It seems that after my upgrade the icons for file types and collections are not rendering properly. I can "fix" this for file types by putting the full path in the icon16 and icon32 sections of the table, but this is not a very elegant solution. I'm guessing for some reason it's not reading these lines properly since instead of using the CSS class and utilizing the icon16/32/48.png files it's just trying to point to the path of //filetype-gif, which obviously won't work.

Can you please tell me what, if anything I've done wrong and what I can do to fix it please? Thanks.

Hi Chris,

It depends on the "view" you're using. Here is the background: for DMX 5.3 we moved to sprites to improve performance (DMX uses lots of icons and can benefit from this). Sprites are badly supported on IE 6 and with legacy (i.e. non XHTML) skins. So we made some workarounds partly based on jQuery. This is not present in DNN 4 so we rolled in our own and made sure it would load in DNN 4 and 5.

Using DMX with IE6 and/or legacy skin:
In the default Ajax view everything should be OK except that the icons from the menu have vanished. If there are weird extra lines just under the icons then the icons are rendered too large and this is most likely due to an interplay with the skin (we haven't been able to replicate that on a standard DNN skin).
In the Templated view there are still hard wired paths to icons. These need to be repaired. The upgrade should take care of most of this but you may need to check. The new templates use a new tag to call up and render an icon. Create a new DMX instance in template view and see with your adjusted template where the differences are.
