Subject: FIXED: Internet Explorer select text bug
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Several DITA Ed. Board members reported that they could not highlight or "select" text rendered on the pages of the dita.xml.org
website.
The IE "select text" bug is a common bug that gets introduced whenever CSS floats are used in layout that also uses the '<base>'
HTML tag.
This is not a bug that is unique to Drupal or the FriendsElectric theme. Apparently the base tag exposes a bug in Internet
Explorer's ability to render.
The fix that I implemented (while trying to preserve the well-formedness of the XHTML) was to add a conditional comment that only IE
speaks, closing the base tag in a broken way that only IE
understands: <base></base> instead of <base /> which is proper.
So, in a nutshell: it is fixed.
Non-IE clients will get well-formed markup that works.
IE clients will get 'IE' markup that works.
If you notice that it is not fixed, please report your findings with the exact version of browser you are using. Thank you.
Carol, please forward this message.
