Looking back at Stackoverflow podcast with Litmus (Podcast 78). The podcast discussed briefly the browser incompatibilities and quirks, especially with IE6 (a claim echoed everywhere). Litmus solution is to render the page in all the different browsers and look for differences. However, I wonder how much incompatibility can be detecte...
Hi, there are document compatibility modes for all versions of IE browsers, but none for IE6. why is it like that? how can I make IE8/IE7 browser display a website in IE6 standards mode? other than changing the code to use conditional statements for different browsers, or different websites altogether, is there any easier or better sol...

I have a test webpage with: %response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" I put it on two seperate sites and I can open it from IE6 on one site, but not the other. I will get a "can not open xxx file" error message after I click Open on the file download popup. If I use firefox or IE8, I don't have this problem. And IE6 works fin...

Is there any Javscript (library) or any other solution, through which we can fix most of IE6 issues like png fix and also make IE6 to support CSS3 properties? ...
I am having some problems getting this layout to work properly in IE (both 6 and 7). It, of course, works fine in Safari and Firefox. What's going on here: I have a footer which is fixed to the bottom of the viewport, or under content - whichever is longer. I have a header above the content which contains a number of centered and flo...
On a site I am working on I load up a series of images which can be animated using some controls I implemented w/javascript. Everything works just fine in all browsers but IE6 which locks up and never recovers; at least not w/in the 15min I let it sit there. The part it is choking on is a portion where I try to modified the contents of...

When I navigate within my Facebook Application on IE6, Facebook appears to re-append the base URL to the end of the actual URL (sometimes). I am at times submitting a form, otherwise I attempt to paginate a photo gallery whereas the &p= is the only part I really want to change. Facebook appears to append _fb_fromhash among other facebook...
I have inside a div, one h1 tag followed by a span tag which are one next to the other, but the span is floating to the right. It works in firefox, chrome, and internet explorer 7 and 8, but not in ie6. In ie6 the h1 tag is bigger for no reason, so the span tag stays bellow it. Heres the code: <div style="width: 740px; float:left...
IE6 is always surprising me but this one is REALLY odd. I'm creating a horizontal menu where I need the text in each 'button' to be vertically centered. Easy in any browser except IE. So, for IE browsers, I'm using a bit of javascript to add the necessary padding to each button to make sure the text appears centered. I got this working...
Edit (Solution Discovered) Thanks everyone for your help on this. The problem was an error in one of the lines of CSS that was being included (it's a large project with a huge combined CSS file so it was hard to spot). This was the problem line: background:transparent url(sf-pager.gif') repeat-x scroll bottom; Notice the missing apos...
I'm sorry that I can't find a property title of my problem. I wrote a simple web page and some javascript to insert table row and delete it. Now my problem is when I delete the last inserted row, the second cell of the first table row's width became zero in IE6. Anyone can give me some advice? Great thanks. <html> <head> <meta http-equi...

I'm trying to have two or more columns worth of DIVs for input elements in a form. It's a very complex form, and some elements will be hidden and shown depending on some answers. The problem is I can't get the DIVs to space accordingly in IE6 while having an effective hide/show. This is what mostly works: .first_column { float:left; ...
I am having trouble with some JavaScript running before the page is completely rendered in IE 6 (maybe other versions too but just testing IE6 for now. Firefox seems to be OK). I can get around this by calling the js on window.onload like this: window.onload = function(){doIt();} However, my concern is the fact that I will overwrite...
