dojo widgets broken in IE5.5

[christianm]

IE version 5.50.4807.2300 Fully patched Win2k system

Most of the dojo widgets I tested in IE 5.5 either did not work properly or were not rendered at all. These tests were done with the 0.3.1 ajax build provided from the big button at the top right of the dojotoolkit.org page.

I verified that the widgets tested still performed properly with the latest firefox (version 1.5.0.4).

The widgets were tested locally, but the dojotoolkit website itself renders improperly (incompletely) in IE 5.5, so I suspect this is a general problem with IE 5.5. Below is a listing of broken and working widgets from the included demo directory in the downloaded package. I suspect a carry through error from the dojo core.

I also spot tested several widgets from the nightly test directory, which also failed, but are not listed below.

Working Widget Samples:

datePicker

editor

Broken Widget Samples:

accordionContainer

comboBox

contentPane

dialog (working, but timeout fails)

fisheye (functional, but broken image paths)

form (no red text by required fields)

mail

rounded (broken alignment on some examples)

splitContainer (only horizontal splitter appears missing)

tabContainer (gfx hosed, but functional)

tooltip

Yeah, no one is really testing/fixing IE5.5, although it is supported in theory.
