Tag cloud does not contain spaces when using IE8.

Tag cloud does not contain spaces when using IE8. This means the readability of the cloud is almost zero... Trac 0.12, tags plugin 0.6

What browsers have you tested with that the cloud does contain the appropriate spaces?

I believe the submitter was referring to IE's lack of support for the ":after" CSS syntax. This prevents the ", " from being inserted between tags, and all of the tag names on the tag cloud view end up running together.

I worked around this by adding the following to the CSS file that contains my local style modifications:

/* Fix the 'tags' page so that the tags
 * don't run into each other in an unreadable
 * way.  Needed until IE learns how to interpret
 * the 'li:after' CSS syntax.
 */
.tagcloud li { margin: 4px; }

This adds a bit of space around each tag, preventing them from running together. It doesn't look as clean as it does in Firefox (where ":after" is supported), but it's certainly better than nothing.

This was tested in IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13.

Thanks, but actually this has been reported several times before and has been fixed differently in [7380] for trunk (see #4223).
