RE: Certain box graphics are not displaying correctly

I am having similar problems in Facebook with IE v8.0. Especially when I
want to move and reposition items in my Boxes tab. As soon as I select a box
to move/reposition, ghost images of the box appear and "all hell breaks
loose." Meaning, the I can't reposition anything and have to exit that tab.
Firefox, on the other hand, does not have this provblem. I hope somebody can
explain and/or suggest a fix to this weird and unacceptable behavior.

Sincerely,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Is "Include updated website lists from Microsoft" on the Tools>Compatibility
View Settings dialog checked.

Is "Automatically recover from rendering errors with Compatibility View" on
the Advanced tab of Internet Options checked?

Regards.

Yes. "Include updated website lists from Microsoft" is checked in
Compatibility View Settings, and "Automatically recover from rendering errors
with Compatibility View" is checked in Advanced Settings. The
moving/repositioning of Facebook boxes/posts still occurs, consistently.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the feedback and pic. Unfortunately I cannot offer you any other
advice. I visited facebook my self and had a look around to try an reproduce
the problem, but did not have any problems except for script errors on most
pages.

I validated some of their pages (Developer tool>Validate menu) and there are
a lot of markup errors that they(facebook developers) have not fixed yet
(and probably won't). Facebook is on the MS Compatibility list because of
this and this is why I asked you to check those settings.

Apart from that if you are using a Facebook Addon (either from Facebook or
from a third party) they may be the cause of your problems (I have tested
on search bar, which was written in .net, and it did not agree with IE8). A
cursory visit in no-Addons mode will test this.

Regards.
