I am having some Internet Explorer 7 (and 8 beta) browser-specific problems with a link to an MP3. When I click the link in IE7, a new browser window opens and the quicktime plugin tries to play the file. Instead ofthe player, I see a faded Quicktime icon with a question mark in the center. There is nothing wrong with the file. The ...
Greetings! I'm calling a Web service from Javascript when a user clicks on a link. I need to get the coordinates where the user clicked so that I can display a DIV in an appropriate location. My client-side script looks like the following: var g_event; function DoWork(event, theId) { if (IsIE()) g_event = window.event; ...
In a world where IE didn't exist, what things would be easier, less hacky, less buggy and generally more used. What could the internet have been if all features were available cross browser? List one point per post. This is community wiki, so feel free to amend the question/answers for clarity. ...
I'm working with some code in C#.NET for an Internet Explorer extension that calls Javascript in the browser and gets the return value from the Javascript call. When the Javascript returns a primitive type or an array of primitive types, I get something that I can deal with, but when the Javascript returns an object, I get an opaque COM...
I'm trying to get an object element from my webpage using getElementById (ultimately so I can replace it with a dynamically created object element) but it is returning null in IE6. In the following code, the byId() function returns null in IE but an [object HTMLObjectElement] in Firefox 3 and the lengthOfByTagName() function returns 0 i...
I wrote a program using AutoIT to fetch information from a number of websites using Internet Explorer. AutoIT is capable of hiding the window so that it is not visible, however when I navigate to a new website on that hidden window I still get the IE navigation sounds (button click sound, etc.). How can I disable the sounds from playing...
I'm working on a web app that needs an ActiveX control to function. It installs just fine when the user has admin privileges, but fails to load otherwise. Is this by design and if so, is this documented somewhere? (preferably MSDN) ...
Has anyone seen this before - and can anything be done about it? This link is to a PNG screen shot of a list display in IE - if you look closely, the line height of each element is getting a little bigger for each successive item. The web site look is entirely controlled by CSS. Screen Shot It's not a huge deal, but it sure is weird....
I'm making a web application and I got the design for it from a sub-contracted design company. The design is pretty nice, I like it, but I've stumbled across one thing I'm not sure how to implement nicely. The thing is - they've redesigned the looks of buttons to match the page style. So now I have two images - button up and button down...
Am I correct to understand that the abort() method for XMLHttpRequest objects is only available starting from MSIE 7? If so, what equivalent option do I have for aborting an XMLHttpRequest object on timeout in MSIE 6? Using a JS framework to abstract the problem away is not an option at this time I'm afraid :(. I'm on a legacy system th...
I'm trying to generate synthetic Javascript events in an Internet Explorer extension, and I'm having trouble getting the fromElement property to stick. Here's an excerpt of my code: MsHtml.IHTMLDocument4 doc4 = ... // the document object Object o = null; MsHtml.IHTMLEventObj2 eObj = (MsHtml.IHTMLEventObj2)doc4.CreateEventObject(ref o);...
I'm developing a web application that is targeted at IE and during testing would like to log in as a number of different users and test their interactions with each other.

As one of my hobby projects, I'm developing an image effects jQuery plugin. It's supposed to allow you to apply a few basic effects to an image, and it does this by using the canvas HTML element (for browsers that support it), or Internet Explorer filters (for, well, Internet Explorer). A demo page is available at: http://sandbox.odynie...
In Firefox a Reload seems to reload everything while on IE the Refresh reloads just the HTML part of the current page. In IE you need to press Ctrl-F5 for a complete reload. Why this difference and is it somewhere an article explaining this difference more thoroughly? ...
I want to warn users of Internet Explorer 6 using my site, that IE6 has had serious compatibility issues with my site in the past. What is the best way to do this? Ideally, I want to have a message appear (not a new window, but a message box, if possible) that warns IE6 users of the issues and reccommends they update to either IE7, Fire...
I'm developing .jsp using eclipse and tomcat. My .jsp outputs html to pull in some javascript from a .js file. The jsp outputs the code which hooks up the function mapTool to the mousedown event. imfMapFunctions5101.js contains the mapTool(e) function. The changes I make to the .js file do not take affect when I run in firefox, alt...
I'm trying to debug some IE-only issues for a site I'm developing. I'm running WDE because there's no Firebug for IE. I want to see whether some changes fix a bug, but no matter what I do, IE never picks up my changes. I've tried all of the following: stopping and restarting the debug evnironment closing and re-opening WDE closing a...
I have an asp page that uses jQuery ajax to load member counts into a bunch of divs after a page is loaded. It works perfectly well in FireFox, and with clients that have a small number of groups. For the small number of clients that have many groups (500+), I am getting an error in IE. The ajax calls seem to be running synchronously,...
