Checkboxes badly lined up in forms lib, e.g. "students may review" settings on quiz settings screen

Jamie, this is a generic forms lib problem, and after a brief look, I can't work out how to solve it, so I am assigning it to you. Sorry.

Sorry, here is more information, the problem is this code at the end of theme/standard/styles_ie6/7.css:

/*fix for misalignment of text fields in ie */
form.mform input {
margin-left: -10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}

form.mform .fcheckbox input {
margin-left: -3px;
}

According to CVS, that code was originally done by you, Jamie, then modified by Marting D.

Reassigning to Urs. Hope that you can find a nice solution for this issue Urs since you have more of an in depth knowledge of css and the quirks of different browsers handling of css.

This seams to be a bigger issue. When I take out the negative left margin all text input fields in that form are not aligned with the other fields. May be we need to change forms lib to add classes to be able to correct this IE misbehavoiur I'll investigate ...

problem with correct alignment of ie form elements continues. Previous fix for same issue in MDL-7779 also causes problems. Will remove previous fix from standard theme.

Added CSS 2 attributed to fix IE7 and IE specific "expression" JavaScript in CSS properties to fix IE6. If you find still issues please reopen.

In IE6, the problem is solved.

In IE7, the problem appearing at the beginning of texts is fixed but the end it still not fixed.

I thought I fixed this in MDL-9126 ?

I applied a similar correction to 1.8 as previously to 1.9. (Sorry, I forgot to mention that I appleid the correction only to 1.9)

Ryan, what do you mean with "... but the end it still not fixed." What end is not fixed? Can you please show an example?

I mean check boxes overlap with the words in front of them which shows in the screen shot, IE7 quiz oversized text overlap not fixed.jpg. I tried that on several browsers and it only happens in IE7 right now.

Ryan, with the lastest Moodle versions 1.8 and 1.9 I don't get overlaping text.

Which version are you using and which theme?

Sorry to re-open this. I'm not seeing overlapping form fields any more, but what i have noticed is that if you switch to text mode rather than wysiwyg mode when you're using the HTML editor, in IE6 only the first character of every line is pushed off the left-hand edge.

This is caused by the same margin-left: -10px for textarea that's being discussed elsewhere in this issue.

If you open the html editor in fullscreen mode, it is fine.

Thanks for reporting this issue.
