I'm getting ready to start work on a new web project for a fairly large corporation. For all their users, something like 17,000 people, they are all stuck with IE6. They plan to have everyone transitioned to IE7 by the end of the year, however the IT department is starting to push this promise back. What I've been asked to do is to gi...
Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to capture details from the web page that a user previously visited, if my page was not linked from it? What I am trying to achieve is to allow users to my site to find a page they like while browsing the web, and then navigate to a page on my site via a bookmark, which will add the URL (and possibly ...
We are trying to do a loose-integration of our product with another in the company. Ours has both a windows and web client, theirs is entirely on the web. In short they've made a landing page for us that accepts some parameters and we simply make a GET to that URL to transition the user into the other application. There are issues in th...
Not sure if this counts as programming related, it's a tool that I use. I've got Multiple IE installed so I can test the sites I make on IE6 for those people who require it, but recently IE6 is not letting me enter into any textboxes, they're acting as if they're all disabled. Has anyone else encountered this probelem and/or know of ...

If it does so, the shorter domain is used for subsequent origin checks. For example, assume a script in the document at http://store.company.com...

Everything I read about cookies says that setting the expiry time of a cookie to zero should make it a `session' cookie, which the browser will then delete upon exit. http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/ says that : "...generally a session is the length of time that the browser is open for..." http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.se...
I am having issues with IE6 (surprise) and HTTP Compression using IIS6. I really don't want to turn off HTTP Compression for the site. Is there a way to tell IIS6 to not compress responses to specific versions of browsers? IE7 works fine. EDIT: My problem actually comes from Silverlight 2 consuming a WCF Service. With compression tu...
are there any methods to record http traces that are issued from the browser? I would be mainly interested in the GET / POST methods to understand the interaction with a webpage. Maybe helpful the browser I am using is FireFox. ...

I have a list of full versions that do and do not support this. This is fixed in a windows update, but it's not possible for me to force the users of my app to carry out windows update...

I have an ajax application that is based on jQuery. I enabled browser history using jQuery history plugin. But we find out that the application generated too much history. Especially, we provide an in-page "ajax-back" button that enable the page to return to previous ajax state. When the in-page "ajax-back" button was pressed, we w...
I'm writing my own webserver and I don't yet handle concurrent connections properly. I get massive page loading lag due to inappropriately handling concurrent connections (I respond to SYN, but I lose the GET packet somehow. The browser retries after a while, but it takes 3 seconds!) I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to instru...

The web server hosting the re...
I am starting on an enhancement to an existing Java applet where I let the user hit a link in a menu item, and open a page in his/her default browser. Some of our deployed code is in Java 1.4, while the majority of it is in Java 5. This prevents me from using the Desktop API in Java 6. It looks like the easiest way to solve the problem i...
