Hi guys and gals I am less than satisfied in my HTML/CSS/JS debugging of pages with IE6 and 7 specific bugs. I am aware that IE8 has a Firebug clone, called 'Developer Tools' installed. Is it possible to have IE8 installed (maybe on a VM, i don't mind), set it to compatibility mode (is there one for IE6?), then perform JS debugging a...
I am working on my site in Firefox 3.0.9 (and am very green with CSS) and it looks fair so far. However I have a floating horizontal nav bar at the top that looks like is stepping down. Here is what I attempted so far: 1) I have adjusted the margins, zeroed the padding and changed the width of the background image - all to no effect. ...
This .show and .hide works great in Firefox 3 but not in IE 7. When I click < in the list in IE the span hides but does not show again when I select Between again. Am I doing something wrong? <select id="lst" onchange="onselectchange();"> <option>Between</option> <option><</option> </select> &nbs...
I am having a problem with jQuery AJAX calls on IE7. This simple code works fine on FF and Opera. But on IE7 it takes 3-5sec. - that's 20 times slower than FF! Loading content is pure HTML and inline JavaScript code. No JS rendering. I even turned of the inline JavaScript code. Bu still slow. $('#block').load('some url'); How to ov...
I have a dot net nuke site that I have written a custom module for. It a form that users fill out to submit information - no big deal. On the form, I use the Ajax and the Ajaxoolkit for validation, and a calendar popup. I enable/disable controls based on form data. Everthing works well in every browser/OS combo that I have tested EXCE...
I'm developing a project in which I need to change the language according to the flag I click using AJAX. It's working fine in IE7 but it shows an error when I run it in IE6. <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script> <script language="javascript"> google.load("lang...
I have tested in IE6, Firefox 3.0.5 and Chrome and they all work. In IE7 it displays as boxes. For example: <select name="selectact" id="selectact"> <option value="page" selected="selected">网 页</option> <option value="news">新 闻</option> <option value="trade">行 业</option> <option value="area">区 域</option> <option value="web">网 站</op...
This bit of HTML and Javascript works in IE6, FF2 and FF3. I can't find any reason why it shouldn't work in IE7 also, but this.selectedIndex always returns 0. ** in javascript file function onTypeChange() { alert($('type_id').selectedIndex); if ($('type_id').selectedIndex != 0) { Element.update('chosenType', this.o...
Here's the offending code. To test it, save it in a file called "test.html" and click the button in the top-left corner. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Blarg</title> <style type='text/css'> body { margin: 20px; } ...
Hi, I have some div boxes which should show a speech box when on hover. With jQuery and CSS it’s nothing too hard. However, the popup speech appears under the neighbor div in IE7 — I can not make it to appear under it (see the shots). I tried to play with z-index at different spots with no success. FF IE7 HTML <div class="boardsh...
I am developing a website using forms and one of the browsers being targeted is unfortunately IE 6 and 7. I am having an issue with CSS and IE's rendering of form elements that are styled. I have written a test case, and it is as such (also available online at http://xistence.osnn.net/testcases/ie67fieldset/): <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-/...
I am able to set this header X-UA-Compatible "IE=EmulateIE7" using the following directive in my Apache 2.0 httpd.conf file: <Location /mypath> Header set X-UA-Compatible "IE=EmulateIE7" </Location> How can I configure Apache to only set this header for IE 8 browsers? ...

Something seems to be breaking the display of lists (ul and ol) in IE7. They work fine in IE8, FF, Safari etc but not IE7 and IE6. I just want them to be displayed normally: ul lists should show bullet points and ol lists should show numbers. I've narrowed it down to the first 1000 lines of code in styles_layout.css... ;) Actually, I ...
I'm an Ubuntu user, so I'm not knowledgeable of Internet Explorer. We have a javascript based drop down menu thingie using li's and ul's and all that. It works fine in FF and IE6. However not in IE7. It looks like IE7 doesn't call the onMouseOver function unless you go over the text in the middle, as opposed to the blank area between the...
Hi, We are using the builtin ftp in VB6. (Drag and drop control) The ftp dll that follows VB6 is tied to IE. And after upgrading from IE6 to IE7 the DLL changes and makes it impossible to connect to a password protected ftp. What ftp libraries/dll's are available to use from VB6? Preferably open sourced. ...
I'm teaching myself CSS through books and websites. I've made a simple site with a centered box followed by two-columns, and it displays fine in Firefox 3 and Safari 3, but not in IE7. My right column stays on the right, but is pushed down so that it starts where the left column ends. I've seen a lot of blogs about IE hacks, but I don't ...

I noticed that on my Vista and XP machines, the automatic update is asking me to upgrade to IE 8 (from IE 7).
