Sorry to repeat but I did a typo in name and it seems not linked names arn't getting replies.
The cause of the following button problems have after two weeks solid work and fix for a joomla root issue with regards to IE7 been tracked back to the use of my artisteer 2 template.
Using standard milky way Joomla template or demo version artisteer (previous release) all are now working correctly on both firefox and IE7 browsers.
When the new template is applied The problems discribed below happen in IE7 and yet Firefox is still showing and operating everything as it should.
The Vcard buttons are fine and operating correctly but when entering the details page I get the following problems
1.
The Edit/Delete buttons are elongated.
2.
If you hover over the Send/Write Review buttons the Edit/Delete buttons disappear.
3.
If you hover over the Edit/Delete buttons then the Send/Write Review buttons disappear.
By selecting the edit button either here or from the Vcard page once in that edit page
The category add/remove buttons and the cancel/send edit buttons are missing.
A moderator on sobi site sent me the following reply having quickly looked at the site but I dont know what I am looking for as I am not familiar with CSS (That is why I purchased this Creation program)
" .art-button-wrapper I am guessing is somthing that you added to give the buttons a different look. I think something in IE (which I hate debugging) is getting messed up. Possibly you left out the correct HTML or CSS syntax. "
Can anyone help? I am being held up by this problem right now and although I have put a support ticket in, as yet I have had no response.
Thanks in anticipation
PS I had NO problems with the previous version which left the butttons grey as they were. Now the new version changes the colour to match the template and they go haywire.

You should contact Artisteer support on the issue

For the elongation of buttons issue in SOBI2 Artister supplied the following remedy
Edit the sobi2 plugin's css file (..\components\com_sobi2\includes\com_sobi2.css) by removing float:right attribute from the Edit/Delete buttons style, like:
input#sobi2EditEntryButton, input#sobi2DelEntryButton {com_sobi2.css (line 340)
/*float:right;*/
}
If you encounter the same problem with other buttons, for example Save and Cancel, you can apply the same changes to them, like:
input#sobi2SendButton {
/*float: right;*/
}
input#sobi2CancelButton {
/*float: right;*/
}
They then provided an alternative which will be incorporated it next version
"Taking a closer look at this issue we found a way to adjust Artisteer styles to the plugin.
You can add the following css block:
.art-button-wrapper input
{
float: none !important;
}
to the generated template.css file instead of commenting out the plugin's css code.
This css will be generated automatically in future Artisteer updates."
With regards to buttons diappearing so far their patch has failed but will keep you posted when it is sorted
Cheers

Regarding disappearing buttons.
Background:
Using Joomla site with template generated by Artisteer.
In IE7 and IE8, buttons disappearing when:
* From front-end, user logs in with authority to edit an article.
* Article editor displays
* Save and Cancel buttons appear while page is loading, then disappear.
NOTE: In Firefox, this does not occur.
When site is switched to use JA_Purity template, buttons remain visible.
I believe the problem is more with z-index and the way CSS in IE7 and IE8 implements the cascading effect, particularly with the parent elements that use (or do not use) the position: absolute; and the position: relative; styles.
Am focusing attention in that direction and will report back.

UPDATE
Rebuilt the template in Artisteer wherein the buttons were disappearing while in Front-End Article Edit mode.
!! The new template does not have this problem.
I was led to this by observing that a template I'd created while still in Trial mode did not encounter this problem. So, I rebuilt the template I actually want, Exported it as a Zip File, then installed it in Joomla site.
On the template where buttons were disappearing, I had been trying to alter the "Read More" buttons, and so I had gone in to the Button settings and made changes to try altering height and position.
The new template, without changes to buttons, does not lose the buttons.
CONCLUSION: A sensitivity exists in the Artisteer settings for Buttons that manifests bad behavior in IE7 and IE8 -- but only intermittently.

I'm still have problems with buttons elongating and disappearing in Joomla - this coincides with an error from explorer saying a child element closed nbefore the parent had time to load it-? - all works well in firefox - this is so annoying as it happens across the board and virtually until it;s fixed my purchase of artisteer is useless.- this is with all releases of 2 inc;uding the llatest - the above remedies do not work.

The following stops the elongation problem and the other issues have been sorted with the latest Beta edition
You can add the following css block:
.art-button-wrapper input
{
float: none !important;
}
to the generated template.css file instead of commenting out the plugin's css code.
Apart from "This css will be generated automatically in future Artisteer updates." being implemented in the new version I love the program the support has been excellent once we got down to the issue.
Well done team and thanks

I have tested with version 2.2 and I am wondering if the above problems are solved in version 2.3 because I would preferably not edit in code. If not I will edit the code, but I was just wondering if somebody can confirm the problems are solved in 2.3 for what kind of browsers and versions.
Thanks in advance.

I've got 2.3.0.21098 Standard Edition and I've just found that when the behavior.php is changed to use load rather than domready (to solve SOBI2 and IE8 issue) then the buttons elongate in IE8.
I've tried the art button wrapper but that doesn't appear to have worked for me.
Wish I could add an image since the website only allows paid up memberships so I can't show you the issue

Correction - once the template is edited the buttons appear normally.
Thanks for that!
