jQuery is adding a strange attribute to nodes

I'm using IE8 and jQuery 1.4.2. My web page is no longer rendering correctly, and a quick look in the debugger at the HTML shows that every element now has a new attribute called "jQuery1279875396122", whose value is a small integer, apparently unique to each node. Looking at the jQuery source I can see that the long number comes from (...

Adding a custom method to the document object is 'undefined' in IE8

asp.net mvc - MicrosoftMvcAjax.js throws javascript error when updating table elements in IE8

In IE8 or anything older, innerHTML is not supported on certain elements like TR & TD. Unfortunately, the MicrosoftMvcAjax.js file included in the MVC 2 project uses innerHTML for the Ajax update method within the Ajax.BeginForm or Ajax.ActionLink. To fix that, look into Line 18 of MicrosoftMvcAjax.js and replaced it with this: Sys.Mvc...

GWT Application, URL conversion and Cache

Hi, I have an application which I'm developing in GWT. I've noticed that sometimes (I'm not sure it happens all the time) after compiling, and generating a new version, if I will try to access my program's URL from IE8 it will result in a 404 in my eclipse log. I think this is because the browser caches the actual 1232dfsfda.html URL and...

Ajax requests in a loop- refresh div after each request not working in IE8

Hi, I have a loop in which I'm making Ajax xmlhttp requests. This occurs within a function triggered by a window.onload event.

Problem with Facebook XFBML and IE8 asynchronous loading

I'm trying to implement an XFBML comment box on a page. It works in FF and Chrome, but only sporadically in IE8.

IE8 and Firefox CSS selector difference?

I am getting really weird behavior, it seems like IE8 is not handling the child selector in CSS correctly. Consider the following: <html> <head> <style> ul>li {font-style: italic} </style> </head> <body> <ul> <li>Hello </li> </ul> </body> </html> This displays Hello in italics on FF, but not on IE8. If you change the...

How do I get rid of the IE8 ssl warning message "Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?” with ScriptManager?

A login page on our asp.net website uses https – while almost all of our other pages do not. On this login page, IE8 users receive the “Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?” message. Many users press “Yes” out of habit which breaks our login page. I know the problem stems from the WebResource.axd a...
