Are there any good services that you can use during development to try out how your site renders in different browsers? We develop on macs. I'd like to be able to pay $20 a month or something like that and be able to VNC in and test my site in IE6, IE7, Opera, etc without having to keep a windows box around. ...
I've been investigating this issue that only seems to get worse the more I dig deeper. I started innocently enough trying to use this expression to split a string on HTML 'br' tags: T = captions.innerHTML.split(/<br.*?>/g); This works in every browser (FF, Safari, Chrome), except IE7 and IE8 with example input text like this: is inv...
I've got a table which has a repeating background image on the header: thead tr { border-collapse:collapse; background: #D3D2D2 url(images/background-table-header.gif) repeat-x top; } And this works across in both Firefox and Internet explorer, but if we want certain column headers to show the sorting direction we decorate the t...
I'm currently testing browser compatibility with IE7 for an app that I built initially for use with Firefox. The assumption at the time within our organization was that we could get everyone to use Firefox, but that's been called into question, so here I am. As a result, I have used many Firefox specific features and attributes that I ne...
I have an application with a launch page that needs to determine what is already opened, so it does not reopen things that are opened already in another new tab. In Firefox, I was able to make this work, by using window.sessionStorage to store the titles of pages that are open, and then use window.opener with the following code to remove...
I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere. It's well known that certain versions of IE6 and earlier incorrectly declare they accept gzip encoding. Does ob_gzhandler correctly detect these versions or do you need to do that separately? ...
Hi. I'm an experienced developer, but new to DotNetNuke. I've created a skin which uses solpartmenu. On a portal that uses submenus, I'm getting different behavior in different browsers: On IE and Firefox, the submenus drop down just below the parent items, as I would expect. However on Safari and Chrome, the appear on the far left of t...
Animated PNG images (APNG) have been around for quite a while in an attempt to add this functionality of the GIF format to PNG images. According to Wikipedia they are supported in Opera (>= 9.5) and in Firefox (>= 3.0). The first frame in the APNG animation is displayed if a browser doesn't support APNG images, since it was defined as an...
Is there a way to determine the timezone for a user agent without javasript? normally, i would execute this snippet of javascript: <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> var offset = new Date(); document.write('<input type="hidden" id="clientTzOffset" name="clientTzOffset" value="' + offset.getTimezoneOffset() + '"/>...
if IE 8 is installed "by accident" (by the Windows Update program), now the machine has IE 8. Does that mean it is safest to run 2 Virtual PCs, one with IE 6, and one with IE 7 to test our web app? ...
this div to cover up the viewport works perfect on IE 7, 8, FF, Chrome, and Safari, but why not IE 6? http://www.0011.com/css/test/cover_up/i4.html I thought IE 6 breaks if it is position: fixed but not absolute? (on IE 6, the div is only 1 line tall). ...
Hi All, I have a page that does the following: The browser loads a very simple page with a valid head and body, with only a script/noscript pair as content. In the body, it has a script (script a) that runs a function onLoad. This function dynamically includes a second script (script b), and runs a function in it when it becomes avai...
In this case, internet explorer doesn't seem to give the right amount of margin. It looks like it measures the margin from the top of the box and ignores the padding. Why is this? Is there a good workaround? Here's an example: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-tran...
Hello, I am wondering if its possible to remove the default blue and yellow glow when I click on a text input / text area using CSS? Thank you for your time. ...
I'm a complete Flash n00b, but I'm having difficulty and I thought posting my question here was worth a shot, even if it's probably too complex to effectively convey here. My client wanted a Flash intro (yuck!) so I made it so that it results in a menu with links to other pages on the site. To minimize annoying visitors, I'm using a co...
Hi, Here's a link that shows the problem: http://xotics.equivalenceclass.com/test.php In IE7 it opens behind the blue "home-banner" and "home-banner-wrapper" DIV. I'm not sure why. When removing the background image for "home-banner", but I don't believe that this solves the problem. I tried playing with the z-index CSS properties of t...
Hi All, Thanks for reading. I have several scripts that are built similar to the following: scriptone.js function FunctionOne(){ // Do a bit of work... // Include a second javascript file, scripttwo.js // that contains a function called FunctionTwo.js var scrb = document.createElement('script'); scrb.type = 'tex...

I'm very interested in GWT and I'm curious which browsers it's tested against? The info is not painfully easy enough for me to find and I haven't gotten an answer on the group (I haven't waited long but messages get buried there fast). This is really important to me... I would assume google's standards are high (probably higher than min...
We have a COM OCX that catches various keypresses to IE when it's loaded into a web page. This OCX works well in IE6, however does not catch any keypresses in IE7. It does load in IE7, generate other events (which are caught by Javascript). It throws no errors. I've run the Microsoft Application Compatability Toolkit as it's runnin...
