User Tabs - gone again? IE only.

[Xtrato]

ok so i looked around to see if i could fine some solution ,, and i didnt.

So every time i create a new style the tabs disappear in Internet Explorer..., like i just edit the header ( from original vb template ) and they are gone..

whats causing this , i have tried it since the Betas, up to the RC1 , and still happens , i mean if its going to be like this , those who want to edit the style, will make their tabs disappear .

Im using RC1 , and agian , the tabs disappear after i edit the ORIGINAL Template , not another one , the one that Came with this Release.

Any help would be great... only happens in IE , not FF , so im lost.

Do you have a link where this occuring at?

[Xtrato]

not really , everything is in my local machine , im developing a few skins and none seem to work right in IE when viewing the profile page.

I have tried to just add a header etc , but it disappears.

[Xtrato]

Anyone has an idea with this? i think its critical for most people .

well i think i found a momentary solution , not sure if vB will make any changes...

But here is MY PROBLEM and MY SOLUTION , hopefully this will help others and avoid the 3-4 hour search


Problem , after editing ether the header or footer of the ORIGINAL TEMPLATE , the tabs in IE DISAPPEARED , many said had to do with CSS, but how so , when that has never been touched... other said some other weird stuff.. well here is another weird one.

Pretty much the custom templat is build on tables.... so i noticed you cant put any closing tables after the fallowing Code in The FOOTER:::

<if condition="$show['dst_correction']">
<!-- auto DST correction code -->
<form action="profile.php?do=dst" method="post" name="dstform">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="dst" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var tzOffset = $bbuserinfo[timezoneoffset] + $bbuserinfo[dstonoff];
var utcOffset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60;
if (Math.abs(tzOffset + utcOffset) == 1)
{ // Dst offset is 1 so its changed
document.forms.dstform.submit();
}
//-->
</script>
<!-- / auto DST correction code -->

</if>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Main vBulletin Javascript Initialization
vBulletin_init();
//-->
</script>

so if you have a <table><tr><td> on the header ,and you want to close it in the footer...make sure its before that code up there....

I dont know if this is a good solution or not , BUT IT WORKED for me ...

thank you that helped a lot

[smackLAN]

unfortunately this isn't the case with me...I have several doing this in IE and do not have closing beyond that...so the search continues

Moving that whole piece of code to the bottom of the footer fixed mine as well.

Will it do any harm down there at the bottom?

Didn't worked for me either... and it's the same in IE and FF.

I have custom tables all over the place and even reverting the footer didn't make the tabs appear in IE. I had to revert the header and the footer.

[cmeinck]
