[GeoNetwork-devel] Disappearing content on Windows IE

Hi,

For those of you who, like me, are stuck using IE as browser.....

When I loaded GN2.1 and used IE6 to view the metadata I ran into a
disappearing content problem when viewing metadata on the main page. The
behavior is this: I search the metadata, click the metadata tab for a
selected record, the blind drops down, the metadata flashes, and then the
blind goes blank. As far as I can tell the problem has its roots in the
"hasLayout" property of IE/Win. Other IE/Win AJAX display problems, such as
non-overlapping dropdowns (guilotine) problems also likely result from this.

I fixed the dissapearing content problem on my install by altering the
web\geonetwork\scripts\scriptaculous\effects.js by commenting out the line
"restoreAfterFinish: true,"
in the "Effect.BlindDown" function. It fixed my immediate problem, but I am
unsure if there may be other as of yet unseen drawbacks to this fix. If
anyone has some general solutions to "hasLayout" properties issues please
pass them on.

Cheers,
Byron
