Unable to edit blocks in IE7 (or IE8 rendering as IE7)
Permalink
My site is setup to render as IE7 for all versions of IE with the meta tag:
I've realized recently that I cannot edit most of my blocks in IE. Editing a block just causes the existing content to get deleted and I can't add any content to new blocks either. The only block seemingly unaffected is the content block for some reason. Through a lot of guessing a checking, I realized that the above code was the cause of the problem so I thought I'd modify it to only render in IE7 if the user is logged in:
But that causes IE to freak out and crash upon each new page load. It's almost like it's having to switch to IE7 mode each time the page loads and that is what is causing it to flip?
Any thoughts on why it would do this or if there's a better way for me to set it up? I guess the main issue might be that I'm unable to edit blocks in IE7.
