I'm trying to explain to a non technical person, why certain websites (generally ones whose user base exist solely in countries where Microsoft owns more than 99% of the market share) fail to load in Safari or even Firefox (specially on Macs). Such users generally wonder why anyone would even think of buying a Mac, when it doesn't even l...

Hi, Does anyone know how to open multiple URL's in a single browser. Instead of opening multiple windows, I want the urls to open in tabs in IE. I am trying to approach this using JavaScript. Thanks in advance. ...
My app is a JApplet which opens a JFrame. the applet has a listener and a button, so that if the frame goes behind another window (looses focus), the user can simply click the button to get it to come to the front. frame.toFront(); This works fine. But initially (in the applet's public void init() {}), after calling frame.setVisible(tr...

I've got a page with an iframe that I'm trying to track the history with using the YUI Browser History Manager. I have two IFRAMEs on the page, one for the manager and one which I'm using to navigate. The issue I'm running is to is that after I've navigated the frame a few times and the back button is hit for the first time, the YUI ma...
First, this issue is not about block elements collapsing when their children are floated. In fact the issue has nothing to do with clearing at all. The issue is this. Suppose I have a series of floated divs like: <div class="column">Column 1</div> <div class="column"></div> <div class="column">Column 3</div> With css: div.column {...

How can I make HTML from email safe to display in web browser with python? Any external references shouldn't be followed when displayed. In other words, all displayed content should come from the email and nothing from internet. Other than spam emails should be displayed as closely as possible like intended by the writer. I would like...
I have a div with is replaced upon certain user actions. These actions are performed under the div that is being replaced and in the case that the div is too large to fit completely into the view window, along with the buttons used to change it underneath, the browser will jump to the top of the newly loaded div. Which is annoying. Doe...
I realize the question of a good CSS editor has been asked dozens of times here on StackOverflow. However, I am specifically looking for one that has preview functionality for a variety of browser rendering engines. Most importantly, it MUST be able to render IE6, IE7, and Safari 3.0. Price is not a factor. I have been looking at Aptana...
From a child popup window (opened using window.open), I am trying to change the URL of the window that opened me, e.g. window.opener.location.href = 'http://www.google.com'; In all browsers this works wonderfully, except for IE8 (and I am somewhat sure it worked in previous IE8. Maybe a security update kills this). In IE8 what happens...

Briefly, all of the up-to-date versions of the three browsers that I use day-to-day, namely Chrome, Firefox and IE, make it possible to drag links to the favourites bar.

Greetings, I am writing a networked flash application. The server (an independent C++ app) sends resources for the flash client to manipulate and/or display, eg, images and sound. I'm assuming that the browser stores these resources in its cache. Since the resources can be pretty big, I don't want to resend them from the server each ...
Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to create a Flex application accepting the drop of local files? The aim is to only retrieve the full path/name of the file in the local file system. Google results are mainly about dragging and dropping items inside a flex application. Thank you in advance. ...
Currently browsers have incomplete caching implementation. It only allows to set expiration or keep immediate expiration. Important 3rd option to expire cache programmatically is missing. Without that 3rd option developers cannot deploy new version of code efficiently and reliably. If they use 2nd option it is inefficient if they have ...
