I use Firebug and the Mozilla JS console like crazy, but every now and then run into an IE-only Javascript bug, which everyone knows are really hard to locate even though you know theyre there (ex: error on line 724, when your source html only has 200 lines!) I would love to have a lightweight JS tool (a la firebug) for IE, something I c...
The Setting: The program in question tries to post form data via an AJAX call to a target procedure contained in the same package as the caller. This is done for a site that uses a secure connection (https). The technology used here is PLSQL and the DOJO JavaScript library. The development tool is basically a text editor. Code Snippet: ...
I'm so tired of not having tabbed browsing when navigating through windows explorer. I've tried a few solutions in the past, but what I really want is just an extension/addon/plugin/something that lets me browse my file system with tabs. Does anyone have any good solutions that they have found to do this? Alternatively, I'm willing to ...
As most Web developers know, IE6 is a pain to support when it comes to making a website look and feel just as in the other major browsers (Firefox and IE7). I'd like to know what are the feelings of other developers toward supporting IE6 on their websites. Of course if your main user base uses IE6 or if you're working for a client that ...
Currently, I don't really have a good method of debugging javascript in internet explorer and safari. In Firefox, you can use Firebug's Logging feature and Command Line functions. However, this doesn't help me when I move to other browsers. ...
Trying to fix JavaScript bugs is huge pain as is determining the styles applied to an element. Firebug makes these issues a lot easier when working on Firefox, but what do you do when the code works fine on Firefox but IE is complaining? ...

I've got some Japanese in the ALT attribute, but the tooltip is showing me the ugly block characters in the tooltip. The rest of the content on the page renders correctly. So far, it seems to be limited to the tooltips. ...
I'm trying to use jQuery to format code blocks, specifically to add a <pre> tag inside the <code> tag: $(document).ready(function() { $("code").wrapInner("<pre></pre>"); }); Firefox applies the formatting correctly, but IE puts the entire code block on one line. If I add an alert alert($("code").html()); I see that IE has inserte...
Are we supposed to find workarounds in our web applications so that they will work in every situation? Is it time to do away with IE6 programming? ...
I used to demote my user account so that it had no admin priveleges and used a 'sudo-like' trick where you create a shortcut to IE6 and enabled the 'Run with different credentials' option to open a shell window as local admin so I could install, uninstall things etc. When I upgraded to IE7 this stopped working - IE7 launches Windows Exp...
Try loading this normal .jpg file in Internet Explorer 6.0. I get an error saying the picture won't load. Try it in any other browser and it works fine. What's wrong? The .jpg file is just a normal picture sitting on the web server. I can even create a simple web page: <a href="http://www.zodiacwheels.com/images/wheels/blackout_thumb.jp...

What I am trying to do is change the background colour of a table cell <td> and then when a user goes to print the page, the changes are now showing. I am currently using an unobtrusive script to run the following command on a range of cells: element.style.backgroundColor = "#f00" This works on screen in IE and FF, however, when you ...
Hello all, I know this might be a no-brainer, but please read on. I also know it's generally not considered a good idea, maybe the worst, to let a browser run and interact with local apps, even in a intranet context. We use citrix for home-office, and people really like it. Now, they would like the same kind of environment at work, a ...
