Hi mdekker,

Although I cannot check using IE6, have you seen the bugfix in 9131 in admin/html.php?

Could the erroneous </th> tag influence your problem/solution?

I did that fix myself searching for a solution for this problem :) Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.

I hate IE6 but a lot of people are in such a restricted environment that it is the only browser they can use :( The 1.90 is working pretty well on IE6 compared to older versions though :)

And did someone test with Netscape navigator 4.0 ?
And did someone test with elinks ?

IE6 is old, plenty of bug, security risk .... I think it's a bad idea to continue to support IE6 in admin page.

Ask for FireFox, Chromium ... etc ...

Tony, can you have a look?

I was under the impression that we were not supporting IE6 in the admin interface due to the instability of some of the new jQuery functions and lack of PNG support.

Tony, I think so, too. I'll assign this one to Thibault so he can decide.

Thibault, your thoughts?

You loose a lot of university and corporate people if you don't support the IE6 that is still offered in a lot of closed environments. It is not extended functionality, but one of the basics you need to be able to set up a survey.

And besides, I patched it already I only need somebody to review it... come on...

I prefer to let Carsten give his opinion on this.

I consider this not as a bug so I don't see the need to fix this personally.
IE6 is now 12 years old and supporting it is like trying to revive a dead horse.
However if the patch is tested and creates no problems in newer browsers I am fine with it.

mdekker, it is impossible to find out by 'review' if the patch is working. If you have tested it with all latest browsers and everything still work JS-wise (quick-add and label set browser) feel free to apply it.

Removed the previous patch, as it MIGHT break something. It turned out that the PNG fix broken some stuff so by disabling that i get some grey backgrounds, but all seems to work fine again :)

Only a small fix to the subquestions javascript is needed that I am sure breaks nothing else. The fixes makes sure the question code calculation works.

Maybe we need something special for the release notes or just be aware of forum messages telling us about the ugly grey backgrounds. So we can respond correctly.

Released in latest Plus version
