounter the same issue:

  1. Go to sites/all/libraries/colorbox/[insert your colorbox preset name here - mine was "example1"]/colorbox.css and make a copy of it.
  2. Rename the copied file to colorbox.css.bak
  3. Open the original colorbox.css
  4. Delete the specific lines located at the bottom of the file.
/*
        The following fixes png-transparency for IE6.
        It is also necessary for png-transparency in IE7 & IE8 to avoid 'black halos' with the fade transition

        Since this method does not support CSS background-positioning, it is incompatible with CSS sprites.
        Colorbox preloads navigation hover classes to account for this.

        !! Important Note: AlphaImageLoader src paths are relative to the HTML document,
        while regular CSS background images are relative to the CSS document.

.cboxIE #cboxTopLeft{background:transparent; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=images/internet_explorer/borderTopLeft.png, sizingMethod='scale');}
.cboxIE #cboxTopCenter{background:transparent; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=images/internet_explorer/borderTopCenter.png, sizingMethod='scale');}

.cboxIE #cboxBottomCenter{background:transparent; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=images/internet_explorer/borderBottomCenter.png, sizingMethod='scale');}
.cboxIE #cboxBottomRight{background:transparent; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=images/internet_explorer/borderBottomRight.png, sizingMethod='scale');}
.cboxIE #cboxMiddleLeft{background:transparent; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=images/internet_explorer/borderMiddleLeft.png, sizingMethod='scale');}
.cboxIE #cboxMiddleRight{background:transparent; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=images/internet_explorer/borderMiddleRight.png, sizingMethod='scale');}
  1. Save your changes in colorbox.css and you're all set!

Answer №2

Have you noticed all those lines in the colorbox.css file that start with ".cboxIE"? My guess is that the culprit is the "filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader...;" property. I encountered a similar issue with IE7 in the past - this property is meant to address problems with transparent PNGs for IE, but it doesn't always work as intended. If you want your design to display properly in IE6, you might need to explore another PNG fix solution. Personally, I found that removing all instances of ".cboxIE" classes from the bottom of colorbox.css resolved the issue, or at least deleting the filter property while keeping the "background: transparent;" rule intact.

I hope this information proves helpful!
