IE7: Vista vs. XP

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:13:29 GMT

At the end of my post last week when I began a series on learning jQuery, I mentioned that I might have found a bug. This bug involved columns at the bottom of last weeks demo to be rendered differently when I viewed the same code on my Windows XP computer and my Windows Vista computer. At the time of the post, the images that you saw in last weeks post, were taken from my Windows XP computer and they looked fine in the browsers that I test in (IE7, IE8 beta 1, Opera, Firefox, and Safari). When I looked at the code on my Vista box, the columns had a line break after each one even with the CSS property of display:inline-block; and float:left;.
