Invisible text fields in IE6

aarbit
I'm using OFBiz 4.0, and when I use IE6, I no longer see any text
fields.  They are still there, but somehow the CSS (or something else,
perhaps) is making their borders disappear.  I have no issues with IE7
or Firefox.  Has anyone else seen this, or found a solution?

IE6 has many other problems too. The UI was designed to work with IE7 and Firefox.

Unfortunately this is not an option. Has anyone else run into this and
been able to fix it? Thanks

Re: Invisible text fields in IE6

The back office applications use the maincss.css style sheet. You can try converting all em values
to px by multiplying by 10. I'm not 100% sure that will fix it but it's worth a try. The UI will no
longer be scalable if you go that route.

Another approach would be to Google "CSS IE Hacks" to see if there are any tips or hints on how to
solve the problem.

RE: Invisible text fields in IE6

aarbit
I found a fix for the issue.  It appears that having multiple style
names for a single style isn't supported in IE6.  So I separated the
specific style I needed and it works in all versions now.  Here's what
was broken in IE6:

input[type="text"], input[type="password"], .inputBox {
/* inputBox is deprecated */
background-color: #ffffff;
border: #999999 solid 0.1em;
font-size: 1.1em;
margin: 0.2em;
padding: 0.1em 0 0.1em 0;
}

All I did was copy and paste this below it:
.inputBox {
/* inputBox is deprecated */
background-color: #ffffff;
border: #999999 solid 0.1em;
font-size: 1.1em;
margin: 0.2em;
padding: 0.1em 0 0.1em 0;
}
