modals don't work on IE 8

I couldn't reproduce the issue, but I have an idea of what it might be... I committed a fix to dev:

http://drupalcode.org/project/simple_dialog.git/commitdiff/4532a7a4814d2...

Give it a try and see if it fixes it for you. If it does I can push a new release.

Hi,

I've just added the patch and it didn't work for me. Tried clearing site and browser cache but still nothing :( Still works in Chrome & FF. Really need this to work so will try to investigate and see if I can come up with anything.

Thanks,
Nikki.

...I've noticed the same is happening with Lightbox2.

Someone mentioned Colorbox works fine in IE8, however I need to load a form in a modal window, not images which apparently Colorbox doesn't support.

I still can't reproduce the error... What kind of form are you trying to load in the dialog? Is it a webform, or a custom form? There's a module for colorbox called colorbox node that handles webforms quite nicely (I just discovered it a few days ago)...

Hi,

I'm using webform - I'll have a look into Colorbox node and report back. I've tried looking into modal forms using ctools over the weekend but I just can't get my head around it!!

Haha, yeah those can be tricky. Colorbox node it really nice because it incorporates ajax validation to the webform. I've been thinking about adding something like that to simple dialog for a while but haven't had the chance just yet... Anyway, good luck!

Hi drclaw, just to update - I did end up using colorbox node for the webform. It was the only modal window that I could get to work with ie8! It works quite well so thanks very much for pointing it out to me as I didn't come across this in any of my searches :)

No problem. I still don't know why simple dialog wasn't working for you in ie8, but I'm glad you've found a solution. =)

I also have the same problem with IE8, I want to load webforms in popups but don't work, when I clicked the page is refreshed to display the webform.
