ASP.NET event wiring does not work correctly if the page has many controls in IE8 native mode.

Well, it looks like IE8 in native mode doesn't like ASP.NET event wiring. I have few heavy pages developed in ASP.NET 2.0. By heavy I mean having lots of server controls and callback controls. The final actions are Apply and Cancel but user sets data of controls through Callback calls. I have seen that when Apply button is clicked it ca...

How can I go about automating the testing of the migration of local web apps from IE6 to IE8?

I have been researching this a wee bit and it seems to boil down to: 'Eyeball Mark 1' The best tip seems to be the use of SuperPreview from Microsoft's Expression team. If anyone has automated a way to go about this I would love to hear about it. Also, I believe that SuperPreview requires a work around for a password protected app to...

Mouseover/hover effect slow on IE8

I have noticed a weird performance thing in IE8 when using mouseover events on a table with many rows (100 in this example). I have tried a lot of different approaches but I can't seem to find any way to get it as fast as I like/need. If I switch classes on each event the performance goes down in all IE versions, and If I use direct man...

I am concerned that the default caching behaviour for IE7 and IE8 set for our organisation, of 'Automatic' will scupper my application.

Prevent jumpy fieldset when hovering in IE8

I have a fieldset inside of a fieldset. Each type of fieldset changes color when hovered over. Works great in Firefox, but in IE8 and IE8 in IE7 compat mode, when I hover over the child fieldset, it jumps (it looks like some padding gets removed, but that's not what my css says). Can someone help me figure out how to prevent the jumpy...

Why does my COMET control throw a javascript error when IE8 closes?

I've written a COMET/Reverse Ajax table control in ASP.NET. The javascript part uses jQuery (1.3.2). It seems to be working OK, apart from when closing the browser in IE (8). In this case it throws a "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method". It's only when IE is closed that I get the error. Firefo...

On IE 8 this results in the annoying but true "This page contains both secure and non secure items" warning. I found other threads on stackoverflow and vague suggestions on other sites that I could have my Twitter ba...

Scripts fail when jQuery.js isn't cached. When cached, scripts run fine.

I have jQuery UI Tabs which load their content via AJAX. About once every 15 times when the entire page is loaded (not just XHR), things fail and I don't see the proper content in the tab. Fiddler showed me that when things fail I also see that jQuery.js and jQuery-ui.js are both sent to the browser in full (~100kB). Normally, a page ...
