help! background image on yml:a tag doesn't render in internet explorer

I created a small open social app with CSS tabs and I am trying to set a CSS background image on an anchor tag and it's not rendering on internet explorer in YahooFullView.

Is this a problem with caja?

Sample code:

CODE
<ul id="tabs">
<li>
<yml:a params="test.php"></yml:a>
</li>
</ul>

CSS style:
#tabs li a { width: 126px;  border: 0px solid green; display: block; margin: 0px 0 0 5px; text-decoration: none; }
#tabs li {background: url(someurl) no-repeat;}

  • Same here. CSS background images do not work under IE (I'm using IE 7).

    A closer look revealed that in IE, the browser is trying to grab background images with requests like:

    GET /-5iKker74/YahooFullView/http/3A//ic.apps.yahoo.com/v1/cache/public/i7O6LuSyoa5YY3ya2kGbNBObiTRoVpHZALIEej2a1K.oczlg2r24enBIp1Q9ErKBtcQ-

    (...and they fail)

    Yet on Firefox, they look like:

    GET http://ic.apps.yahoo.com/v1/cache/public/i...nBIp1Q9ErKBtcQ-

    So my guess is that CAJA failed to convert the first part of the image URLs (i.e. "http\\3A//" part into "http://", NOT "http/3A//").

    Would be really great if this is fixed asap.

  • Where do we enter a bug ticket for things like these?

    It seems such an obvious bug (no CSS background images for Internet Explorer due to the CAJA process) I'm surprised it's not fixed already.

  • Yahoo QA engineer verified it is a bug. It is being working on.

    By the way, I worked for Yahoo.

  • Hi flixstereugene,

    We don't have an official date for completion of the bug, but it should be slated for release with the next major YAP platform release.
