Milestone: tbd → 1.4
Owner: set to bill
Status: new → assigned
Summary: TabContainer: problem display in IE 7 → TabContainer: gap in vertical border b/w labels and content (tundra, IE7)

I've seen this problem reported before but I can't find the ticket now. I don't remember what we/I decided to do. The problem reproduces in test_TabContainer.html on the second and third examples.

I think it's from the spacer (dijitTabContainerTop-spacer), which on IE just has a top border and no side border (since it has no height).

I'll see if I can fix it easily.

BTW please try to be specific when filing a ticket; it helps when searching. "has problems display" could mean many things.

comment:2 Changed 13 years ago by bill

Setting display:none on the dijitTabContainerTop-spacer solves half of the problem (the gap on the right).

As for the gap on the left it's caused because:

  • each tab label (.dijitTab) has a black left border but white bottom border... depending on the browser, the bottom left pixel could be either black or white.
  • On IE it's a white pixel, and the gap in the TabContainer's border is that white pixel covering up the black border behind it.

Could solve it by shifting all the tabs a few pixels to the right, like nihilo and soria does...

comment:3 Changed 13 years ago by bill

PS: typo... not "each tab label (.dijitTab)", but rather the *selected* tab label (.dijitTabChecked)" IE, the white one not that gray ones.

comment:4 Changed 13 years ago by bill

(In [18759]) Remove strange CSS for spacer... tundra just doesn't have a spacer in TabContainer?, so at the most all we need is display: none. Gets rid of the gap on the right hand side (in the vertical border).

Refs #9509.

comment:5 Changed 13 years ago by bill

If you add this CSS to your page it will offset tab labels a bit and avoid the missing pixel problem: 

.tundra .dijitTabContainerTop-tabs,
.tundra .dijitTabContainerBottom-tabs {
	padding-left: 3px;
}

Not sure I like the way it looks though, what do you think?

This occurs on all versions of IE.

It is an admissible variant. I have loaded new version Dojo 1.3.2 and I have the same problem

Resolution: → fixed
Status: assigned → closed

(In [19279]) Avoid gap in vertical border between TabContainer? labels and content (in tundra on IE) by indenting tab labels. Note that tab labels were already indented for soria and nihilo, and for tundra w/a tabstrip.

Fixes #9509.
