I have been working on a XOOPS site and have recently noticed some disturbing inconsistencies in behavior between browsers. For example:
On a brand new PC running Windows XP and MSIE (latest versions), when I try to modify a XOOPS installation, such as inactivating a module, I get an error message. Similarly, I get an error message when trying to register a user, either from the home page (as a new user would) or from the edit user option in the admin pages, when logged in as admin. On a PC running earlier version of XP and IE, I don't have this problem. Using Safari on a Mac OS X 10.3 machine, I don't have these problems.
In the Agendax module, the drop down calendar selector that one uses to insert a date for an item works differently on just about every browser I've tried. On the new XP machine mentioned above, clicking on the icon for the selector does nothing; on the older machine it works, but the calendar selector is spread across the whole page; on Netscape on the new machine it works, but is also spread across the page; on my Mac OS X 10.3 machine using Safari, the selector calendar has the correct appearance, but inserts a fragment of code instead of the date; NS on the Mac works, but spreads the selector across the window.
These inconsistencies are a real concern, particularly those that seem to involve the base XOOPS system. Has anyone experienced similar problems, and is there a solution?
Thanks,
