I use Visual Studio 2008 primarily for web development, and there's one annoying behaviour which seems to have occurred ever since I upgraded to IE8 on my work PC: When I set a start page for a web site or web application project, and then either click the "Start Without Debugging" icon in the toolbar or use the keyboard shortcut CTRL-F...
Hi, I'got a C++ app (similar to this one) that downloads files using URLDownloadToFile method (defined in urlmon.dll). Until IE8, it was possible to abort a download by returning E_ABORT in the progress callback. On a system on which IE8 has been installed, doing so crashes the program, with an error report generated. Do anyone know ...
Hello All, I have installed MOSS 2007 on Windows Server 2008. I am facing a strange problem: I am unable to logon to SharePoint using IE 8, but am able to using Firefox.

Whenever I call FileUpload.Set, IE8 will open up the file browser window and just sit there without typing any text. This is on Windows XP and it used to work just fine until I upgraded from Ie7 to IE8. Anyone else run into this? ...
For IE7, it's possible to add filter: none; to the body css to disable cleartype on fonts through CSS. I don't like the fuzzy look it gives, and it isn't really consistent across browsers. IE; Firefox and IE6 show it differently. IE8 however, seems to ignore the css option, even when forcing the browser into IE7 compatibility mode u...
I have an oldish asp.net app. That is behaving differently in IE8 then IE7, even in IE7 compatiblity mode. The app contains several User Controls that make use of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel, it seems to me that IE8(inc 7 mode) render the panel as tables, but in IE7 they are rendered as divs. Seems to me that ASP.Net is not ide...
I have a home-grown HTTPS server that serves up simple files (it's embedded within my app). It works great -- been using it forever. Recently added SSL support -- Chrome, FireFox and IE all like it and load pages just fine. The problem I find is when I try to load a PDF file over the HTTPS connection. For some reason, the PDF never d...
I have my own SSL for development purposes. Normally when IE would give you the WARNING you could simply install the certificate, resart IE and go back to the server without warning. In IE8 I cannot avoid the warning. I have installed the certificate into every single store without success using both the MMC and cert manager in IE8. WHAT...
Since this function is implemented in IE8, I wanted to see exactly what I could do with it, but I'm having trouble getting it to work anywhere other than the :before and :after css pseudo-elements. Should the following be allowed? span[color] { color: attr(color); } I tried it in Google Chrome too, but it didn't work. Also, what abo...
I am using jquery to locate all the checkboxes in a table column that are checked. For that purpose I am using the following code: $("input[type=checkbox][checked]").each(function() { //Do Stuff }); This works fine in Firefox 3 but does not work in IE8 or Safari. Can anyone explain why and/or provide a...
I have an issue that arises in IE8, but doesn’t occur in IE7 or in IE8 compatibility mode. In IE8 I can only raise a mouse click event when the mouse is over text in a table cell. If the mouse is over a blank area in the same cell, the mouse click event isn’t raised. The tables are dynamically generated. The browser is running in quirks ...
I have a very simple silverlight xaml page displays textbox and a button. When i run my application on IE6 it works fine. But for IE7 IE8 and FF3 - it does not display any content. The page is rendering blank. <div style="height: 100%; width:100%;"> <asp:Silverlight ID="Xaml1" runat="server" Source="~/ClientBin/test.xap" MinimumVersio...
I have some CSS that doesn't behave correctly with IE8. It works fine with FF3, but in IE8 there are white boxes in between the list items and the whole thing is buggy. here is the css in question #golist { width:900px; margin-top:20px; margin-right:auto; margin-left:auto; } #listing { list-style:none; margin:0; p...
We have recently started using WMD editor and found that in IE 8, it just goes on increasing the scroll size of the page by simply increasing the size of the textarea endlessly. The only option left is to close the browser after that causing lot of frustration. you can check wmd-editor demo here. does anybody know of any solution to this...
This video explains the problem best: http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cQ1Oc9f1L Basically the directory is located here: http://www.ipalaces.org/uploaderprogress/grrrrrr.html Is the problem piece using YUI.js as the uploading script. The YUI updates the table's row with new information on every event. So I have it update it wi...
In the last few days we have noticed that IE8 during page load occasionally shows momentarily a blank (white) page. It does not happen every single time. I would estimate about 10%. This issue has been brought to our attention by visitors on a site with several millions pages a day, which suggests that it has really appeared very recentl...
I have a .mov file embedded in a web page, using nested object and embed tags. It displays fine in Firefox & Chrome, but just displays a Quicktime icon with a question mark over it in IE6-8. Before it displays the icon, it runs the quicktime activex control and flashes the beginning of the movie up. Any ideas on what could be the issu...
I need recommendations on a good IE standalone for IE6, IE7 and IE8. I tried using Tredosoft's IE7 and MultiIE for IE6 but select elements were being blocked as pop-ups, even when the pop-up blocker was turned off, in all IE browsers (6,7,8). I also tried the Internet Explorer Collection from Edskes but IE6 and IE7 refuse to let me typ...
Not sure if this should go here (maybe it should be at server fault...) but I'm having issues with IE8. Most of the time I can only have one active window. If I open a new window or another tab the "new" item (window or tab) remains at the "waiting for http://..." and never gets anywhere. The original window operates perfectly fine. ...
IE8 will sometimes prevent links from spawning if they have target=_blank set. This problem appears to be limited to corrupt installs of IE, such as when installing several versions side-by-side. I edited this question once I found the answer, and hopefully this will save someone else some time. The answer is in the comments of the fi...
