Upgraded this morning when I saw the announcement about the 6.0.1 release. Was running 6.0.0 with no issue before upgrading.
After the upgrage the issue was that much of the site content would not display in IE7 or IE8/IE9 with compatability mode turned on. The header with a banner and navigation displayed, but that was it. Pulled the same pages up with Chrome and no issues at all.
Also had an issue that the Admin, Host, Module, Page flyouts would not appear from the management links in IE8/IE9 unless I put it in compatability mode. Then the content would disappear.
Ended up rolling back the site to the 6.0.0 version. Good thing I had solid backups of file and DB.

ALWAYS make a complete site backup before beginning an upgrade.
NEVER do an upgrade on a live site. Instead: Backup the site, install it locally, upgrade locally and test, Test, TEST! When you are happy with the result, backup the upgraded site and move it to production. |

Appreciate the standard advice to backup, test in a non-production environment, etc. From being a SQL developer for the last 13 or so years I have learned that lesson many times over. Very embarissing to show up as a Sr Consultant and wipe out their database.
But regarding the actual issue I saw, has anyone else upgraded to 6.0.1? If so is everything rendering properly in the various IE browsers?

I am experiencing the same thing. 6.0.1 C# DNN install. When I add styles to a div in my module, either with inline css or using my skin css, the content in my div's does not display. If I just use a plain div or span it displays fine, but once I add the styles I cannot see the content.
The strange thing is I have some textboxes on the page and I can't see them, but I can put my cursor in them and type. I can't see the letters typed but the cursor moves like I am typing something in the invisible textbox. It's almost like it's putting white text on a white background.
Works fine in Chrome, FF, Opera. I have yet to test on IE6 or 7 as it's just on my test machine and I only have IE9. Would love to find a solution other than just not using css at all, so I can upgrade our real site to 6.0.1.

Erika,
First, make sure that you skin is XHTML Transitional. That will minimize cross-browser issues.
This probably is a css issue, but I'd need to look at the site to figure it out. |

I will check to see if the skin is XHTML Transitional. Unfortunately it's on our Intranet so public access is not allowed.
Thanks for your response.

Just an FYI, my problem has resolved itself with the latest 6.1.0 version. |

I'm having the same problem as the original poster, and I'm using DNN CE 6.1.4 with the default (Minimal Extropy) skin installed and no modifications. The site loads fine in FF, Chrome, Safari and Opera. But in IE 7 or IE 8/9 with Compatibility Mode turned on, only the site header/footer/background loads. I can see the menu and breadcrumbs, but clicking any page brings you to that page but it's empty. I should mention that this happens no matter what user (even superuser) logs in or what the permissions for the page are.
Did the original poster or anyone else resolve this in a version past 6.0.1?
Thanks,
Jay |

Is this specific to the Minimal Extropy skin? If you switch to the Dark Knight skin do the problems continue?
Note that Minimal Extropy was the default skin for 5.x, but has been replaced by DK for 6.x. So, there may be some issues with ME. |

No, when I switch to Dark Knight, I don't have that problem. As we look further, it seems the Minimal Extropy skin is broken in Internet Explorer for any module that has "Display Container?" checked.
After some more digging, it appears this line from container.css in the Portals\_default\Containers\MinimalExtropy folder is causing IE to choke:
title_vis{float:right;}
If you comment out that line, everything works (except the print icon isn't right justified.
I think we'll look at a different skin anyway.
Thanks for the quick response. |

There were some large changes between DotNetNuke 5 and DotNetNuke 6 regarding containers. So, it's not surprising that the containers might cause a problem. Much of this has do do with the ACTIONS items. Here is the TitleBlue.ascx file for Minimal Extropy:
<%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Containers/container.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.Container" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/SolPartActions.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ICON" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Icon.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TITLE" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Title.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="VISIBILITY" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Visibility.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON1" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON2" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON3" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON4" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
<div class="c_head title_blue">
<div class="Head title">
<dnn:ACTIONS runat="server" id="dnnACTIONS" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" ExpandDepth="1" PopulateNodesFromClient="True" /><dnn:ICON runat="server" id="dnnICON" />
 <dnn:TITLE runat="server" id="dnnTITLE" CssClass="Head" />
</div>
<div class="Head title_vis">
<dnn:VISIBILITY runat="server" id="dnnVISIBILITY" minIcon="images/DNN-minus.gif" MaxIcon="images/DNN-plus.gif" />
</div>
<div class="clear_float">
</div>
</div>
<div class="c_content">
<div id="ContentPane" runat="server" class="Normal c_contentpane">
</div>
</div>
<div class="c_footer">
<div class="Head">
<dnn:ACTIONBUTTON1 runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON1" CommandName="AddContent.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="True" />
<dnn:ACTIONBUTTON2 runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON2" CommandName="SyndicateModule.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="False" />
<dnn:ACTIONBUTTON3 runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON3" CommandName="PrintModule.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="False" />
<dnn:ACTIONBUTTON4 runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON4" CommandName="ModuleSettings.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="False" />
</div>
</div>
You can change it to this, and that should remove most of the problems:
<%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Containers/container.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.Container" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/SolPartActions.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ICON" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Icon.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TITLE" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Title.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="VISIBILITY" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Visibility.ascx" %>
<div class="c_head title_blue">
<div class="Head title">
 <dnn:TITLE runat="server" id="dnnTITLE" CssClass="Head" />
</div>
<div class="Head title_vis">
<dnn:VISIBILITY runat="server" id="dnnVISIBILITY" minIcon="images/DNN-minus.gif" MaxIcon="images/DNN-plus.gif" />
</div>
<div class="clear_float">
</div>
</div>
<div class="c_content">
<div id="ContentPane" runat="server" class="Normal c_contentpane">
</div>
</div>

The changes to the .ascx files you mentioned were already in place in 5.6.7, and furthermore it was missing a key line that caused other problems (we tried it anyway):
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>
Anyway, the fix we found to work was this:
.title_vis{text-align:right;}
in the Containers/container.css file mentioned before instead of the line that was there:
.title_vis{float:right;}
This seems to work well in the most common browsers as well as IE 8/9 in compatibility mode.
Thanks for your help.
