I noticed that on my Vista and XP machines, the automatic update is asking me to upgrade to IE 8 (from IE 7). News article also says people with IE 6 also get such suggestion. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10218185-56.html (i don't have IE 6 on any of my machine except an XP virtual machine version which might be different from th...
I am trying to get my jQuery functions to work on IE8. I am loading the library from google's servers (http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js). The $(function(){}) is never called. Instead, I get an error "Object expected". I opened the developer and ran "typeof $" in the console, and it came up as "undefined". I h...
I've seen this issue on a few random installs of IE8 and can't track it down for the life of me. If you open a new window by using the traditional <a href="fu" target="_blank">bar</a> - IE8 does absolutely nothing when its clicked on. I've dug around google for quite some time, to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this and perhaps...
Hi all, I am trying to make my pages work correctly with IE 8, I found out from here: http://www.masykur.web.id/post/How-to-Make-Our-Website-to-be-Ready-for-IE8.aspx that, my page has to be XHTML 1.0 compliant and atleast CSS 2.1 compliant, I made my page and CSS compliant with only few warnings, but still window.onload() is not firing....
How can I downgrade from IE8 to IE7 on Vista? I want to downgrade because my Flex Builder does not correctly close the browser when debugging Flex Applications. I'm sure this may be fixed in some future release of Flex Builder or IE8, but for now, I'd like to downgrade in order to debug more effeciently. ...
I’ve noticed that after making a change to a javascript file, clearing the cache, and reloading; one function in particular runs in about 90ms, the next time I load the page, it runs in 40ms, the next time I run it, it runs in 20ms … then never gets faster. It kind of looks like IE is compiling my javascript and caching that compiled ve...
For IE8 compatibility, we have added the "X-UA-Compatible -> IE=EmulateIE7" header to the IIS response headers list. For some reason these headers are being sent down for ASPX etc, but not for static files - JS/CSS. Does this header have any relevance for JS/CSS content which gets linked into HTML content? My guess is that as long as t...
For our web application, we are sending the X-UA-Compatible -> IE=EmulateIE7 for all the pages. However, the Compatibility View Button next to the Refresh button, is still displayed. 1) Is this expected behaviour? 2) Shouldn't the HTTP header force the browser to display in IE7 mode (with Quirks + IE7Standards enabled), and then now s...
if IE 8 is installed "by accident" (by the Windows Update program), now the machine has IE 8. Does that mean it is safest to run 2 Virtual PCs, one with IE 6, and one with IE 7 to test our web app? ...
There seem to be a limitation in the maximum number of clickable options in a select element. If there is a select element with 3200+ options. Items from 3125 to N doesn't fire change event when they are clicked. However, items can be selected with the keyboard. Any idea if this is a bug or a feature of IE8?. There is no such problem i...
Hey all, I know you are smarter than I and, therefore, should be able to help. For some reason my site freshwaterhobbyist.com looks terrible in IE8. All of my Div containers are misaligned and everything is pretty much helter skelter. Putting it in compat mode DOES fix the issue, but I would like IE8 users to see my site as intended wh...
I am programming asp.net in C# using vs2008. My app runs fine in ie7, but the drop down menu does not render in ie8. A white rectangle shows up instead of the menu items. I checked viewsource and the html for the menu looks good. Anyone have a fix? ...

Is it possible to set and check the Compatibility Mode in IE8 using VBScript? ...
When I call window.open() from JavaScript, I get the error dialog with the message "Line: xxx Error: No such interface supported" Google leads me to websites referring as far back as IE4 saying that I need to run regsrvr32 on several DLLs. Is there a better solution? EDIT: exact code requested <html><head> <script type="text/javascri...
I'm working with an xml node of the following structure: <CF> <T> <TX>title</TX> <em>15:2:</em> </T> <KW> <TX>SOMETHING ELSE</TX> </KW> <!-- OTHER TAGS, SOME OF WHICH HAVE A <TX> CHILD --> </CF> Things work more or less as I expect in firefox, but I'm getting weird behavior in IE8. For example, the following gives me a jque...

But, since I've installed IE 8, this plugin stop working 'cause it needs Excanvas to make IE draw the vectors, images etc. I've tried to download the newer version of Excanvas but it's not workint at all... thanks ...

IE8 says the error occurs on line 3 of the above code. Does anyone know why this is h...
I am a web applications developer stuck working on a Windows machine. Today I got an update notification asking me to upgrade Internet Explorer to version 8. I previously had IE 8 installed during the beta, but uninstalled it due to inconsistencies between it's 'compatibility mode' and a stand-alone version of IE 7 (very weird, albeit ...
I upgraded it with IE8 from IE7, but it was in a situation that "a list did not appear" even if I assigned mouse cursor to bill of fare control. It is each item of the list part of the bill of fare precisely. The square part of the whole list displays it. this is a code: <asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" BackColor="#B5C7DE" DynamicHo...
