Why is there a little X over the gallery logo after the page completely loads up?

If you checked out the CVS version with Win32, make sure that the files in images were extracted as binary files. A normal CVS version should do that, as they are tagged as "binary" in the repository.

Delete the logo file (images/galleryLogo_sm.png) and get it again.

no the logo appears but there is a snippet of java code over it that is garbled and cause a floating x over the logo.
I have the same thing

javascript:'#define x_width 1\n#define x_height 1\nstatic char x_bits[]={0x00}'

That's what you get when you right lick image and view the properties

We're experimenting with a standards compliance patch for IE called IE7. The text you mention is coming from this code. What version of IE are you using?

I have the same problem when using Internet Explorer; Firefox works fine.
Same version of IE, also.
Just tested it on a Win2k box with 6.0.2800.1106, and there's no red x, but the background of the logo is grey. The bg is white on both the newer IE and firefox.
Dunno if that helps any, but there you are. :)

we've upgraded the version of IE7 we're using.. can someone get the latest cvs or snapshot and let us know if this problem still occurs?

Yes it still shows up for me. I am using the same IE as above.

I updated it via the daily, x still shows.

I haven't installed G2, but I had a similar problem on a different website I run while using the bgsleight javascript hack. The js calls a blank gif image (x.gif I believe) to help it work it's PNG magic. Problem is, the script doesn't come with this image, and doesn't reference it in the documentation. So you need to throw a blank gif somewhere in there (images/x.gif I think).

Ah, upon further review I've noticed that ie7-standard.js contains a reference to blank.gif. So make sure you actually have this file, and that it's in the proper directory.

Demonhood, we actually have that file "blank.gif" in the IE7 path. I think we are now striving to get rid of most parts of IE7 compatibility layer and use just the ones that are really useful.

G2-devels, we should use gif's with transparency to get rid of ie7-png.js (because of the "X" problem and other related problems, like the slideshow not working) and we should get rid of the ie7-box-model.js (at least for now, because of its performance implications), which leaves us with:

ie7-core.js
ie7-html4.js
ie7-css2.js
ie7-css3.js
ie7-css-strict.js
ie7-fixed.js

See this reference on what each script offers.

That mean we cannot use neither ie7-standard.js nor ie7-lite.js, since both include the box-model script.

baschny, I just figured out that the 1sec delay on IE already comes when loading just ie7-core.js. I will follow up on this problem in the IE7-forum to see what they think about it.

Cheers,
