fixing common I.E. rendering bugs - zoom:1
There’s a number of bizare ie rendering bugs which when i did some investigation discovered were related to an ie property called hasLayout. It’s seems that forcing the value of hasLayout will frequenlty fix these bugs. I’ve come accross alot of methods for doing this but i’ve just come across one that negates the need for any additional styles that have to be hidden from well behaved browsers.
zoom:1
Apparently giving an Element the internet explorer property zoom:1 forces internet explorer to set the hasLayout property to ‘true’. There are also other methods of fixing this bug although this particular one seems to be the least invasive as it’s only understood by interent explorer.
