IE7 image rendering problem A. Sinan Unur 01-31-2008

 Hello:

I maintain a web site for a friend. I recently discovered that one page on
the site does not display properly on IE7. Here is the screenshot if you do
not use IE7:

http://browsershots.org/screenshots/398c71fd85624a9249bafb9c3bf1cb10/

The page itself can be viewed at

http://www.serhangungor.com/refs/

and the style sheet is at

http://www.serhangungor.com/site.css

Notice that some of the images are cropped or not visible and right-
clicking in the image area results in a context menu with items such as
"Show Picture" or "Save Picture" missing.

Both the HTML and the CSS validate (although I would be the last person to
claim that they are well done). The page displays properly in a whole slew
of other browsers (there does seem to be problems with Safari browsers on
Mac -- I have a feeling these are all related).

I would appreciate it if anyone can give me a clue as to what might be
going on.

Ah, one that I know very well. IE7's little problem with italic font
next to a float. Yes very bizarre. You can test to confirm, just change

blockquote.ref { font-style: italic; }

to

blockquote.ref { font-style: normal; }

and see IE7 behave. BTW IE6, 5.5 & 5 have not problem with it...this
baby is all IE7's!

Take care,

Thank you. This was driving me nuts and I would have never figured it
out on my own. Thank you.

Now, I need to explain this to my friend ;-)

Tell him that italic text is hard to read, and that you heard this on
Usenet. <g>

(It really is...)

This becoming recursive now ... I would first have to explain Usenet.

Thanks for pointing that out.
