IE is ignoring Z-Index on positioned elements

IE yet again is proving to be the bane of my existence. The top of a site I'm working on has a horizontal menu, an item of which triggers a pure-CSS menu that is positioned absolute within the parent menu DIV (positioned relative). This places the menu perfectly in both IE and the W3C compliant browsers. The problem arises when I have m...

CSS min-width in IE6, 7, and 8

I found many answers to this question on Google, but none of them seem to work for all browsers. I am looking for a CSS-only way to get min-width working on Firefox, IE6, IE7, and IE8. It is well-known that IE does not support min-width, so several hacks are out there to try to emulate the behavior of min-width. Unfortunately, I have no...

Can JavaScript remove all toolbars, address line and set size of the window?

I would like to run a browser (Internet Explorer) from a command prompt using a specific web address. As a result of that I would like to see a simple IE window without toolbars and address line.

ASP.Net Webforms w/ AJAX Slow Rendering

I have a Webforms, AJAX-enabled web page which, when rendering large amounts of data, is extremely slow to load in IE (we're married to IE - no other browser options). In an attempt to determine the source of the slowness, I viewed the HTML source (about 2.5 MB) and copied all of it (except for the Ajax JavaScript calls) to a blank .htm...

This is the page I'm working on... http://schnell.dreamhosters.com/folio/earthquake.html Its purpose is explained via the instructions on the left.

How many IE6 users are real users?

I'm supporting an existing website and IE6 suppport seems to come up given the amount of rich AJAX and other technology sprinkled into the solution.

How to "enable" HTML5 elements in IE that were inserted by AJAX call?
