Hey Khoivu,
I finally found a moment to test the Ajax geometry example on IE6, as provided in the code archive for the book. Functionally, it works like a charm, so I don’t know what kind of issue you have, perhaps you typed it yourself and forgot a tiny thing?
On the other hand, the CSS doesn’t work so well (IE6 doesn’t size positioned elements based on left and right only, it requires width), so I tweaked the CSS for it and will upload it in a book erratum at some point.
Here is the changed part of geometry.css:
.widget {
position: absolute; top: 5em; width: 15em;
border: 0.25em solid gray; background: silver;
padding: 2em 0.5em 0.5em;
}
.widget h2 {
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0; width: 15.6em; height: 1.5em;
font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;
margin: 0; padding: 0 0.2em;
background: gray; cursor: move;
}
‘hope this helps,
- Christophe
