IE8 - button background Image not showing?



I have a submit button which has the following CSS:







.button{

border:1px solid #015691;

background-image:url('http://boundsblazer.com/pkg/pics/

buttons/small-button.png');

color:#ffffff;

height:18px;

font-size:8pt;

font-family:sans-serif, verdana;

cursor:pointer;

line-height:14px;

margin-bottom:-5px;

border-bottom-color:#222222;



-webkit-border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px;

-moz-border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px;

border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px;

behavior: url("http://boundsblazer.com/pkg/plugins/PIE.htc");

}







and my JQuery...







$(".button").mousedown(function(){

$(this).css('border-bottom-width', '0px');

$(this).css('background-image', 'url(\'http://boundsblazer.com/pkg/pics/buttons/small-button-pressed.png\')');



$(this).mouseout(function(){

$(this).css('border-bottom-width', '1px');

$(this).css('background-image', 'url(\'http://boundsblazer.com/pkg/pics/buttons/small-button.png\')');

});

$(this).mouseup(function(){

$(this).css('border-bottom-width', '1px');

$(this).css('background-image', 'url(\'http://boundsblazer.com/pkg/pics/buttons/small-button.png\')');

});

});







Strangely, this has no problems in IE7 or IE9, just IE8. What happens is that the image for the buttons doesn't show. It works on Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, IE7, and IE9, just not IE8. If you want to see it, its http://boundsblazer.com . Please help!





On a side note, the "border solution" doesn't work, as you can see I declared the border in the CSS.





Issue solved:





The behavior tag doesn't work in IE8, so if you want PIE CSS3 for rounded borders in IE8, its a no-go. Also, adding:





background:transparent url()





and getting rid of:





background-image:url()





worked.

  1. Simple, change:

    background-image:url('http://boundsblazer.com/pkg/pics/buttons/small-button.png');


    to:

    background:transparent url('http://boundsblazer.com/pkg/pics/buttons/small-button.png');


    You'll also need to change the jquery.

    Load this in IE8

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
