To recreate the problem, click on the blue box that has arrow pointing to the right. That will open a lightbox video player. At the bottom right hand corner of the player window you should see a the text “Cerrar”.
It shows fine in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. However, on IE, its a no show. What gives?
Here’s the css I’m using (many of the rules are just for tracing the layout in IE to confirm the anchor element is present.)
Hi Dresden, the browsers I’m speaking of are IE9 and IE10.
I’m just inheriting a mess which is why I’m trying to make do with generated content. The “close” button was originally an image in which the text was in English. In order to do a quick replacement to convert this to spanish text, I’m using generated content.
If you look at the page URL I sent, and click the box to pop the video window up, you’ll see that the close button replacement text appears fine in all browsers except IE8-10.
I tried it in IE9 and the video loaded in a page of its own (after a few minutes ) so I’m not sure what to say about that.
But what I would say anyway is that with the :before content being set to position: absolute, it might help to give it more specific positioning context, perhaps by giving its parent anchor position: relative:
