Border Radius in IE
« on: February 25, 2014, 12:22:26 pm »
Forum Url: http://fordhamfans.smfforfree.com
I created a new stylesheet for my forum, looking to eliminate the need for images unless absolutely necessary.

To get the rounded edges for the menus I am using border radius.

For maintab_back, for instance, I have the following
.maintab_back
{
   color:#800000;
   background-color: #FFFFFF;
   border-left:1px solid #800000;
   border-right:1px solid #800000;
   border-bottom:1px solid #800000;
   border-bottom-right-radius:10px;
   border-bottom-left-radius:10px;
}

This works well enough in Chrome, but in IE11 border-bottom-right-radius and border-bottom-left-radius seem to be ignored.  When right-click and "inspect element" in developer tools those two properties show with a red squiggly underline.  When I try to type the property in on the developer tool it is not available.  If I do the same on this support forum, the property is available however, so it does not appear to be an issue inherent to IE11, but rather something in my stylesheet possibly.  I have not tested other browsers yet.

My CSS is contained in the code box below.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Code: [Select]
/* Normal, standard links. */
a:link
{
color: #800000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited
{
color: #800000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover
{
text-decoration: underline;
}

/* Navigation links - for the link tree. */
.nav, .nav:link, .nav:visited

After running a few local tests, I have discovered that the issue is with the X-UA-Compatible meta tag.

The site is using this:
Code: [Select]
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
When I run my local test with the above it shows no rounding of the borders and instead shows them as straight edges.

If instead I change the above meta tag to the following, it shows the rounded borders.
Code: [Select]
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9" />
or
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

Something tells me that is generated by the system and it is not something I can control on my forum.   :'(

Yeah that tag is generated by our forums here.

Any chance that could be updated?  Would be neat to see what happens if implemented on one forum as a test.  I know it was needed when IE8 came out and SMF still was making exceptions for IE that caused issues in IE8, but I am not sure if SMF has since addressed that.  I first saw it reported almost 4 years ago.
