S2 "Getting Started" buttons do not render under IE (was GoogleCode Maven ...)
The images are blank buttons that are being styled to add the captions.
<a href="http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/home.html">
<div style="background:url(images/plugins.gif) no-repeat
scroll 0%; width:200px; min-height:80px;
float:left;position:relative;margin:5px">
<span
style="top:15px;position:absolute;color:white;padding-left:10px">
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-size:140%">Plugin
Registry</span>
</span>
</div>
</a>
I'm not much of HTML guru. Does anyone have an IE fix for this, or
should we use a different set of images? (The current approach also
works with Safari and Opera, just not IE.)

Thanks for the patch suggestion!
I'm uploading a new page now. It should rsync within the hour.

I agree with Jim... a quick test shows that using height instead of
min-height causes the buttons to appear, at least in isolation.

Re: S2 "Getting Started" buttons do not render under IE (was GoogleCode Maven ...)
Posted by Jim Cushing <ji...@mac.com>.
I don't have IE (nor a Windows machine), so I can't tell what the
problem is.
However, do the other two buttons ("Download Now" and "Get Started")
display? There should be three, equally sized buttons: blue, red,
yellow.

Another note:
IE doesn't support the "min-height" CSS property. Try using "height"
instead (it may need to be done for each of the three buttons):
