jpg displaying differently in Firefox and IE

I've recently been working on a website that uses a mix of png and jpg files. I used a few jpgs because of size issues. Everything was working great, until I tested it in IE. In all versions of IE that I tested it in, the jpgs were lighter, and the colors didn't match with my pngs. Firefox: IE: As you can see, this is a bit of a ...

Setting name of DOM-created element fails in IE -- workaround?

I got bit hard by this today: function mk_input( name, val ) { var inp = document.createElement( 'input' ); inp.name = name; inp.value = val; inp.type = 'hidden'; return inp; } As it turns out, setting the name of an element created via createElement doesn't work in IE.

Using an adapted version of jquery.inplace.js for some page creation and use an OBDC connection in the background php file to query for content. Everything works, BUT...

absolutely positioned DIV not showing on IE

This is the simplified style for a blog hosted at wordpress.com. The code is validated CSS, yet IE won't show it correctly (that are not really news, are they?). In particular, the upper menu (#primary div) can't be seen in IE, rendering the blog pretty unusable. The easy solution would be to change div orders, but as the style is given...

Internet Explorer calling window.onbeforeunload on window.open and AJAX calls

Ok, I have spent a while on this problem and this is what I have gathered: If you make an AJAX call in IE7 and you have a window.onbeforeunload function specified, it calls the onbeforeunload function. If you try to open a new window with window.open WITHOUT disturbing the current window, the onbeforeunload gets called. Does anyone k...

I am including some related content on misc. web pages by adding a <script> tag near the end of the <body> tag, which then loads other javascript files.
