Anyone know of any good references for building applications for IE 8? I found this http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430228539 (but not yet released) for example: I would like to build a simple toolbar app that records visited websites. That possible? Or are they other suggestions on how to build this type of application? ...
I've just come across a problem relating to IE that there seems to be virtually no documentation about on the 'Net - only a few people asking similar questions. When I use jQuery (1.4.2) to send a POST request to my server (to which the server responds by sending JSON data), I occasionally get XHR 408 errors (meaning that the server tim...

I have some perfectly mundane code that puts 4 check-boxes in a 2x2 table. In Internet Explorer (but not in Firefox,Chrome,Opera, or Safari) the the two rightmost check-boxes will not toggle on and off. Well, they do, rarely, but only in a random haphazard manner. Please note that I have no JavaScript triggers associated with these ch...
Why is it that my Javascript widget does not work properly on IE but fine on Firefox? Moreover, Firebug doesn't produce any errors. What can I do to make sure my Javascript widget is operational in IE? Are there any tools to help me? ...
I have a website that's using a slightly modified version of Superfish that works fine in FF and Safari. When I try it in IE 8, it doesn't work. However, when I use an IE plugin called "Developer Tools", enable stop on error, start debugging and refresh the page, the app works. There are a couple of errors that come up when I load the...
.thumbnail:hover { background-color: transparent; z-index: 1; } I have specified this style to make an image overlap another image on mouse hover. It works perfectly in all other browsers except in IE8. I tried specifying higher value for z-index but it did not work out! This is the complete styles associated with the thumbn...
I've got a piece of JavaScript that inserts/removes an iframe from the DOM. Everything is dandy in Chrome and FireFox but the iframe is not displayed in IE. The code below is the creation and insertion. When inspecting with a Developer tools I can see that the iframe is part of the DOM exactly as I expected it to be. Any suggestion on wh...
On my web page, I have a drop down list ( with ); I have provided width to it. The contents of the list are populated dynamically hence I can't provide a maximum size. If I don't specify the size then the list is displayed properly but then the alignment of neighboring components gets disturbed as list takes width of the widest option in...

Can someone help me understand a way of adding rounded corners top left and top right of the current page link below? I have used jQuery corners but this doesnt work in IE very well... I was looking to use PNG. The space between the corners should be white. The PNG would be transparent letting whatever image was below to show through....
This is odd, and I hope I explain it correctly. When I debug locally with VS2008, IE8 looks like FF and Chrome (minus the obvious). It works well, and I'm happy. When I use IE8 with our IIS6 box (Win2003) or Cassini, buttons aren't aligned, javascript errors occur, and some other CSS anomolies occur: Table cells missing colored bor...
Note that this relates to focus and blur events on a window, not on form fields. I'm loading a document in a pop-up window, and it includes the following code: <script type="text/javascript"> window.onblur = function(){ document.title="BLURRED"; } window.onfocus= function(){ document.title="FOCUSED"; } </script> These functions are t...
I have autocomplete, that simply calls $.ajax. And when its getting result, it tries to evaluate with globalEval function. That making <script> {"success": true} </script> Than IE says "Expected ;". Near I have another ajax call that is working good and without globalEval executing. What can cause this? ...
EDIT 2 It appears that moving the object tag in the Dom is the cause of the problem. I added an iframe directly to the page and it works fine without any problems. However, when I move that iFrame into a modal dialogue box (http://www.ericmmartin.com/projects/simplemodal/) the PDF disappears (the object tag no longer renders correctly...
I have a dropdown that shows countries. When the user selects United States or Canada, then another drop drop will appear. Everything works with Firefox, but not with Internet Explorer. $(document).ready(function() { $('.CountriesDropDown').change(changeAddressOptions); // alert('loaded'); // call change event in case value w...
I'm about to write a control that has this defect. Why exactly is this bad? Your ActiveX control has a common defect that single-threaded apartment (STA) ActiveX & COM objects must avoid: STA COM objects cannot perform blocking operations on the STA thread, unless the COM object also pumps Windows messages. Therefore, ...
I use chrome and firefox. I love chrome and firefox. I just thought to check how my website looks in IE8 and the results are fucking horrific. I can't navigate, it doesn't render rotations properly and the whole thing is a clusterfuck. Does anyone have any ideas? My only thought at the moment is to do a complete redesign that will accom...
We've noticed that the jqGrid sort/pagination performance is noticeably slower in IE vs FFox and Chrome. Is this just 'how it is' or are there any perf improvements that can be applied? ...

We would like to track users homepage if it's still set to company's web site. Questions: I can set it via registry but we also want to disable for user to change it (disabling the ie ho...
