I have to write an applet that brings up a password dialog. The problem is that dialog is set to be always on top but when user clicks on IE window dialog gets hidden behind IE window nevertheless. And since dialog is modal and holds all IE threads IE pane does not refresh and dialog window is still painted on top of IE (but not refreshe...
In IE, the dropdown-list takes the same width as the dropbox (i hope i am making sense) whereas in Firefox the dropdown-list's width varies according to the content. This basically means that i have to make sure that the dropbox has to be wide enough to display the longest selection possible. this makes my page look very ugly :( Is th...
The problem is that I have several "h2" tags that have a display:inline attribute, and on Microsoft's wonderful browsers the space between them doesn't appear. Is there a workaround? I know there is a "non-breaking space" in HTML but I was wondering if one can make a space that may be a "breaking space". --- edit --- The website is ...
I thought I'd found the solution a while ago (see my blog): If you ever get the JavaScript (or should that be JScript) error "Can't execute code from a freed script" - try moving any meta tags in the head so that they're before your script tags. ...but based on one of the most recent blog comments, the fix I suggested may not work...
All front-end developers know the pain of coding for Firefox, then viewing our then mangled pages in IE6. IE6 is still widely used (it is, however disappearing slowly but surely... in a year and a half from the writing of this, it will be irrelevant as usage will be less than 1%) We usually used IE conditional comments to create separat...
I have a web application that is able to open an excel template, push data into a worksheet and send the file to a user. When the file is opened a VBA Macro will refresh a pivot table based on the data that was pushed into the template. The user receives the standard File Open / Save dialog. In Internet Explorer (version 6), if the u...
I am trying to run a SQL Server Reporting Services where the data for the report is on a SQL Server database that's on a different server. Integrated Authentication is turned on for both the Report Server and the report. I have confirmed that Kerberos delegation is working fine by using Internet Explorer to run the report from inside t...
I've just run into a display glitch in IE6 with the ExtJS framework. - Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. In the following example, the bbar for the panel is displayed 2ems narrower than the panel it is attached to (it's left aligned) in IE6, where as in Firefox it is displayed as the same width as the panel. Can an...
What is the definitive way to mimic the CSS property min-width in Internet Explorer 6? Is it better not to try? ...
I am trying to fix memory leaks in IE 7. Using Drip for investigations but it is not helping much when most dynamically generated DOM elements do not have unique ids. Tips? ...
Ran into this problem today, posting in case someone else has the same issue. var execBtn = document.createElement('input'); execBtn.setAttribute("type", "button"); execBtn.setAttribute("id", "execBtn"); execBtn.setAttribute("value", "Execute"); execBtn.setAttribute("onclick", "runCommand();"); Turns out to get IE to run an onclick on...
Can anyone recommend a book or a website that explains Internet Explorer Automation using VB.NET? I understand that mshtml and ShDocVw.dll can do this, but I need a resource that will explain it to me. I want to read/write values as well as click buttons. The only book I have come across so far is .Net Test Automation Recipes. Is this t...
My domain (let's call it www.foo.com) creates a cookie. On another site (let's say, www.myspace.com), my domain is loaded within an iFrame. On every browser (Firefox, Opera, Camino, Safari, etc...) except for Internet Explorer, I can access my own cookie. In IE, it doesn't give me access to the cookie from within the iFrame. Is there a...
We are running Selenium regression tests against our existing code base, and certain screens in our web app use pop-ups for intermediate steps. Currently we use the commands in the test: // force new window to open at this point - so we can select it later selenium().getEval("this.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().open('', 'enquiryPopup')"...
I am trying to make a div, that when you click it turns into an input box, and focuses it. I am using prototype to achieve this. This works in both Chrome and Firefox, but not in IE. IE refuses to focus the newly added input field, even if I set a 1 second timeout. Basically the code works like this: var viewElement = new Element("div"...
Hi...first off, I'm working on an app that's written such that some of your typical debugging tools can't be used (or at least I can't figure out how :). Javascript, html, etc are all "cooked" and encoded (I think; I'm a little fuzzy on how the process works) before being deployed, so I can't attach VS 2005 to ie, and firebug lite does...
I'm struggling with a problem with the Script.aculo.us Autocompleter control in IE (I've tried it in IE6 & 7). The suggestions fail to appear for the first character is entered into the text box after the page has been loaded. After that initial failure, the control works as it should. I've verified that the suggestions data is returned...
I've added a callback to an IHTMLElement instance but when the IDispatch::Invoke is called for the event, there are never any arguments (i.e. the pDispParams->cArgs and pDispParams->cNamedArgs are always 0). For example, I add a callback for an onmouseup event. From what I can tell, a callback for this event is supposed to receive a Mous...
I'm working on a page has an ol with nested p's, div's, and li's. Internet Explorer 6 and 7 both render the numbers for the ol tag after the p element at the end (at the very, very bottom of the li tag) rather than at the top of the outermost li as expected. I'm working on a PowerPC Mac and can't do any testing. Is there some simple CSS ...
Internet Explorer 8 breaks what must be every 3rd page I look at. The point of this early release was, I presume, to give website owners the chance to update their sites so it wouldn't be such a hassle for the final release. Has anyone actually done this? Is anyone even planning on doing this? I have yet to notice any of the big sites...
