After Wes Friend’s earlier catch on the ajax errors in IE6, I did some more testing and, wouldn’t you know it, there are more things to be fixed for the errant browser… Currently known problems between awfDialog’s rendered output and IE6:

1. Some of the elements referenced using the SetCSS method don’t appear to get their CSS styles under IE6. Most notable is the Title element. You can still get around at least some of those issues by being more explicit with your title string, meaning you can embed the raw html to fix display properties using the SetTitle() method
2. A larger problem is the clipping region of the BodyPane div. Although everything should scale dynamically based on the width property you set, it seems IE6 is going to ignore this and render roughly the right 30pixels of the BodyPane outside the div, clipping it. And it is ignoring the “overflow” CSS attribute. I’m stumped at how to deal with that, but it is a real issue if you are in Wizard mode, as it ends up hiding the Next button. Anyone know how to trick IE6 regarding div overflow and clipping regions?

I’m aware the ajax.js file provided with the Gradient Builder example in awfDialog is not compatible with IE 6. Thanks to Wes Friend for notifying me. There is an updated version of that file posted to the package.
