When uploading files to a web server using HTTP post, are there any restrictions on the client side (for instance in popular browsers or in the HTTP protocol), that sets a hard boundary on how large a file can be uploaded ? If you know of any browser imposed restrictions, it would be nice if you include the browser version and, if possib...
The question is as it sounds - how to retrieve the client user's time zone based on their browser input? If it matters, server side, J2EE is used - but I don't think that really matters in this case. Right now, HTTP is the protocol, it may use HTTPS when it goes live. ...
Hello. I'm writing an application that uses the WebBrowser control to view web content that can change with AJAX that adds new content/elements. I can't seem to get at the new elements any way I've tried. BrowserCtl.DocumentText doesn't have the up-to-date page and of course it's not in "view source" either. Is there some way to get thi...
I have a set of pages that have tons of JavaScript on it: Table sorting, AJAX calls, autocomplete, dynamically hiding and displaying areas of the page, etc... The problem that I am seeing is when the data on said page gets large a delay (browser freezes) is noticed when leaving the page. This delay happens when the user clicks away, clos...
Any ideas how to stop browsers from forcing focused form fields into view when positioned overflow hidden? ...
It seems that when you copy something from a web browser to the clipboard, at least 2 things are stored: Plain text HTML source code Then it is up to the software that you are pasting into can determine which one it wants. When pasting into MS Excel 2003, you have a paste special option to paste HTML, which will paste the formatted...
I'm wondering what the maximum size of a web browser's cookie's key is. I know the maximum size of a cookie is 4KB, but does the key have a limitation as well? Thanks! ...
The Back and Forward buttons in a browser or browser-like application navigate temporally (sequence in which user navigated pages), which may not necessarily reflect the logical order of the pages. Are there any studies that looked at how this impacts the user's mental model? Any thoughts on how to improve usability and reduce confusion?...
Hello, I have a aspx web application that updates or adds files in a database. The clients access through the browser and one of the requirements is that they can start the update and be able to close the browser while the update continues. It appears to run for a little bit after I close the browser but then it stops. How can you keep...

We write software as a service solutions using ASP.NET and C#. Occasionally a client may have an issue due to a specific browser setting / nuance. Or that they are behind an unknown proxy server. They may also be reporting issues that are actually related to localised bandwidth problems. We're trying to put together a test page that pe...

We are programming a web application (not 'just' a web site, but functionality-wise a real application), and have the following discussion for the next release: our UI designer wants to replace the browser's right-click context menu (showing our own menu where appropriate, or no menu at all) because he wants the web app to be more lik...
Is it possible to make such a HTTP response, that the browser ignores it and keeps showing the previously displayed page? I mean the following scenario: a) user clicks something b) some POST goes to the server (or GET, but let's stick with POST as more interesting) c) server decides that for some reason it does not want to send the r...
How do I setUp selenium to kill the test browser page on occasions where test fails. Currently, when running selenium test cases and a test fails, the browser page stays open and that causes problems when large number of tests is failing. Interestingly enough, it isnt the case when the test passes. Any suggestion?? ...

You hear it all over the place: using javascript to sniff the user agent string to detect browser versions is a Very Bad Thing. The latest version of jQuery has now deprecated its $.browser object in place of $.support. But what should I do if there's a bug or problem which is only affecting IE and not the other browsers, and I'm not sur...
Microsoft announced the official release of IE8 today. Although users will now be able to "disable" IE8, like previous versions, it will not co-exist with earlier versions. I develop web pages, modest as they are, and Internet Explorer gives me more trouble than any other web browser that I test with. I am shocked, floored, that IE6, ...
Now that IE 8 is available: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx That's three flavors of IE to manage - 6, 7, 8 and QA code against and if you add in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc - 6 browsers. How are folks dealing with all of these browsers and enabling the most diversity amongst them with their cod...
I'm trying to use content negotiation to give both a HTML and a RDF/XML representation of a resource on a HTTP server. On the server side this works, i.e. curl -H "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://localhost:8182/ontologies/1 will retrieve the correct version. I can also do the same with JavaScript/Dojo: function downloadOntologyRD...
