Is it possible to detect if the client supports a particular Unicode character or if it will be rendered as a missing glyph box? Important: Support in as many browsers as possible Not important: Efficiency, speed, or elegance The only method I can think of trying is using a canvas, so I figured I'd ask before I start going down that r...
I'm having a strange problem with cookies which are being sent and received properly but are inaccessible to JavaScript on Internet Explorer. Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari JavaScript is fine. Post to "http://wp.abc.example.com/content/sv2.cgi?id=1234", response sets cookies, issues 302 redirect: HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily Loc...
Normally I love to keep my HTML code clean, semantic and free from either Javascript or CSS. I include my .JS and .CSS files at the top, and layer functionality on top of the DOM elements. The positives of this are: Architectural separation of concerns Graceful degradation where Javascript or CSS isn't supported Search-engine friendli...
I read that the HTML5 spec introduced the ability to select multiple files in an upload form. What browsers currently support this? Does Adobe AIR support it? Bonus question: Is there a JavaScript library that takes advantage of this functionality? ...
I'm working on 'timeline' project, where I have content inside of list items, in a horizontal unordered list. This is contained in a div, so you can scroll left to right through the content. My client would like buttons to 'goto' each era. I know this is easily achieved through JavaScript. However they also want this to be functional wi...
When IE8 is in IE7-compatibility mode it behabes like IE7 in quirks mode, which means there is no support for the new CSS features that IE7 supports (e.g. object selectors --child selectors, adjacent selectors, etc..). How can I make IE8 to emulate IE7's standard mode rather than quirks mode?? Note: The purpose of this is not to find...
Hi, I've come up with javascript that screen scrape html needed for report and save it on server using ajax call after which I call report that uses previously saved html through pop up. Here is code: function SaveAndPrintHtml(htmlToPrint) { try { $.ajax({ type: 'POST', async: true, ...
Firefox doesn't display tooltips on disabled fields. The following displays tooltip in IE/Chrome/Safari except Firefox: <input type="text" disabled="disabled" title="tooltip text."/> Why doesn't Firefox display tooltip on disabled fields? Is there a work around this? ...
Hello everyone, I have a peculiar and frustrating problem. For the simple markup: <table> <thead> <tr><th>1</th><th>2</th><th>3</th></tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr><td>a</td><td>b></td><td>c</td></tr> <tr class='odd'><td>x</td><td>y</td><td>z</td></tr> </tbody> </table> I apply different background-...
I'm fairly new/inexperienced with web programming, but I'm trying to spruce up my Dad's website a bit. I made some (I believe..) fairly inconsequential changes to this faq page: http://people.ku.edu/~grhodes/FrequentlyAskedQuestions.html (the original can be seen at www.huntvalleydental.com). Now Firefox and IE aren't displaying the form...
I'm involved in some browser-compatibility testing, and we're looking at tools and so forth. One thing we need to do is visual inspection of our site in a range of different browsers on different OSs and platforms. My question is whether there are documented differences (or someone can post some HTML+CSS) where a page will render diffe...
Hi, Just updated my site to newer, much more standards compliant design. My previous design was so rubbish that I had to use the IE=EmulateIE tag to force IE7 emulation. Unfortunately, I believe that browsers may be caching this setting from previous visits, causing my new site (which looks great without the button pressed) to look ru...
What browsers and of what "vintage" support the XSLTProcessor() object? ...
I have compatibility issues with Internet Explorer 8 in running an application. And those compatibility issues also affect the session values in C#. Is there any other way to make the session values unaffected by compatibility issues? E. g.: I am storing a usersid in the session while logging in, and according to the session value it l...

My site loads on most recent versions of IE fine, but on others and chrome/firefox not so well. Is there some cheatsheet that list issues of portability I can use to fix those quickly? I am only using jQuery and some ASP. Edit: OP's comment: I am using jquery to build a table on the fly, which contains results returned from an ajax r...
For a web site (software-as-a-service application) that is used by lots of non-geek users, I am looking for a web site to refer users to if I detect they have their browser settings wrong (e.g. popups disabled, real old version of Adobe Reader, etc). I'd like this site to: run some kind of browser check operation to figure out what th...
I'm really interested in whether it's possible to use SuperPreview as the browser-target for browser-automation tests written in, for example, Telerik-WebAii, WatiN or Selenium (or anything else for that matter). Anyone know whether this is possible, and if so, how? While I do want to do rendering-comparison testing, I also want to be ...
Hey, I'm using the ASP.NET WebParts and whenever I try to view my page in Firefox or Chrome, the Verbs menu does not appear and it just spreads the items along the title bar, making my page too wide to be viewed without scrolling. How do I change this so that the appearance is consistent for IE and Firefox? ...
I have noticed that some websites prefix the titles of their links with blocked::. For example: <a href="http://www.a-url.com" title="blocked::http://www.a-url.com">www.a-url.com</a> I have questions about how this affects browsers and search engines: Is this meant to have some effect on the browser? If so, what is the int...
