I have an element which may contain very big amounts of data, but I don't want it to ruin the page layout, so I set max-height: 100px and overflow:auto, hoping for scrollbars to appear when the content does not fit. It all works fine in Firefox and IE7, but IE8 behaves as if overflow:hidden was present instead of overflow:auto. I tried o...
What are the main differences (if any) between the box models of IE8 and Firefox3? Are they the same now? What are the other main differences between these two browsers? Can a web developer assume that these two browsers as the same since they (seem to) support the latest web standards? ...
I am using VS 2008 with SP1 and the IE 8 beta 2. Whenever I start a new Web site or when I double-click an ASPX in the solution explorer, VS insists on attempting to the display the ASPX page in a free-standing IE browser instance. The address is the local file path to the ASPX it's trying to load and an error that says, "The XML page ca...
Internet Explorer 8 breaks what must be every 3rd page I look at. The point of this early release was, I presume, to give website owners the chance to update their sites so it wouldn't be such a hassle for the final release. Has anyone actually done this? Is anyone even planning on doing this? I have yet to notice any of the big sites...
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) ...
When IE8 is released, will the following code work to add a conditional stylesheet? <!--[if IE 8]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie-8.0.css" /> <![endif]--> I've read conflicting reports as to whether this works with the beta. I'm hoping someone can share their experience. Thanks. ...

Client performs POST on http://alpha/foo Server responds with redirect to http://beta/bar Client performs GET on http://beta/bar Server responds with redirect to http://beta/baz and sets cookie Client performs GET on http://beta/baz including cookie Server provides response User selects "Open in ...
Quick question. What do you think, I have a few sites that use a 3 level drop-down menu that will be broken if IE8 released with its current CSS standards in IE8 beta2. So do I take the time to redo those drop downs now? I realize that the way they rendered CSS changed completely between beta 1 and 2, but 2 was/is supposed the be a gene...
Hey all, I'm playing around with ASP.net MVC and JQuery at the moment. I've come across behavour which doesn't seem to make sense. I'm calling JQuery's $.getJSON function to populate some div's. The event is triggered on the $(document).ready event. This works perfectly. There is a small AJAX.BeginForm which adds another value to ...
Is there any HTML5 support in IE8? Is it on the IE8 roadmap? ...
PLEASE DON'T CLOSE -- IT'S PROGRAMMING-RELATED (BUT NO CODE INCLUDED) I develop MOSS sites, and I need to make sure my sites are compatible with IE 7,8 and FireFox. I have an external testing site (Windows 2003, IIS 6) and when I browse to this MOSS site, I can authenticate without any problems using IE8. When I browse to my local i...
I'm seeing a lot of Javascript errors in IE8 on pages which worked fine in IE7 (and Firefox, Chrome, and Safari). I know that IE made some changes to things like Javascript security. Some of these don't give clear error messages - things like cross-domain violations can end up throwing very vague exceptions. Let's make a checklist of to...
IE causes a very unattractive flash or flicker when the page posts back. Without using an UpdatePanel, how can I reduce or remove it? Most solutions suggest using page transitions like so: <meta content="BlendTrans(Duration=0.1)" http-equiv="Page-Exit" /> We have been using this with success for a couple of years, but it's broken in ...
See here: http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/ Does anyone have any experience or remarks about this javascript? Is it worth including? Do you recommend it? ...
The following Html works great for me in FireFox or IE7/8 (with or without the Style Tag) <!-- Deliberately no DocType to induce Quirks Mode --> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <style type="text/css"> Input.quirks { margin: 1px 0px 1px 0px; border: solid black 1px; ...
Hi, Any ideas why after upgrade from IE7 to IE8 RC1 I may got: 'The ordinal 650 could not be located in the dynamic link library iertutil.dll.' error? ...
I have no idea why this is happening. I have some very straightforward code, replicated below, which works fine in all browsers except for IE 7 & 8. In those browsers, trying to expand the list of options in the select triggers the built-in Pop-up blocker bar. What gives? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "ht...
Hi folks, I've got a strange one. I just installed IE8 on XP, and a site I manage now cannot be displayed. When I go there, I get: This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including: "Internet connectivity has been lost. "The website is temporarily unavailable. "The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable. "The Domain Na...
We are beginning to see requests in our Apache Logs in the form /abc/(null) These requests all have MSIE 8.0 and Trident 4.0 in the User-Agent field. The requests began to appear when we hadn't deployed any changed code for several weeks. What is the source of these requests? Is this a bug in MSIE 8? What is a systematic way to d...
