Hi, thanks for creating Quills- it's just what I needed for my site.

I'm using QuillsEnabled-1.7.0b1 with Plone 3.1.6. The "Weblog Archive" portlet isn't displaying correctly in IE6 (haven't tried IE7 yet). As you can see in the attached image, the date headings are indented further to the right than normal, and the border on the right side is too far to the right. Ordinarily the portlets on each side of the page are all the same width and the border aligns with the title bar of the portlet.

I have the same behavior in some of my other portlets, but I was able to recreate this in a freshly created plone site with just the following add-on products: Products.QuillsEnabled, fatsyndication 0.1, membrane 1.1b4, quills.app, remember 1.1dev.

Would really appreciate some hints on this or some kind of workaround. Thanks!

Steps to reproduce:: fresh plone site, create a folder for blog, add marker interface, create page in folder: weblog archive portlet will appear and has wrong appearance in IE6

Ah, I think I found a workaround. I put the following in IEFixes.css

.portletWeblogArchive ul {
margin-left: 1em;
}

Presumably a fix like this should go into quills/app/skins/Quills/Quills.css.dtml. I think a slightly different css identifier is probably needed, though, as this will only apply to the archive portlet - and we probably want it to apply to all quills portlets. Anyone know what would be appropriate here?

Issue state: Unconfirmed → Confirmed

Severity: Medium → Low

Target release: None → 1.7

Finally I managed to get hold of an instance of IE6, Wine plus IEs4Linux made it actually easy. I see this glitch, probably some IE feature ;-)
