C#: Best way to inject CSS into MSHTML instance?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to inject some CSS that accompanies some other HTML into a C# managed WebBrowser control. I am trying to do this via the underlying MSHTML (DomDocument property) control, as this code is serving as a prototype of sorts for a full IE8 BHO. The problem is, while I can inject HTML (via mydomdocument.body.insertAdj...

Can I get away with testing sites using IE8 with IE7 compatibility on?

As a developer, can I safely upgrade to IE8 and use its IE7 compatibility mode to test how sites look in IE7? For IE6, I have a virtual machine and it is quite inconvenient.

silverlight usercontrol height and compatibiity mode

Using silverlight I have always removed the Height and Width from the UserControl so that the user control would fill the viewport, no more and no less. Today I began testing with IE8 and observed that such is no longer the case, unless I view the page in compatibility mode. I'm using the asp:silverlight server control to host the silv...

Internet Explorer 8 builds 18702 and 8702IC??

I'm having an issue with a strange version of IE8 which I have not come across until now. The version causing all the trouble with me is 8.0.6001.8702IC? Has anyone come across this version yet?

Will Internet Explorer 8 solve many of the browser incompatibility issues?

IE 6 and 7 didn't follow many of the w3 standards, like event handling, making it necessary to write code for the standards compliant browsers, and then write MORE code for Internet Explorer. Will IE 8 take us out of this dark age and stabilize web-development? Will it be easier to write one set of code that all browsers will display the...

Using the IE8 'Developer Tools' to debug earlier IE versions

Hi guys and gals I am less than satisfied in my HTML/CSS/JS debugging of pages with IE6 and 7 specific bugs. I am aware that IE8 has a Firebug clone, called 'Developer Tools' installed. Is it possible to have IE8 installed (maybe on a VM, i don't mind), set it to compatibility mode (is there one for IE6?), then perform JS debugging a...

Can someone verify that this is an IE8 memory leak?

The leak is pretty easy to create. Place the HTML below alongside a list of large images named "TestImage0.jpg", "TestImage1.jpg",..."TestImage9.jpg".
