Double Clicking Table Cell Problem in IE8

I used jquery to attach a double click event handler to a table and display a modal popup when a cell is double clicked. This works fine in Firefox however in IE8 double clicking the cell causes the text in the cell to be highlighted then displays the "Search Accelerator" button over top of everything. Is there anyway to prevent IE fr...

Javascript Working in IE8 comp mode but not standards mode

I have a JS script that works on IE8 compatibility mode, FF, Chrome, Opera, but not IE8 standards mode. As I think standards mode is more strict than compatibility mode, maybe there's something wrong with my code. How can I debug? Is there something that shows me things that would work in compatibility mode but standard? Also, in the s...

File Does Not Begin With '%PDF-'

I had a peculiar problem yesterday. A customer put one of my Delphi apps on some Toshiba laptops, and all was fine until it was time to generate some Acrobat files as a Rave 7 report, which produced the subject error. The laptops had Acrobat 7 Standard installed with XP SP3 and IE8. I uninstalled Acrobat 7 Standard, put in Acrobat 5 R...

Cloning background image with parenthesis in file name

I have a background image with a parenthesis in the filename: <DIV style="BACKGROUND: url('http://site.com/image(8).png');"&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; This is fine normally, and there is no confusion because there are quotes around the file name. Looking in IE's developer tools however, I see that the browser stripped the quotes for some reason...

ASP.NET form designer & the DPI/em issue

This issue is obviously bigger than I thought! Using the VS2008 form designer for web pages, it'd a doddle to lay everything out using pixels. In fact, as far as I can tell, it's very hard to use absolution positioning and anything but pixels. So my webapp has developed nicely until somebody mentioned the 120DPI issue and I've wandered ...

IE8 & FF XHTML error or badly formed span?

I recently have found a strange occurrence in IE8 & FF. The designers where using js to dynamically create some span tags for layout (they were placing rounded corner graphics on some tabs). Now the xhtml, in js, looked like this: <span class=”leftcorner” /><span class=”rightcorner” /> and worked perfectly! As we all know dynamically ...

Layout issue with website when in compatibility mode

I noticed the layout of a website is all jacked up when viewing in IE8 in compatibility mode (assuming this means IE7 and/or IE6 as well) compared to viewing it in IE8 and Firefox. Since the site renders fine in IE8 and Firefox, I'm guessing that means I need to override certain styles for IE6/IE7. Are there any tools that I can use li...

I have a tab container(Ajax control toolkit) that holds a gridview that when you select it, it will show ...

IE8 Refusing to apply stylesheet to dom created elements.

Just today learned that one of my websites, TwitPeek.net, is not rendering properly in IE8 outside of "Compatibility Mode". The site works fine in IE7. Upon some investigation, it appears that IE8 is refusing to apply the page stylesheets to the anchor and img tags that the page's javascript generates. Because of this, none of the scr...

No matter how I specify the cellspadding attribute, it IE8 in the compatibility mode ignores it. There are several indications as to why it's being ignored: The layout is off by exactl...
