Virtuemart 2.0 tab don't work in IE8.

[chocovo]

Hello,

I'm a new virtuemart user and normally I use Firefox but this evening I had my first virtuemart problem (now solved) and tried to look if it was a fierfox problem, but the great surprise has been that virtuemart 2.0 don't work fine with Intenet Explorer 8.

In products, the tabs (info - description - state - size - image - fields) don't change. The color of the tabs change when clic on but it stay on info tab.

Sorry for my bad english.

I use virtuemart 2.0 with joomla 1.5.25.

Regards.

it is even worst on ie7 .  Throws the classic error of ie7 that cannot open the page

Anyone check it with ie9 ?

As far as I can recall none of the VM2 variants (in any Joomla version) have allowed the tabs to work correctly within the Back End when using IE8, even if put into "Compatibility Mode".  You just have to scroll down manually!

Also, it is not just the tabs, the fancy icon corner folds of the Control Panel and the ability to use "Return" rather than "Click" to initially log in to Joomla fail to work - although more minor.

But, yes, all seems OK with IE9.

For fix it  need  change in vm2admin.js:

Code Select Expand

list += '<li style="width:'+tabswidth+'%"><span>'+ $(this).attr('title')+'<span></li>' ;

to

Code Select Expand

list += '<li style="width:'+tabswidth+'%"><span>'+ $(this).attr('title')+'</span></li>' ;

and for correct look in ie8
admin_ui.css:

Code Select Expand

#admin-ui-tabs ul#tabs li {
float: left;
background: #7C7D7F url(../images/admin_ui/tabs-ul-background.png) bottom repeat-x;

Thank you HBiT!

Your solution works perfectly.

Thanks for the suggested code to overcome this issue, HBiT - makes life easier when using IE8. 
However, I reckon the closing bracket  }  has been missed out.

It seems to work fine when added to the code, around Line 91 or 92  (VM 2.0.6/2.0.7)
