I am aware that there are probably other questions regarding this topic. I guess that every web developer goes through this with IE. My problem: I am developing a web-based application fully based on Javascript. I am a Mac user. I was really happy that everything worked great in Safari, Firefox and Opera. I then asked a friend with W...
Reporting Services appears to believe it is being "helpful" by auto-scrolling the web page whenever a user expands a row group by clicking the plus sign. Short of hacking a Microsoft DLL, does anyone know a way to stop this behavior? Searching around the net, I've found this years-old thread discussing the same issue, but no answer. I...

I need to provide support for various scanners and printers to an Intranet web application. Basically the user needs to be able to take pictures using his webcam or camera, scan using his scanner and print through his printer. Because this is an Intranet application, compatibility is not an issue. I can ensure the user has all drivers in...
After loading an internal div (#book_table) via ajax, I want to resize the width of the body to accommodate the larger content. var new_width = parseInt($('#book_table').css('width'))+407; $('body').width(new_width); Works in FF and Safari, but fails in IE with "Invalid argument". In the unpacked jQuery 1.3.1, it's line 1049: elem[ n...
I'm currently building a web-app for a client who would like to utilise cookies to better shape their traffic, etc, etc, you know the drill. So at the end of last week I added a simple cookie write (basically set cookie="helloworld") and a cookie read with a counter to the app, which is effectively just a single page so every request to...
I want to create a web service for my clients so they can display their data on their own web sites. Since I will not know what platform each client is running, what would be the best solution to create a proxy to the WCF service that can be used by all browsers? Also, I am not sure how I should present the data. Let's assume my users do...
We have a javascript function that should "move" a page to a certain position using anchors. This function just does window.location.href = "#" + hashName. This works in FF, but not in IE. I tested this code using IE7 under Windows XP. I have tried using window.location.href, window.location.hash, window.location.replace and all these w...

How can I track down the cause of tha...
I have a problem where i am doing an ajax fetch of some table rows which i use to replace a table's body. The problem is that sometimes IE(6/7) decides to forget about all page styles after such an append. (that is to say, it reverts to using styles in css includes at the top of the page, but not styles defined on the page itself) I h...

I am using VBScript macros to utilize the InternetExplorer.Application COM automation object and I am struggling with reusing an existing instance of this object. From what I have read, I should be able to use the GetObject() method in vbscript to grab a hold of an existing instance of this object. When I execute the following code I g...
I am using IE 6 (corporate mandated version) on XP, as well as (primarily) Firefox 3. In these, I am making a DHTML table using the prototype.js library version 1.6.0.3. I have event handler javascript code to add a row to the table, which works fine under Firefox, but is completely ignored under Internet Explorer. I can walk through ...
I am writing Flash app (Flash Player 10, AS 3.0) that is full screen capable. I got that part sorted (allowFullscreen=true, stage.displayState).

I'm working on an ASP.NET AJAX app that has used the F12 key for a function for years (it's actually a hold over from the original DOS app). Customers have used this key for the sam function for nearly 15 years and we'd ...
