What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Some installs of IE7 report themselves as being IE6. This results in the simple modal appearing at the top of the screen. I have seen this problem with ThickBox as well. I have reinstalled IE7 but it still has the issue. One of my machines with IE7 works - the other one doesn't - both have the same version number. When I alert from js "is this ie6" one install of IE7 returns "yes" and one returns "no"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected = simple modal appears centered in the screen. The modal appears near the top of the screen/off the top of the screen if the page has a scrollbar.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? v1.1.1, Windows XP, IE7 build 7.0.5730.13

Please provide any additional information below.

To patch the code file change the following (there may be a better way but this was a combination, that I put together, of fixes from ThickBox forums/blog posts that has the same problem that made the simple modal work for me):

Drop this in:

$.browser.msie6 = $.browser.msie && /MSIE 6.0/i.test(window.navigator.userAgent) && !/MSIE 7.0/i.test(window.navigator.userAgent) && (document.all && !window.opera && !window.XMLHttpRequest);

Then change:

>>// fix issues with IE and create an iframe >> if ($.browser.msie && ($.browser.version < 7)) { >> this.fixIE(); >> }

to:

// fix issues with IE and create an iframe if ($.browser.msie6 && ($.browser.version < 7)) { this.fixIE(); }

I have a very limited jquery knowledge so this may not be the best way but I thought I'd post this here for others if they are having a problem with IE7 not laying out correctly.

This should be fixed in 1.2...let me know if it is still an issue.
