Still a problem with the latest version. The datepicker can also trigger the bug.
I believe you can see the bug in IE tester (
http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage) as that uses older versions of IE7 and IE8.
I have made a pull request that shows another way to workaround it.

What is the correct code to use with Internet Explorer without problems?
Thanks.

Try
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.colorbox').colorbox({
overlayClose: true,
opacity: 0.5
});
});
//--></script>

Has anyone tested this on a VM (
official IE Compatibility VHDs)? I use IETester too but it's my understanding it can't be entirely trusted on issues like this.
A also wonder if a "see no evil" approach is best for users with insecure browsers.

Thanks a lot for the help! I was having issues with IE not adding products to the cart when on the product page (v1.5.4.1). Replaced the colorbox script mentioned in your post and everything is working again.
Cheers,
Joel.

Looks like that confirms it. IE is just never going to stop being a problem.

Looks like the official IE VHDs are patched so should not have the error, although the Visa IE7 one (over 4GB download) might be worth testing. Only patched to March 2011 which might late enough not to suffer from the problem.
I've test on an actual XP SP3 PC that somehow managed not to get the latest IE7 patches via Windows Update and took 4 goes manually install it, the Windows 7 Pro XP Mode VHD and a XP SP3 in VirtualBox on a Mac. All work fine if fully patched, but if missing the more recent versions of the Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer, all have problems.
So it all comes down to how many customers you think may have unpatched versions of IE. We had a few calls from customers trying yo use IE6 which our payment gateway doesn't support.

Agreed that IE will always be a problem. With no IE9 on XP I can see IE8 becoming the new IE6.

When I get forwarded a call from someone with a problem on a website it's almost guaranteed to not be fun.
Me: "Can you tell me what internet browser you're using? Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari?"
User: "I use Google."
Me: "Google Chrome? Does the icon you click to get on the internet look like a little red, green, and yellow ball?"
User: "No, I use Google."
Me: "Can you tell me if you have Windows or a Macintosh computer?"
User: "I don't know."
Me: "Look on your desktop. Did you click on the big blue 'E' to get here?"
User: "Yes, that's the one!"
I swear some days it's just a race to the bottom.
