Problem with Opera and IE7

Hi,

If you look at your source code, you will notice that the mootools.js file is being called after the cufon cufon-yui.js file. This needs to be done in the opposite order.

You may need to uninstall the cufon plugin and reinstall it to get the order that the JS files are being added to the head in.

Hi,

You need to be using the strict doctype not transitional.

Try that.

Hello,

I don't see any AJAX framework being loaded before Cufon JS files. You need to load a AJAX framework such as Mootools or JQuery. Try adding:

// Enable mootools modal popups for on images
JHTML::_( 'behavior.modal' );

in the head part of your template index.php file before you load your css and JS files, right after the:

<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); // no direct access

See if that solves your IE problems.

Cheers.

Hello,

I really don't know what to tell you. I didn't have to do anything special to make my site work in Opera. The only thing that I can think of is to post on the Cufon site and see if they have any known issues with Opera or if they know why it wouldn't be working in Opera for you.

Hi,

Glad you got the IE7 problem solved.

Just confirming that Cufon font is displaying correctly in other browsers? When you say the system default font is displayed, do you mean the font you have specified in your css as the default font for h1?

Under known issue for Cufon they have the following: Text selection: until we find a solution that works in Opera, this feature will not be added. We have solutions for other browsers.

Can you send a screencap of your Cufon plugin parameter settings and a link to your site? Then I can look at it. You need to look at the source code and make sure that you have the mootools or other AJAX framework being loaded before the Cufon js files and that the cufon css is being inserted into the head of the page. The only difference between having Loading set to Yes or no would be if:
.cufon-loading h1 {visibility: hidden !important}
is added to the head or not.

Hi,

The loading parameter has nothing to do with what font file is used. If loading is set to No then the .cufon-loading of the selector is added to the css, otherwise it is not added to the css of the page. I think you must have some other parameter not set correctly. Did you check if the default fonts supplied with the plugin showed in Opera before you changed plugin parameters? That would be the first step, get the default working, then make modifications. A JS conflict is possible. If you are loading JQuery make sure that it is using no-conflict mode.

What selector did you try changing the z-index for? You will probably need to change it on: h1 cufon cufontext or h1 cufon canvas. Use firebug to try adding the z-index to various selectors and see if you can get it to work.

Good luck.
