A few days ago I've updated to Internet Explorer 8 and a stange problem appeared. All form buttons (submit, etc.) are displayed extremly small on the screen.
First I thought it was a problem from Maxthon v1 - but it also appears when using Maxthon v2. Let's check IE8! Same thing - Darn!

Started searching the web and in Internet Explorer 8 there's an option (under Advanced) called "Enable visual styles on buttons and controls in webpages". Unchecking this option solves the problem in IE8. So, problem solved, you think...

NOT! The problem still appears in Maxthon v1 and v2! Hmmm, searched the Maxthon forum for days but nothin' that could solve my problem. Not even changing the useragent or using the "Compatible View" plugin.

The solution for this problem in Maxthon v1 is using the JS-Plugin from Zeroglif! Extract the zip file into c:\Program Files\Maxthon\Plugin\JS-plugin\Scripts and make it active fro within the plugin configuration of Maxthon v1.

This .js replaces any button ("submit"- type or "button"- type) with font-size 13px and height of 24px. Only button tags are set, no other input tags.

This filter is attached to this topic - so anyone havin' the same problem is helped a little bit.

Here's a sample of button display without the plugin script activated:

This is the script to load:

System Specs:
- AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.60Ghz
- Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 (fully up-to-date)
- Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702
- Maxthon 1.6.5 ( build 18 ) Unicode

Darn - placed it in the wrong section. Please Moderator - could you move it to the Maxthon v1 section?
