Subject: Dev Tabs Disappear on IE7
The tabs are disappearing on my devo page after doing the following.

Navigate to page 'Learn & Grow'->'On-Line bible study - prayer"
Click on Discussion Tab
Roll Mouse over the Post Your Message button
Tabs go away

A browser refresh brings them back, but they go away again when you move the mouse over the Post Your Message button.

Is not a problem on FireFox, I haven't checked IE6 yet.

Thanks.
Bob.

Bob,

It looks like a two column template (instead of three) would work a lot better because this extension is pretty wide. It appears that the problem only exists if the window is set to be too narrow. The top tabs get shifted down and the post form does not. So that causes the issue. If I size the window to be very wide, then it displays correctly.

Here is the How-To for changing the template on a page:

Hi Bob,

I have been looking at this today, and it seems to be a strange IE7 bug. It only happens in certain templates, because the WEC templates I tested it in were fine. So I have to investigate further what is going on here and how I can fix it. It is very bizarre in that it is just a hover over a button and is CSS related. It may take a few days, but there should be a fix one way or another.

Dave,

Just FYI, it seems to happen on IE6 as well.

There isn't a version of the nature of hope earth template I'm using with a 1 or 2 column layout that works out with the other pages I have - I've been trying to modify the nature of hope 3 column earth to remove the right column and change it into a 2 column template, but I'm having trouble with that.

Bob,

Yea, modifying templates is more of a process that it seems. That is why we tried to provide several preset templates to choose from. Modifying a template (other than CSS) requires more steps than just editing the html file. Here is a link to a document that talks about how to alter WEC templates:
