I figured out my last major issue with the gradebook and IE8 (I hope)...
The issue (for the benefit of others) is that the YUI panels that pop up to display the student name, graded item name, and any instructor comment would not display correctly if the grades were scrolled towards the 'end' of the grade table (right).... The further you scrolled the further off the panels were.... Anyhow it makes sense... I needed to position the right_scroller div 'relative' with...
.grade-report-grader div.right_scroller {
position: relative;
}
Other themes or installations perhaps do not suffer this issue?
I still have some minor misalignment between the names and their associated row of grades. Thsi only happens in various version of IE by a pixel up or down depending on what version and if editing is on or off... I find it annoying but it's not ever more than a pixel.... In some cases it's off by a pixel one way when the gradebook loads and when editing is turned on it's off by a pixel the other way. So long as it's not more than a pixel I can live with it for now I guess. If I get some time I may write a quick
javascript that aligns them by tweaking margins - that would buy me some time to figure out what's up with the CSS...
How did your upgrade go?
Cheers,
Neil
