Hi,
 
I have DNN sites that use SEOMenu. All was hunky dory until IE7. For submenus to work in IE7 I was advised to change the DOCTYPE from :
 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
 
to
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 
This I did in Default.aspx and the submenu's then worked. However now, when logged in and using IE6 or IE7, the forms for Pages Settings or Module Settings are all centrally aligned rather that aligned left which makes them untidy and difficult to read. Everything under Admin or Host is fine.
 
Has anybody else seen this?
 
I've been looking for the control which is used to present Page Setttings and Module Settings but it's proving somewhat elusive. Can anybody tell me where I would find this? - or is it all compiled into a binary?
 
Am using DNN 4.3.4 on Win2k3 and Win2k, .net2

Perhaps you can make the container - the admin container aligned to left instead. I can't imagine there is total domination of the IE 7 browser - I'm runnning with IE6, IE7, Opera and Firefox on my dev machines and have only noticed that when using xhtml compliant methods and the td is set as th scope=row it by default centres everything which is a nuisance.

However, if you have a container with some classes assigned, and, if you ensure there is a left alignment in there it should help and yes it is a nuisance.

Many thanks for the reply Nina. I had applied left alignment to the admin container but it made little difference.
 
When admin functions insert a their own tables e.g. Module Definintions ->  Skin Objects then all columns are 'centred'. Doh! Seems that this doctype allows td to inherit from the div that encloses the table and that div is aligned to center.
 
There must be a control(s) (???.ascx) that presents the various admin functions - If I could find this then I could make appropriate adjustments. Any clues?
 
Cheers
 
Phil

OK...found one control (ManageTabs.ascx) to play with. seems that with doctype of:
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 
then default alignment for <td> is center rather than left. grrrr!!!
 
Maybe this needs to be accounted for in the core coding as IE7 starts to auto-upgrade everywhere.

Oh man I'm working on a new site - very exciting - converting http://www.livingthing.net.au - to DNN - and I have IE6, IE7, Firefox and Opera rendering different behaviour and guess what - the dang thing wouldn't stop centering - and I hadn't changed the doc header -

Anyway- I want to tell you that I added a p {text-align:left;} and it worked.  So add that to the CSS and it will help. You know people might be giving IE7 a hard time or bragging about the virtues of Mozilla - but I am pleased to say that I am noticing much more compliancy with IE7 than existed with IE6 - that's good news.

Now, the trick is to get the skins to behave nicely in each - and slightly Off topic - I noticed that the *container* like behaviour on livingthing.net.au doesn't show up in IE7 or Mozilla and there is the infinite scrolling - which I dislike (this is the non dnn site). 

Anyway- I thought I'd tell you how I fixed it for me-and beteween cache, computers, browsers and CSS there are some fun times ahead.

Cheers
