IE7: Programmatic ValidationTextBox in a list scrolls all crazy-like

[guest]

I'm creating a list inside a DIV programmatically. The list is longer than the height of the DIV so its scrolls. On FF and IE6 (unbelievably) it works fine, but IE7 scrolls all weird. When I scroll in IE7, the boxes scroll, but the text inside the box does not scroll. Then when scrolling is done, the visual mess remains until I hover over and then it gets worse -- with labels appearing beyond the bounds of the parent DIV.

Anyway... this code was working OK in 0.9, but the move to 1.0 broke this.

Doug -- please assess whether this needs to go into 1.0.x

I'm not sure yet what's going on. It looks like some weird problem with nested TABLE tags. My prototype 1.1 code that doesn't use tables works fine with this test example.

Marking for 1.1; Doug will change template to not use <table> tags in 1.1 and that will fix the problem.

Since I'll be stuck on the 1.0.* stream for a while, is there a way I can manually patch my local copy?

[Adam Peller]

Sure. svn has merge tools, and depending on the complexity of the fix, it might be reasonably straightforward to just copy over changes to the template. If this turns out to be a simple fix or a major issue, perhaps we can reconsider the 1.0.x thing after this lands.

(In [11677]) Fixes #4388, #4894, #5148, #5235 in v1.1. Changed the form input widgets from tables to divs to avoid browser incompatibilities with box sizings and nested table issues.
