Hey, I know there is built-in Internet explorer, but what I'm looking for is to open Firefox/Mozilla window (run the application) with specified URL. Anyone can tell me how to do that in C# (.nET) ? ...
Regarding cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks, if cookies are most used authentication method, why do web browsers allow sending cookies of some domain (and to that domain) from a page generated from another domain? Isn't CSRF easily preventable in browser by disallowing such behavior? As far as I know, this kind of security che...

Hi, I 'm exploring for a browser solution / API that has the following features: Must support the nowadays default web technologies Must support client side XSLT Must support executing arbitrary Javascript on the pages it loads Must be able to catch events from the web page targeted to the browser or OS (I am specifically interested in...
I have a case where a 3rd party ad is bleeding through my modal window implementation. I'd like to up the z-index of the modal overlay as high as possible so the ad won't show on top of it. Is there a limit to z-index values? I'm sure if there is it varies by browser. Anyone know? ...
I want to run a psychological study for which participants have to look at large images. The experiment is done on the web and therefore in a browser window. Is it possible to tell the browser to go into fullscreen, for example on button press? I know there is the possibility to open a fixed-size popup window. Do you think this would b...
Hi, I've read that Silverlight 2.0 imposes by design an asynchronous model when communicating with the web server. I haven't had a chance to experiment with Silverlight, but I assume that it uses a thread-pool to manage threads like in the .NET Framework. Now, since some browsers, most notably Internet Explorer, have an hard-coded limit...
I know that most links should be left up to the end-user to decide how to open, but we can't deny that there are times you almost 'have to' force into a new window (for example to maintain data in a form on the current page). What I'd like to know is what the consensus is on the 'best' way to open a link in a new browser window. I know...
I wonder why no browser out there has such simple but essential feature. Am I missing something? Is there a technical reason? I'm tired of all those javascript/flash/java hacks out there ... ...
Why isn't there a logout button? Why no list of "websites you're logged into"? Is it because of some issue with the HTTP specs? Life would be much easier for web developers if they could actually rely on HTTP auth ... ...
Has anyone been able to create Container-Specific Master Pages for Safari or Chrome? I can't find any ".browser" files for either of these. How often is the %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\CONFIG\Browsers directory updated? Thanks ...
I've seen a number of questions asking about a web SVN repository-browsing tool. However, of the ones I've taken a look at, they either require a specific username/password to be configured, rely on default access to the repository being available, or require a separate user database outside Subversion. In a corporate setting, SVN repo...

I've got a page https://server.com/listen-to-sound, and a Wav file embedded in it via <EMBED/> tag, like this: <embed src='https://server.com/path-to-sound' hidden="true" autostart="true" /> The page https://server.com/listen-to-sound is opened in IE 6 ...
What's the best way to detect that Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed from a web browser? I'm assuming it would have to be done on the client-side (I don't think Adobe adds any user-agent strings). Preferably in JavaScript and in Internet Explorer, although it would be nice if it could also be done in FireFox, Safari, etc... ...
Question I have an application written in Java. It is designed to run on a Linux box standalone. I am trying to spawn a new firefox window. However, firefox never opens. It always has a shell exit code of 1. I can run this same code with gnome-terminal and it opens fine. Background So, here is its initialization process: Start ...
Back in the earlier days of the internet I remember that in certain browsers, every time you downloaded an image or a file, the URL of where that file was downloaded from would be written into that file's properties (I guess the summary tab?). I think Netscape v2 did this if I remember correctly. I really miss that kind of functionality...
Hello, Let's suppose I have an applet running within a page in a browser. What happens when the browser is closed by the user? Is the applet notified so that it can perform some kind of close action on its side (closing connections opened to a server, cleaning static variables, ...)? Also, I assume the same behavior would apply for a ...
Is there a good way to determine if a person has a popup blocker enabled? I need to maintain a web application that unfortunately has tons of popups throughout it and I need to check if the user has popup blockers enabled. The only way I've found to do this is to open a window from javascript, check to see if it's open to determine if a...
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find it. What are the benefits/limitations of using a browser-based interface for a stand-alone application vs. using a normal GUI framework? I'm working on a Python program currently implement with wxPython for the GUI. The application is simply user-entry forms and dialogs. I am consi...
I have written a script that goes through a bunch of files and snips out a portion of the files for further processing. The script creates a new directory and creates new files for each snip that is taken out. I have to now evaluate each of the files that were created to see if it is what I needed. The script also creates an html index...
