I have a plain html web page with an embedded flash object. Based on presence of a query string, I want to vary one of the paramters to the object, so I wrote something like this: <object ...> <param ...> <param ...> <script type="text/javascript"> if (window.location.search.indexOf("stuff")>=0) { document.wr...
I'm using a HTA to try to install a product using WindowsInstaller.Installer as an ActiveXObject. Using the same HTA model that has been used in the past, the attempt to install throws the error: "Msi API Error: InstallProduct,PackagePath,PropertyValues". I have tried this on both Windows Vista and Server 2003 with no success. Both hav...
I am trying to identify this bug. Is this a known issue already or is it totaly new? Is there a workaround (like a zoom:1 or position:relative that I can add to fix it?), idealy without modifying the html here but just adding to it. If you display the below html in IE8 you will see the text from the select (combo box), is displayed tw...
Is there any significant difference in behavior (HTML, CSS, Javascript, ...) with Internet Explorer 8 on different operating systems? In other words, will a web page work the same way across IE8+XP, IE8+Vista and IE8+Win7, or are there some significant differences? (I'm aware that installed plugins and fonts will have an impact, but th...
UPDATE: Turns out that Bart's answer is the correct one. 4*64+8*1 = 264px wide div to contain the other divs and their 1px borders gives exactly the effect I wanted. I modified my sample code to contain his answer. Thanks Bart. I'm struggling, again, with CSS. This sample shows 1,2,3,4 at the size I want them using a table. When I ...
I was trying to find a definitive article on the IE blog but found nothing. I'm building an internal website where the majority of users are using Safari 4 and Firefox 3. Some PC users are using IE8 so I'd like to know what I should watch out for when I'm using CSS3. ...
I've been pulling my hair out for the last few hours trying to wrestle with the IE8 developer toolbar while working with some styles not playing with IE7 mode properly... Coming over from Firebug the difference is like... well lets just say its better then nothing. What I'm wondering is, has there been any.. additions, patches, hacks, ...
I am using this jquery function that works fine in win/mac FF 3.5 and Safari, But not in IE 8, The text changes on each condition in it, but the hidden div, with css set to display none doesn't work. //Expander Function function expando(showText, hideText, content, selector) { var showText= showText; var hideText= hideText; ...
Hi, Feeling very proud of myself after creating a form with an AJAX submit, I test it in IE8 and get "Message: 'quantity' is undefined". I've read that it could be something to do with the fact that earlier versions of IE used ActiveX for AJAX requests, but I'm very new to JS and have no real understanding of the problem, let alone the ...
Suppose I want to have a link or a button that when user click it, the browser will close without any confirmation dialog box. It will need to work on Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 and Firefox. ...
I have this external JS file included in a web page. It is a absolute positioned footer toolbar with toggle view functionality. It works perfect in FF3. But IE8 gives error 'animatedcollapse' is undefiened and it is just hanging at the bottom of the page. Could you please figure out what is missing here? document.write("<link href=\"css...
I'm using C# to generate emails that are read using Lotus notes. The problem is we want the links to always open up in a new window in IE but they always open in the same window when I use "Lotus Notes - Basic Edition" (8.0.1) but when I use the regular lotus notes 8.0.1, they always open up in a new window. I tried looking around in the...
I am completely confused - I have a website that renders perfectly in IE8 when run through Cassini (in Visual Studio) but has several messed up elements (style/look) when deployed to localhost and viewed through the same browser (IE8). I have run Beyond Compare 3 on the html and CSS files and they are exactly the same. Are there any cir...
I'm working on a page that, when I load into IE8 and view the developers tools it tells me that page default is quirks mode. I've got a strict DTD: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> I even went ahead and put in the explicit standards switch, though I didn't think I'd need to...
After my Vista 64 was updated via Windows Update to include upgrades to .NET, graphics, etc. (basically, pieces of Windows 7, I believe) Internet Explorer 8 has been doing something very annoying on many web sites. It's very noticeable on some sites I've built. When the page is refreshed or another page - even from the same site - is l...
this code bellow works fine $('html').bind('mousewheel', function(event, delta) { window.parent.scrollBy(-120 * delta,0); return false; }); but this one doesn't, can anyone tell me why. I'd love to know. $(window.parent).bind('mousewheel', function(event, delta) { window.parent.scrollBy(-120 * de...
I'm running into a situation where IE8 appears to be dropping CSS selectors. I find this hard to believe, but I can't figure out what is happening. In a css file I have this declaration: #srp tr.objectPath.hover td { border-top:none; } However, when I inspect the file in IE8 through the built-in developer tools, the declaration i...
Hi All, I am not sure how to put it but as it sounds weird, but IE8 seems to be dropping sessions. I am talking about sessions in the server, HTTP Sessions. I know that a browser does not as such have to do anything with the HTTP session in the Application server, but it seems when I request the server again to fetch something I stored...
I'm using the JRC (jQuery Rounded Corners) plugin for rounded corners. It works in almost all browsers (including the crappy IE6) except IE8. Is there any workaround for the newest sh** from MS? Thanks ...
When you run: window.toString.call("") everything's fine in FF/CH but in IE8 you get a script error. Investigating a bit more it turned out, that window.toString.call is undefined in IE8? You can also run this one: window.toString instanceof Function; // false alert(window.toString); // function toString() { // [native code] // ...
