I'm trying to wrap my head around creating a toolbar (a tool band in a rebar) in MFC for Internet Explorer using COM. Is it possible to get the address of the currently viewed page (i.e., http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask in my case :-) ) from the toolbar? If so, what should I look in to? Thanks! ...
I hope someone might be able to help me here. I've tried to simplify my example as best I can. I have an absolutely positioned DIV, which for this example I've made fill the browser window. This div has the overflow:auto attribute to provide scroll bars when the content is too big for the DIV to display. Within the DIV I have a table t...
I have a site, from which you can download an HTML file. This HTML file contains a form with hidden fields, which is right away posted back to the site using JavaScript. This is a way of allowing users to download to their own machine data that they edit on the site. On some machines, you get an IE "yellow bar" when trying to open the f...
What are the best approaches / tools to test browser extensions? In my case I work on an IE Browser Helper Object (C#) which has a small UI of its own and a good deal of database interaction. Up till now we've used automated unit tests for testing our model/business objects but manual testing for the UI/scenario testing. I'm thinking of...

I have implemented a simple file upload-download mechanism. When a user clicks a file name, the file is downloaded with these HTTP headers: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:00:39 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.doc; Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Length: 10754 I...

I have written a watir script that downloads files. One of the files it downloads has a .dcf extension. Months ago, on my machine, I changed a setting somewhere so that .dcf files prompt for download ("Do you want to open or save this file?") instead of opening in the browser. This is the behavior that I desire. I am using XP Pro/IE7. ...
What's a good way for an IE hosted .net user control (e.g., < object classid="myctrl.dll#init">) to pull down an unmanaged dll for it to use? For Click-once, this is easy with a manifest, but ie hosted controls don't get installed in the click-once app cache and instead run out of the download cache. Copy the dll there? Or into the t...
I tried to set innerHTML on an element in firefox and it worked fine, tried it in IE and got unexpected errors with no obvious reason why. For example if you try and set the innerHTML of a table to " hi from stu " it will fail, because the table must be followed by a sequence. ...
I'm using CSS Filters to modify images on the fly within the browser. These work perfectly in Internet Explorer, but aren't supported in Firefox. Does anyone know what the CSS Filter equivalent for these is for Firefox? An answer that would work cross browser (Safari, WebKit, Firefox, etc.) would be preferred. <style type="text/css"> ...

As far as I can tell there's no simple way of retrieving a character offset from a TextRange object in Internet Explorer. The W3C Range object has a node, and the offset into the text within that node. IE seems to just have pixel offsets. There are methods to create, extend and compare ranges, so it would be possible to write an algorith...
When IE8 is released, will the following code work to add a conditional stylesheet? <!--[if IE 8]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie-8.0.css" /> <![endif]--> I've read conflicting reports as to whether this works with the beta. I'm hoping someone can share their experience. Thanks. ...
When an Event is triggered by a user in IE, it is set to the window.event object. The only way to see what triggered the event is by accessing the window.event object (as far as I know) This causes a problem in ASP.NET validators if an event is triggered programmatically, like when triggering an event through jQuery. In this case, the w...

I'm trying to set the width and height of an element with javascript to cover the entire browser viewport, and I'm successful using document.body.clientHeight but in IE6 it seems that I always get horizontal and vertical scrollbars because the element must be slightly too big. Now, I really don't want to use browser specific logic and ...
I have a container div that holds two internal divs; both should take 100% width and 100% height within the container. I set both internal divs to 100% height. That works fine in Firefox, however in IE the divs do not stretch to 100% height but only the height of the text inside them. The following is a simplified version of my style s...
