getElementsByName in IE7

I have some code doing this : var changes = document.getElementsByName(from); for (var c=0; c<changes.length; c++) { var ch = changes[c]; var current = new String(ch.innerHTML); etc. } This works fine in FF and Chrome but not in IE7. Presumably because getElementsByName isn't working in IE. What's the best workaround? ...

Web page runtime errors

As I use the web, I regularly get runtime errors (usually javascript) being reported via popups. This can make for a really unsatisfying user experience on many otherwise excellent websites and also makes me wonder what functionality I am not getting access to. Why is this such a common issue? Is this down to a lack of testing or is it ...

Best approach for fixing CSS issues to work with IE 7

Recently, I started maintaining a web application which unfortunately works only with IE 6. Most of the issues are related to CSS. Is there any tool which can help me standardize the CSS classes to work with both IE 6 and IE 7? I understand I have to go through standards but I need something to start with quickly. Firebug can help me t...

Internet Explorer control uses IE7's own settings for ClearType and font size, can I override them?

I'm embedding an IE control into my C++ application. The problem is that although system-wide, ClearType is disabled, IE7 has its own separate setting, and unless I specifically disable that too, text inside the IE control will be antialiased while the rest of the app will not. The same goes for IE7's font size setting. It wouldn't be ...

Background of empty element used by following element in IE

In IE6 the paragraph following the empty paragraph is displayed with the background color of the empty paragraph, which I'm guessing is wrong! It works correctly in Firefox, but I haven't checked IE7. Is there a CSS solution to this problem, or do I have to remove the empty element? (I would rather not have to remove empty elements, a...

Internet Explorer serves up unknown file type

I have a web server on port 80 and port 81. IE can connect to the server on either port. This worked fine until I installed an application with a file type (.TPJ) that had a MIME type of text/xml on the client PC. At that point IE no longer opened the web site, but offered to download a file serverName.TPJ. The file contained the correct...

JavaScript & IE7 - Why won't my *.onload = function() { } fire?

I have a gallery I quickly coded up for a small site, and under Firefox 3 and Safari 3 works fine. But when I test on my old best friend IE7, it seems to not fire the imageVar.onload = function() { // code here }.. which I want to use to stop the load effect and load the image. The site is at http://www.stationhotels.com.au/new/?page=a...

IE 7 not displaying a simple JS Alert??

Try clicking on the "Print" button on the following page: (link removed - consensus is that everything was working fine and the problem was my setup) For debugging purposes, I've replaced a chunk of javascript with a simple alert("test"), and even that isn't showing up in IE7 for me. It works totally fine in Safari, FF (Mac and PC) and ...

I using GWT and have created a login form. I've tried all sorts of ways to get IE7 to prompt to remember the login info but with no success.

Detecting Vista IE7 Protected Mode with Javascript

I'd like to be able to detect Vista IE7 Protected Mode within a page using javascript, preferably. My thinking is to perform an action that would violate protected mode, thus exposing it. The goal is to give appropriate site help messaging to IE7 Vista users. ...

Why does passing ClientID to a javascript function pass the whole control?

If I pass a ClientID to a javascript function as a parameter without including the single quotes around it, it gets passed as a reference to the control itself which can then be used without first calling getElementByID. I can't find this behaviour documented anywhere, is this a browser specific thing or a .net thing or what? I am sett...

Debugging JavaScript in IE7

I need to debug JavaScript in Internet Explorer 7. Unfortunately, its default debugger doesn't provide me with much information. It tells me the page that the error showed up on (not the specific script) and gives me a line number. I don't know if that is related to my problem. It'd be nice if it could narrow down the error to a line ...

showModelessDialog - onLoad failure - IE 7

MSIE v7 does not (in my hands) open a Modeless Dialog or trigger an onLoad event if there is a Javascript alert in the target page.
