I've come across a really strange problem where a page I'm trying to test in IE7 and IE8 is taking forever to load. The problem is that it works in all other browsers just fine (yes... even IE6). The page just keeps loading saying: '(1 item remaining) Waiting for http://...' Does anyone know of any reason this could be happening? ...
Hi, I have a few areas in a form I'm producing where I use jquery to appendTo a dom element I have created and slide it down as follows: function createForm(event) { var input = $(event.data.element); var name = input.val(); input.attr("disabled", true); input.parent().parent().fadeOut("slow", function() { $.get('<%=Ur...
I'm working on login page written as a JSP. It's pretty simple but behaves differently in IE8 and Firefox (big surprise there). I have not tested this is other browsers yet. I could probably hack a fix in with some Javascript but I was looking for more information about the behavior, before I just implement a workaround, with hopes of a...
This is something of a follow-up question to my question here. You can find the HTML source in a text file here. When I load that page in IE8, I get the "Done, but with errors on page." message in my status bar. The detail view shows Expected identifier sms Line: 147 Code: 0 ...
I'm trying to resize a browser (I know... I know...) by the width only, and would like to maintain the users current height of the browser and I'm struggling to get it working correctly under IE8. if I do: window.resizeTo(document.documentElement.clientWidth, document.documentElement.clientHeight); Which should in theory, maintain th...
I developed an HTML page that uses jQuery and Ajax. I had the following lines in my <head> tag: <script language="javascript" type="application/javascript" src="script/jquery.js"></script> <script language="javascript" type="application/javascript"> function someFunction() { some code; } </script> ... later - down...
TL;DR: Adding any non-built-in functions to Array.prototype AND Function.prototype will cause the IE8 native JSON parser to get a stack overflow when parsing any JSON that contains an array, but only when you also pass a reviver function into JSON.parse(). This started out as a question, but I answered my own original question, so now I...
Hi there This code works in every other browser I've tried, except IE8. IE8 appears to ignore the z-index - and the pop-up becomes a pop-under. It's in the right place, just renders underneath the thumbnail. Anyone? Thanks! HTML: <a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"> <img src="/images/comic_a3_thumb.jpg" height="300" width="212" b...
EDIT: Corrected the site header IE7 code in my original post. Have tried that and inserting X-UA-Compatible: IE=EmulateIE7 into the header without any success. Both of these steps are suggested by Microsoft here: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/06/10/introducing-ie-emulateie7.aspx I'm working on a Wordpress blog (URL: www.nxtbot...
Maybe this belongs in Server Fault instead, but some of you may have noticed this issue (particularly those developing on Mac, using a Windows machine to read the reference material). I posted the same question on a Microsoft forum and got one answer from someone who reproduced the problem, so it's not just my machine. No solution yet....
What are the major differences between IE7 and IE8 that a web tester should know? ...
IE8 can go into IE7 mode if it needs to. How does jQuery detect this? Specifically, what is the value of $.browser.version? ...
I am building an online article website. I have a php script called view_article.php that displays articles. The way the page knows what article to show is by using a $_GET variable in the URL. For example: /view_article.php?article_id=1 views article 1 /view_article.php?article_id=2 views article 2 Here's the catch. In IE8 whe...
How can we debug JavaScript with IE 8 ? The JavaScript debbuging with Visual Studio doesn't work after an update to IE 8. ...
Hi All, Trying to get Raphael JS to work with IE8. I am using the text() function to draw some text, which works perfectly in FF3 and Chrome, but not in IE8 (neither compat nor regular IE8). Other drawing stuff works well in IE8, so I'd guess I am missing some stupid minor detail on how to render text in Raphael. Oh and this is thei...
We have an ASP.NET application that uses Forms Auth. When users log in, a session ID cookie and a Forms Auth ticket (stored as a cookie) are generated. These are session cookies, not permanent cookies. It is intentional and desirable that when the browser closes, the user is effectively logged out. Once a user logs in, a new window is p...
Hello. I am developing webapp using jQuery. I have functionality that adds new row of 3 input fields. After creating these DOM elements I want to focus one of input fields. I am doing it with calling jQuery focus() function on necessary input field. Problem is that calling focus() works fine in IE6 and FF3.5, but not working in IE8. I...
We have not had time to fully test IE8 with our fairly extensive system. We are also reaching the point at which we can't prohibit the use of IE8. Our users are stubborn and not terribly sophisticated, so we don't feel that we can tell them to use the "Compatibility Mode" button. Instead, we will add the "IE=EmulateIE7" meta tag as a ...
I just developed a small website and tested it locally in IE8, there is no compatibility view button but under settings i find an option called "display intranet sites in compatibility view", this option is checked so i trust that all local files are rendered as IE7. I then upload the page to my server and everything works fine in IE8-m...
I have the following html which is display correctly in IE8. Below is the html and the css for grey_btn_75.
