IE Question: How many CSS includes can it handle?

I came across a strange behavior while theming Drupal. I turned a few modules that added 5 to 10 link tags to the page. While these new stylesheets were added to the cascade in Firefox, in IE8, by adding these the browser discarded the earlier added CSS files from the hierarchy. In fact, the first files were the first to go, which comple...

I'm attempting to automate login into my small community bank, navigating through several links, and then downloading the .OFX.

Link to Directory on Network in ASP.NET MVC [solved, kinda]

So I'm working on an Intranet web application using ASP.NET MVC, and I need to create a link to a folder on the network.

Forcing the Browser Back a Page

Hi there, I was wondering if there was any way through php or javascript I could tell the browser to go back to the page it came from, or even better not load the page at all (the later being probably impossible).

Do browsers parse javascript on every page load?

Do browsers (IE and Firefox) parse linked javascript files every time the page refreshes? They can cache the files, so I'm guessing they won't try to download them each time, but as each page is essentially separate, I expect them to tear down any old code and re-parse it. This is inefficient, although perfectly understandable, but I w...

Hi, I've got a simple JavaScript regex check (written by other developer) that works perfectly on thousands of different strings. However I've just discovered one particular string value that's causing that regex to take as long as 10min to execute in Firefox/IE which is unacceptable. I've extracted an actual regex call into small code ...
