Using WatiN, how can I access the head part of the page, specifically the meta tags?
WatIn provides great functionality for programmatic access to the displayed parts of a Web page. I want to access the head part of the page, spedifically the META tags.

Events work in Firefox/Chrome but fail in IE
I've just built an SVG map of New Zealand for use with the excellent javascript library Raphael, but unfortunately have stumbled upon what I can only imagine is a bug or syntactic variation in IE's javascript interpreter.

In IE 7 (haven't tested against other versions of IE), when I resize the browswer, the scrollbars in one of the iframes on my page become active (as I want). However the controls which are visible on the page (textboxes, divs with borders) overlap the (horizontal & vertical) scrollbars. It's as if they have a higher z-index that that o...
Silverlight 2 - Download file - IE Blocks file download
Hi All, I'm having a problem with IE only in my Silverlight application. Since Silverlight 2 doesn't include a mechanism for file downloads I was left to my own devices to come up with a solution.
