I’m having a problem on how to fix the width of FB Recommendations plugin. For Example my plugin width is 250px. It works on IE 8 and above, Firefox and Google Chrome.
But when i view my site in IE 6 the width is 300px.
This is what I’m seeing in IE6 and looks much the same as Firefox. Where do you see the issue? Have you got a screenshot showing the problem more clearly.
I don’t believe Facebook supports IE6 any more anyway so there may be an issue with their code but as I say I can’t see the problem you mention anyway.
(Note: link was received via PM for anyone following this thread and wondering where the screenshot came from)
You’ll need to test on a real IE6 or use ietester as I doubt those rendering sites are accurate and I guess they don’t handle the iframes within the plugins correctly either.
The image I showed you came from IE6tester earlier and shows the plugiun working. However, I just tried to have another look and both ietester and netrendrer refuse to load that page in IE6 so I can’t double check.
I use IEtester for IE6 and it renders CSS pretty much perfectly but I wouldn’t rely on it for javascript although I seldom see any issues.
I use IE8 for real on this computer and IE9 on another computer. For Ie7 I do have a laptop running IE7 but I tend to still use IEtester. Facebook doesn’t support IE6 I believe anyway but I usually add ie6 support albeit with a limited experience in some cases.
You can’t rely on the screen shot services to provide 100% accuracy especially where you have things like that facebook iframe loading and the special tags that won’t work unless javascript is enabled.
