I'm writing a bit of javascript and need to choose between SVG or VML (or both, or something else, it's a weird world). Whilst I know that for now that only IE supports VML, I'd much rather detect functionality than platform. SVG appears to have a few properties which you can go for: window.SVGAngle for example. Is this the best way to...
Hi, I seem to have a problem with SIFR3. I'm using version 436 and from all my testing it appears to be a problem associated with IE6 and IE7 as I cannot replicate the issue in Firefox, Chrome, Safari for Windows, or even IE8. The problem is occurring on my company's website and can be seen here: http://www.wyldeia.co.uk/blog.php When...
I have a page that uses a bit of jQuery and an effect called 'kwick' - in my sample page hosted at http://www.batsumaru.com/main.html it worked fine in all browsers, no problem. But when the actual code was produced at http://www.batsumaru.com Internet Explorer shows a script error (object does not support). I tried my best to debug but...
I want to use CruiseControl.net as a service and have it launch the Fitnesse test runner as a task to run a bunch of acceptance tests using the watin fixture which starts IE. Oh and I want to do this all on a virtual server. The above all works fine if I'm not running CC.Net as a service (ie. log in to the server via remote desktop and ...
I would like to access the Internet Explorer user settings for fonts, especially the font family, within a Browser Helper Object written in C#. I have looked into SHDocVw.WebBrowser and IHTMLDocument( to 5) but I don't see what I'm looking for or missing the property. The BHO is for Internet Explorer 7. Thank you very much! Edit: Ric...
I'm using Gears which works well in FF3 and Safari; IE6/7 both report a "google is undefined" error on page load, appearing in gears_init.js. A quick web search showed that Javascripts by Google are actually causing problems in IE7. Does anybody have an idea for a workaround? ...
We have built a XBAP application and have given the access keys (keyboard shortcuts) on labels/buttons. But IE seems to capture the access key first and hence the application does not get a chance to handle the access keys. Is there any workaround/solution so that XBAP application overrides the access key of IE? ...
Hi all, I'm coding an italian website where I need to validate some input data with an xhr call. My code for the ajax request's like this (I'm using JQuery 1.3.2): $.ajaxSetup({ type: "POST", timeout: 10000, contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=iso-8859-1" }); $.ajax({ url: "ajaxvalidat...
It's been suggested to me that I resign, as the company where I work is insisting that I code various functionality to work in a particular way which is only supported by Internet Explorer. I believe I'm doing the right thing by complying with the policy, even though I've raised objections about it. is this the right approach? This re...
Topic says it all. Some stuff aren't working on some of my clients' browsers, and we have narrowed it down to an IE-error, but it would be GREAT to have a way of easily comparing IE's settings. Anyone got an idea? ...
I am using Visual Studio 2008, when I start up an Asp.net project that starts IE6, I do not see any jscript file in the “Script Document” folder in the Solution. However if I start up IE by hand and point it at my website, then attach the Visual Studio 2008 debugger to IE, it does show the jscript files in the “Script Document”. Howe...
When controlling IE instance via MSHTML, how to suppress Open/Save dialogs for non-HTML content? I need to get data from another system and import it into our one. Due to budget constraints no development (e.g. WS) can be done on the other side for some time, so my only option for now is to do web scrapping. The remote site is ASP.NET-...
Visual Studio 2008 comes with nice javascript debugging features. But I have played a little with NetBeans debugger wich has installed an ugly Script Debugger from Microsoft to my IE... Normally IE should ask what do I want to use for debugging, but now I can't start debugging with Visual Studio, the Script Debugger is started automatic...
To target elements only in IE browsers i'll use IE6: * html #nav li ul { left: -39px!important; border: 1px solid red; } IE7: *+html #nav li ul { left: -39px!important; } Does anyone know how to target IE8? ...
We've got an application where users can enter "notes" into a rich edit control (Telerik's RedEditor, but that doesn't matter here). We had a user enter notes from w/in Safari that had a <span></span> in the middle of the note, and that span had a style on it specifying white-space:pre The HTML of the note was in the form of: <div> This...
Apologies if this question is a bit obscure, I've been banging my head against it for a while and I'm running out of ideas, so I hoped someone here might be able to help. I'm attempting to use TinyMCE inside of an embedded instance of IE. Weirdly, it's not processing enter/return keypresses. The return keypresses are definitely being re...
We're using .NET MVC, and we're trying to dynamically (through the controller) set the iFrame's URL. This worked fine on FireFox and Chrome, but not Ie. On Ie only the first case site lets the user log through correctly. The v10 and v9 sites don't. All sites use querystring params to log in. Their source looks like this (unsuccessfu...
Now that IE 8 is available: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx That's three flavors of IE to manage - 6, 7, 8 and QA code against and if you add in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc - 6 browsers. How are folks dealing with all of these browsers and enabling the most diversity amongst them with their cod...
This is partially a request for a workaround, and partially an attempt to get the word out that Internet Explorer's prototype implementation is still faulty. The following code does not work on Internet Explorer. XMLHttpRequest.prototype.old = XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open; var x = new XMLHttpRequest(); x.old("POST", "test", false); ...
I have a web page (made with JSF) where some links allow the user to get a PDF file. When the user clicks on such a link, a waiting popup (it is a modal panel) is displayed (because the generation of the PDF can be long), and once the file is created, IE displays the "File download" popup that proposes "Open", "Save" and "Cancel" option...
