Bad rendering of buttons in IE6

[Gonzalo]

Hi,
IE is rendering the buttons incorrectly when the button's
text is longer than 18 characters, here is an example:
(change the "[" to "<" to get the html code)

[button type="button"
onclick="window.open('BadDisp.htm','_self');" ]
1234567890123456789
[/button]

[button type="button"
onclick="window.open('CorrectDisp.htm','_self');" ]
123456789012345678
[/button]

Any hints or workarounds welcome!

No problem here. I tested with NS4, IE6 and Opera 7 on NT4, both with and
without a DTD. I also tested with IE6 and NS7 on Win2K and saw no rendering
problem.

What is your OS, and have you set your icon size (in Display Properties) to
anything other than default?

Hi,
you can look at my post in the german forum (it is in
english) where I have drawn the buttons in html here:

texplorer.ie6&sMessageID=%253C011e01c37d2f%2524328ca980%
(e-mail address removed)%253E

Here is the code anyway:
<button type="button" onclick="window.open
('test.htm','_self');" >123456789012345678</button>

<button type="button" onclick="window.open
('test.htm','_self');" >1234567890123456789</button>

The html code behind is: (change '[' to '<' for html)
[button type="button" onclick="window.open
('test.htm','_self');" ]123456789012345678[/button]

[button type="button" onclick="window.open
('test.htm','_self');" >1234567890123456789[/button]

Thanks again for any suggestions.

does this forum allows for full HTML?

Gonzalo,

Do you realize that you are using a web interface to an NNTP newsgroup?

Try using Outlook Express to post your example.
You can use HTML with it. You may have to do some personalization
to start posting but the following link should give you access to all
Microsoft newsgroups, including yours.
< news://msnews.microsoft.com/ >

BTW here is the equivalent NNTP link to your message.
You will see the HTML rendering that the web interface does
is entirely incidental.
