Ok, I've been tasked to port/convert/upgrade a site at work from table based layout to CSS based layout. The site is very typical, it has a header, navigation bar (width of header), left column, main column, followed by a footer. One problem is our corporate web standard is IE6. We are rumored to deploy IE7 soon, but currently, IE6 i...
I am performing a jQuery .ajax() call that returns a List<string> of IP addresses on a specified subnet. I use a [WebMethod] on an .aspx page to return the values. ASP.NET's built-in JSON serializer does the magic to return the actual JSON used in my Javascript. I have profiled the the server-side time, and it takes about 8 msec to po...
Are there any jQuery plugins or templates that people use to get poeple to stop using IE6 on their websites? I recently saw a plugin that was very obtrusive and offensive that "warned" users of evil of IE6. I am looking for something one can show their customers. ...

Hey all.. I have a weird issue. I am opening a popup window in IE6 with SSL enabled on the server. When the following executes it seems to lock the browser up. I know this is vague. This is the JScript that appears to be the problem. Gotta love your IE6! function PopoffWindow(url) { var features = "height=400,width=550,top=60,left...
When I call Hide() on a ModalPopupExtender in ASP.NET on server side, all the SELECT elements on the page are hidden in IE6. Does controlling the AjaxControlKit.ModalPopupExtender from the server side with Hide() and Show() mess things up? ...
I have some centered content within a div. It shows up fine in Firefox/Chrome. In IE6 the content expands beyond the div to the entire browser window. Any idea what could be causing this? ...
Is it possible to get min/max width working in IE6 without the use of javascript? On a somewhat related note, does Google Chrome not understand, <!--[if IE 6]><!--> <!--<![endif]--> or am I just screwing up that code. Thanks. ...
I'm getting ready to start work on a new web project for a fairly large corporation. For all their users, something like 17,000 people, they are all stuck with IE6. They plan to have everyone transitioned to IE7 by the end of the year, however the IT department is starting to push this promise back. What I've been asked to do is to gi...
Not sure if this counts as programming related, it's a tool that I use. I've got Multiple IE installed so I can test the sites I make on IE6 for those people who require it, but recently IE6 is not letting me enter into any textboxes, they're acting as if they're all disabled. Has anyone else encountered this probelem and/or know of ...
Basically, I have to present a full-screen div on my page for various reasons. Now this is relatively straightforward in non-IE browsers (absolute positioning, top/left/right/bottom at 0px) and can be easily done on IE7 too (with some tweaking) however I just can't get it working on IE6. What's weird that I can get it working in quirks...
Hi, I'm looking for an Eclipse plugin that will enable me to debug JavaScript running in IE6. Ideally, I'd like to be able to just attach the debugger to a running instance of IE6, but if I have to start IE6 from within Eclipse, I could live with that. Thanks, Don ...
Could someone please work out what's happening here, and how I could fix it? I'm testing this page in IE6, IE7, FF and Chrome, and it works in everything but IE6. In that, there is a small gap between the edge of the chickens picture and the div it's in. I hate IE6. ...
Here's the problem. I have an image: <img alt="alttext" src="filename.jpg"/> Note no height or width specified. On certain pages I want to only show a thumbnail. I can't alter the html, so I use the following CSS: .blog_list div.postbody img { width:75px; } Which (in most browsers) makes a page of uniformly wide thumbnails, all wi...

I have a layout with a menu DIV on the left. This is floated left with a fixed EM width. I then have a content DIV which has a left margin of more than the menu's width. So it sits nicely to the right of the menu and fills up the remaining space with both menu and content lined up perfectly. However, in Internet Explorer 6, if the co...
I have a page that has 3 buttons on it, when a user clicks on a button it displays a model popup where the user inputs data etc. On the main page there is a dropdownlist which breaks through the model when it popups up, this is a known IE6 z-index bug. My workaround (after trying bgiframe) was to simply hide the dropdown whenever a pop...
I apply to stackoverflow as my last resort. I got this ie6 bug while using the image at the background of the link. It seems that ie6 scrolls the background. How can I avoid it? At some width it shows like this: And at some other it shows like that: IE7 & FF show this just like I expect: The links are placed inside the div which i...

I am using a simple list as navigation which brings up the appropriate background image depending on the state of the link normal, hover or current. In IE6 the current or actual page is being ignored, not displaying the different image and leaving the link active. The code is - <div id="mainNav"> <ul> <li><a href="../index.html">H...
