I am working on a site with two absolutely positioned divs... the logo and the menu (navbar) IE is burying them both, even after multiple tries of z-index manipulation. Why can't IE work as well as Firefox or even Opera for God's sake? UPDATE....... I forgot to mention that these divs are positioned over a flash movie. How could I pos...
I've recently been made aware that my site is crashing in IE7. I tested it on a bunch of machines myself, but of course it always runs perfectly. My brother just showed me IE7 on his computer, and it definitely crashes. I've got 'debugbar' running, and it shows some errors in the HTMLCheck, and is warning that fb:login-button is not r...
I'm needing to use a different stylesheet for IE, and I'm wondering about which stylesheet will take control. For example, I'll use this code in the <head>: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/style.css" /> <!--[if IE]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/ie.css" /><![endif]--> Then will I need to use !...
Hello, I'm currently developing a Java-based web application on my MacBook. Most of my testing is on Firefox and Safari, but some clients have expressed interest in using the app on Internet Explorer with WinXP and Vista. I know I'll have some serious client-side / Ajax debugging, adjustements to do. I do have a Fusion guest with WinXP...
Good day :) I am using jQuery's animate() on both opacity and height, on a fixed-size div. It all works fine and dandy in firefox, but in IE8 (with and without compatibility-mode, so I am assuming it will have the same behavior in IE6 and IE7), the animation does show, but when the div height reaches 0%, the div's height adjusts to the...
Hi guys I'm trying to add a css footer but can't it to work right. For now I'm tweaking it like crazy and if it appears fine in firefox it gets all messed up in Internet Explorer 7 ahd sometimes is halfway up teh page :(.

Hi all, I'm experiencing difficulties getting my iframe to display correctly in IE6 & IE7. www.e-g-t.nl I think IE has the height of the iframe stretched to far beyond the 400px height I set it to be, and the content is vertically centered. I'm not an expert at css or html for that matter and don't seem to get it right. In IE8 though, ...
IE 6 and 7 didn't follow many of the w3 standards, like event handling, making it necessary to write code for the standards compliant browsers, and then write MORE code for Internet Explorer. Will IE 8 take us out of this dark age and stabilize web-development? Will it be easier to write one set of code that all browsers will display the...
Like every web developer, I usually curse the creators of IE6 with foul and untimely deaths at least once a week. Yet my company requires me to keep supporting that most-hated of browsers. My problem today has been wanting to first use a wildcard in my CSS and then trying to use the "inherit" property instead. Neither of which are suppo...

I have a couple of CSS selectors like this: table.SearchCustomerResults > thead > tr > th[sortOrder="0"] {} table.SearchCustomerResults > thead > tr > th[sortOrder="1"] {} then I set the sortOrder extension attribute for each of the cells in JavaScript. However, the changed style is not visible in the browser (IE7, perhaps other) unti...
Hello, since a few days I'm trying to figure out if we can use sIFR (2.0.7) for our shop. After the first testpages were running fine, I tried to implement it to our menu-template-file of the xcart-shop-system. I've written the needed blocks in {literal} parts for smarty and the new menu is looking fine in FireFox 3. Unfortunately our t...
Has anyone come across the problem where Internet Explorer won't print a page properly unless I go through print preview? If I just click print directly, or the print button on the page, it prints two pages, the first with just the heading on it, and the second one blank. If I go through Print Preview, it shows the correct format of the...
I have a fairly simple CRUD web application (C#/ASP.NET) that runs fine in Firefox, IE7, and Chrome. (I'm accessing and testing the application on our development server.) When I connect to the dev site via a Pocket PC device and go through the exact same steps, I get an ODBC error. Unfortunately, when I step through the code (once agai...
When I test my Silverlight 2 app in Firefox, when Silverlight has focus, I have no problem receiving every key press via the Page.KeyDown event. When I test it in Internet Explorer 7, I can only get keyboard events that the browser doesn't already handle. HOWEVER, I can override those same keyboard events in javascript. For instance, C...
What would be the preferred way of hiding an element before the page is rendered? $(document).ready() works just fine for firefox, but sometimes (connection to the server seems to be a major issue in this) it lags a little behind in internet explorer; the element is shown, and hidden shortly after wards. That is: the page is rendered be...
I am using a simple list as navigation which brings up the appropriate background image depending on the state of the link normal, hover or current. In IE6 the current or actual page is being ignored, not displaying the different image and leaving the link active. The code is - <div id="mainNav"> <ul> <li><a href="../index.html">H...
Basically speaking, FF3 and IE8 render it this way, which is what I want: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3899/cornersfirefox.jpg However, IE7 and IE8 render it like this: http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4526/cornersie.jpg I use this solution for rounded corners without images: http://www.editsite.net/blog/rounded_corners.html An...
I'm having issues with internet Explorer. I have a link which duplicates a file upload element on a form. The code which duplicates also appends a hyperlink to the duplicated upload element which is supposed to remove the duplicated element a simple remove this link. The issue is that this code runs fine in firefox but it doesn't run at...
I'm showing images from other websites as thumbnails. To do this I display them in a smaller img tag so the browser does the size decrease. The problem is that the quality of these images (which I have no control of) is diminished. Also they look much better in FF and Safari than in IE. Is there a way to make these images look better w...
