I have an element with a title attribute (ie, a tooltip), wrapped in some container: <div id="foo"> <input type="text" title="A tooltip" /> </div> and I attach a "mousemove" event listener on the container and stop event propagation: document.getElementById('foo').addEventListener( 'mousemove', function(e) { e.stopPropaga...
Is there a way to force ie8 into ie7 compatibility mode using .net or javascript? ...
Is there a good response to the statement "Best viewed in x"? Specifically, I was trying to access a site and the site was horribly broken on Webkit browsers. I sent an email to the webmaster including screenshots. The webmaster responded to me that the site "is best viewed in Internet Explorer." Now there are some other issues with th...
It needs a lot of work to make the webpages render correctly in IE6. Other browsers (like FF, Safari) are fine because they usually follow the W3C standard better. Even IE7 is better than IE6 (although its acid 3 test score is only 14/100). I would like to know how many people still care about IE6 when developing webpages. If you stil...
Hi All, I have a page that calls a script in the header, like so: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.discoverfire.net/analytics/l/a.js"></script> (Note you will NOT be able to load this script as it is DND'd locally as a staging domain) Very Simple. Firefox, IE, Chrome all have no problem with this basic, squar...
Some background So I was finishing up some enhancements in a web application that does some automatic interpolation of data. There are a handful of textboxes that the user fills out, and other textboxes in between them have values automatically calculated. The textboxes that receive automatically calculated values must be readOnly to ...
I'm using the following XAML as part of my page: <StackPanel x:Name="RuleWarning" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="5,0,0,0"> <Image Source="{Binding WarningIconPath}" Margin="0,0,0,0" Width="16" Height="16" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center"/> <TextBlock x:Name="tbRuleWarning...
Hopefully some has some knowledge of this. I'm fast realising that IE8 certainly can't be ignored anymore. I had previously put it down to either a) just a buggy piece of software, or b) still to small a piece of the market share. Now, however, I'm seeing more and more requirement to make sure sites work on it. My question is can I ...
I just realized (yes, this was stupid of me) that IE8 Compatibility Mode is NOT IE7. All the time I assumed they would be switching back to the IE7 binaries, which apparently they aren't, as indicated by another question I found here in SO. My question is... Does anyone know how IETester works? Does it run the actual binaries for IE6/7?...
I think my title was informative enough. :) I close the child window like this: self.close(); Just before this, I want the parent window to know that the child has closed. I am making use of this: window.opener.startLoad(); The above will run a function that is on the parent window that I need it to run upon the child window closi...
Hello SO Gus, Here's another problem. I'm using JQuery-1 to add a simple interactivity to one of my pages. In short, the page contains a search text box at the top right, on document.ready I simply call an inputHint() function that adds the phrase "search products" to my textbox. When the user clicks this textbox, I call another functio...
I have a very peculiar problem. I had written some custom columns for SharePoint. Recently, I found these custom columns break when I group the list items in SharePoint. Now the problem is peculiar because, these custom columns work perfectly in FireFox browsers, they break only in IE! After googling around for browser compatiblity i...
Hi, I'm a frontend web developer working for a company at the moment that has a lot of RIA design going on in the backend but it also caters almost entirely for UK local authorities and social workers. For those of you not too enlightened about local authorities/councils here in the UK, they tend to be rather slow on the uptake of new ...
Hi, I was just skinning a website and found that overflow:visible renders two completely different things from Firefox to IE. Firefox just displays everything outside of the container... like this: -------------------------------- | div style="overflow:visible" | -------------------------------- //overflow content from the div ab...
Hi, I'm trying to execute an HTTP GET from my website to another website that is brought in via iframe. On Firefox, you can see in the source that the correct url is in the iframe src along with it's correct parameters-- and it works. On IE, you can see in the source that the correct url is in the iframe src along with it's correct pa...
Is there a simple rule-of-thumb to know approximately which browser versions and upward will be compatible with a given DOM level? ...
I am currently fighting Google Chrome on the following action: location.href = url location.replace(url) document.location = url window.navigate(url) // doesn't work in Chrome/Firefox location.assign(url) window.open(url, '_self') window.location.href = url I have tried all, and neither will add a history ent...
I'm working on a site and having compatibility issues with IE7 (not working) vs IE8/Firefox (working). Can someone take a look at the following CSS and Screenshots and tell me why my site is broken in IE7 and what I can do to fix it? The site in question is live here: CollectionTree and my css part for that view is #landingMainContai...
I noticed the layout of a website is all jacked up when viewing in IE8 in compatibility mode (assuming this means IE7 and/or IE6 as well) compared to viewing it in IE8 and Firefox. Since the site renders fine in IE8 and Firefox, I'm guessing that means I need to override certain styles for IE6/IE7. Are there any tools that I can use li...
I recently played around with Microsoft's new Expression Web SuperPreview. I like the concept of the software a lot, but there are some browser compatibility problems that keep SuperPreview from being a holistic solution. I have developed my own program for this that is working pretty well for me. Check it out: Browser Tester (.net win...
