VB powered pages doing something weird to CSS...

[N8_115]

I can't figure this out for the life of me:


Check out both in Internet Explorer


No rounded corners:

Rounded corners:
[Link Changed]



EXACT same code on both pages, index.php is being served by VB while index2.php was simply uploaded with the HTML in the file.


IN the VB powered page, it won't listen to the rounded-corners CSS code, but the non-vb powered page will...



Anyone know what's going on here?


(Latest version of vb3 if that makes a difference)

Took me a few seconds to find it, but your problem is that it's sending out IE7 compatibility headers which will cause the browser to load it in IE7 mode. IE7 doesn't support rounded borders.

index.php headers:

Cache-Control:private
Connection:Keep-Alive
Content-Encoding:gzip
Content-Length:304
Content-Type:text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

index2.php headers:

Here's the corresponding manual section: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/...ons_group_http

Send Internet Explorer 7 Compatibility Header
This option sends an HTTP header that instructs Internet Explorer 8 to render pages as Internet Explorer 7 would do so, rather than enabling full standards-compliance mode, which may result in rendering problems for templates that have not been updated for IE8.

Thank you so much! I knew there had to be something at play that I didn't understand... I've been in this game for 7 years and until now didn't know how that worked ... *face-palm*

Glad I could help. It's always where you least expect it!

I had no idea headers could influence html/css output like that!

I'm glad I actually learned something useful, rather than looking through my code for hours only to realize it was a misplaced quote or something haha
