Tab order issue in IE with initial Javascript select of field in form

I'm trying to achieve the following behaviour in html: user is presented with a form involving several text fields. The fields are populated with default values, but in many cases the user will wish to enter their own. When the page loads, the value in the first field is selected, so the user can either replace it by simply starting t...

Losing newlines in div content in IE 7

I'm trying to split the innerText of a div on the newlines in the source for it. This works fine with: $('div').text().split("\r\n|\r|\n") But this fails in IE 7, due to the newlines apparently being stripped out. jQuery 1.3.2 doesn't appear to be at fault since i also tried both: $('div')[0].innerText.split("\r\n|\r|\n") and $('d...

jQuery UI Dialog Issue With IE

I am using the new jQuery 1.3.2 and jQuery-ui-1.7 libraries along with the UI Dialog. I have a div tag with several form elements (textbox, checkbox, etc.) in it. Upon page load, jQuery shows the div as a dialog. This works absolutely fine in FF, but in IE, the height of the div is wrong. It is just showing the title bar a bit of t...

IE6 - Alphaimageloader Link problem

Has anyone found a solution to the IE6 & 7 problem which kills links nested inside an element with the "alphaimageloader" filter attached to it. I've tried various "position" tricks, to no avail. I'm using the Unit Interactive PNG Fix but from what I can gather, it's a problem with alphaimageloader which means it should affect every P...

IE6 Red Cross and Border around image

MAJOR UPDATE: I have a PNG fix working on the site. When I remove the PNG fix the red cross and border disapear. What's odd is that the problem only seems to do it with this particular image. There are other Alpha Blended PNG's on the same page that render fine. The image is not broken (you can see it) nor is it a link. But IE6 and 7 ...

Internet Explorer toDataURL() alternative?

So I need to save image data drawn on a <canvas> element. And there is the toDataURL() method which works in most modern browser. Except... you guessed it... Internet Explorer.

Why are these Divs not appearing when the page is created? Why do they appear on a resize? Is IE just hopelessly retarded?

I'm looking to do a refresh on some UI code and thought I would take a look at ideas on one of the Web's premier resources: A List Apart. I found this article on creating a layout with a fixed header, a left panel and a main panel using fixed positions. I implemented the idea in a MasterPage but am now having very odd results: when the...

How to stop IE from displaying URL in IFrame when changing the parent window

When using javascript:parent.location.href in an IFrame to change the parent window, IE briefly changes the IFrame content to list the url that the parent is changing to. Firefox, chrome, and opera just change the parent window. Is there a way to make IE skip showing the url in the IFrame and just change the parent? [edit] here is ...

Is IE the only web browser that requires <script></script> and hates <script/>?

How awful is that, after an hour of hunting and pecking, I figured I might as well contribute to the world the awful truth that the only reason your javascript failed to work in IE is because you thought you could pull a fast one on it and use your fancy xHTML shortcut. I've read the dtd and I can't really find any basis for IE being s...

VerticalSlider inside a Dialog: issue with IE

In general, I have no trouble using a dijit.form.VerticalSlider (with right decorations). Everything usually works fine in Firefox, Safari, IE6 or IE7. Things go pear-shaped in IE6 or IE7 when I try to put that VerticalSlider inside a dijit.Dialog. In that scenario, it still works great in FF and Safari, but in IE 6 and 7, there are a...
