Re: Article exploring the custom styles for the info box in Virtual Earth V5

Hi John

I started playing around with custom info boxes today and tried out your css.

Not sure if you have found the solution to the beak issue yourself yet, just in case here is what I found.

When you set:

.customInfoBox-beak,
.customInfoBox-progressAnimation
{
visibility:visible;
}

Is where the problem is, the beak is not specifically set visisble by VE when it shows it, just its parents visibility is changed. If you change the css class to be:

.customInfoBox-beak,
.customInfoBox-progressAnimation
{
visibility:inherit;
}

The it shows and hides the beak whenever its parent shows or hides

If you are still having issues with the order of css loading you can of course in newer browsers do the following to ensure your style is the one used:


.customInfoBox-beak,
.customInfoBox-progressAnimation
{
visibility:inherit !important;
}

Do you think this solves it?
