I have an absolutely positioned div containing several children, one of which is a relatively positioned div. When I use a percentage-based width on the child div, it collapses to 0 width on IE7, but not on Firefox or Safari. If I use pixel width, it works. If the parent is relatively positioned, the percentage width on the child works...
Here is the scenario: I have a table with a margin-bottom of 19px. Below that I have a form that contains some fieldsets. One of them is floated right. The problem is that the margin-bottom is not getting the full 19px in IE7. I've gone through all of the IE7 css/margin/float bugs that I can think of and have tried remedies but have be...
When I am accessing my site from any computer I see this warning popping up: "This web site wants to run the following add-on: 'Microsoft Data Access - Remote Data Services Dat...' from 'Microsoft Corporation'. If you trust the web site and the add-on and want to allow it to run, click here..." I am guessing this is some kind of virus...
Does anyone know how IE7 determines what Security Zone to use for a site? I see the basics for IE6 here, but I can't find the equivalent for IE7. ...
Hi, I have a page where there is a column and a content div, somewhat like this: <div id="container"> <div id="content">blahblahblah</div> <div id="column"> </div> </div> With some styling I have an image that is split between the column and the content but needs to maintain the same vertical positioning so that it lines up. ...

I am writing a Browser Helper Object for ie7, and I need to detect DOM modification (i.e. via AJAX). So far I couldn't find any feasible solution. ...
I have just received and bypassed a problem with LightWindow and IE7 where, on page load, it throws a JavaScript error on line 444 of lightwindow.js, claiming that the "object does not support this property or method". Despite finding various postings on various forums, no Google result I could find had a solution, so I am posting this ...
I am implementing a HttpRequestValidationException in my Application_Error Handler, and if possible, I want to display a custom message. Now, I'm thinking about the StatusCode. In my current example, it sends a 200, which I think should not be done. I would like to send the (IMHO) more appropriate 400 Bad Request instead. However, at th...
Firefox has Web Developer plugin and Firebug for troubleshooting html/css/javascript issues. Google Chrome and Safari have a very similar console and right-click options for "Inspect Element". Does IE7 have anything similar for troubleshooting layout/html/css issues? ...
Here's an interesting problem. On a recently installed Server 2008 64bit I opened IE and through the Tools -> Options I changed the homepage to iGoogle.com. Clicked okay and then clicked the homepage button. IE crashes. Now you'd think that I could just remove iGoogle as the homepage but when I open IE it immediately goes to that page a...
I recently came across an IE7 only bug that I thought I'd share so when I come to this site 6 months from now to figure out the same thing, I'll have it on hand. I believe the easiest way to recreate this bug would be the following: <div style="overflow: auto; height: 150px;"> <div style="position: relative;">[...]</div> </div> ...
Is it possible to launch a new window in JavaScript using the window.Open function, then set the focus to that tab? Here's what I'm doing today: var winRef = window.open(outUrl,wName,'left='+ wX +',top=' + wY + ',height=' + wH + ',width=' + wW + args); try { // Not all window types support the focus() property. ...
When using PNG files (made with Paint.NET) as background images on my web site, IE7 is changing the colors and actually displaying a darker version of my images, as seen here. In this image, the dark background and background image should be both #001122, and the medium background and background image #004466. But IE7 changes the images ...
I'm working now on a page that has a column of boxes styled with sexy shadows and corners and whatnot using the example here. I have to admit, I don't fully understand how that CSS works, but it looks great. Inside the topmost box is a text-type input used for searching. That search box is wired up to a YUI autocomplete widget. Every...
I have an asp.net application that runs exclusively on IE7 (internal web site). When a user needs to enter data, I pop up a child window with a form. When the form closes, it calls javascript:window.opener.location.reload(true) so that the new data will display on the main page. The problem is that the browser complains that it must re...
We have a CMS system whose web interface gets served over HTTPS. This works beautifully for Firefox, but when we load it in IE6 or IE7, it complains that "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items." I've loaded the page in Firefox and checked with Firebug, and every connection seems to be going through HTTPS, as should be the c...
When uploading a file (jpeg) via a form in IE7 I am seeing a mime-type of "image/pjpeg" instead of "image/jpeg" (as I see in Firefox or similar). It's easy enough to work around this problem, but I'm just wondering why IE7 is behaving differently in this case? ...
I have an script that receives an encrypted url and from that generates a download, the most critic par of the script is this: $MimeType = new MimeType(); $mimetype = $MimeType->getType($filename); $basename = basename($filename); header("Content-type: $mimetype"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$basename\""); heade...
Is there a way to have Internet Explorer 8 and IE 6 side by side without virtualizing? I used Multiple IEs which works fine with IE 7, but since I installed IE 8 beta 2, IE 6 started behaving oddly (that is, more than usual) ...
