Access denied embedding swf object in IE

I am trying to currently embed a media player into certain web content and seem to be having strange problems in IE (all versions tested so far 6->8). Here is a page with the player embedded in it. You can view it in FF or a webkit browser and it should work fine. In IE the flash part of it fails to load without error. (It errors when y...

Internet Explorer and client certificate in an IFRAME

I'm having a problem with a site that uses client side certificates for authentication. The site contains an iframe which loads a page hosted on a different server. This page also uses the client certificate. This works perfectly, except that a hiccup in the "inner page" webserver sometimes causes it to lose the authenticated state of t...

How to make IE remember login details?

For some odd reason IE no longer will remember previously typed in usernames/passwords on our login screen. IE8 will remember the username only and then the password still needs to be typed in, but IE6 and IE7 don't fill in either. And of course it works fine in Firefox/Chrome/Safari/etc. (And yes, I've already checked my preferences ...

Slow page unload in IE

I am developing a site which creates many table rows dynamically. The total amount of rows right now is 187. Everything works fine when creating the rows, but in IE when I leave the page, there is a large amount of lag. I do not know if this is some how related to the heavy DOM manipulation I am doing in the page? I do not create any fun...

Internet Explorer 8 EmulateIE7 Mode not working

I've set up IIS6 to send the following headers Custom Header Name: X-UA-Compatible Custom Header Value: IE=EmulateIE7 that supposed to force IE 8 into IE 7 Compatibility mode. You can read more about it on MSDN . I have noticed by looking in the Developer toolbar that if I have a DTD defined the document mode correctly gets set to ...

Does Internet Explorer remove the <object> element from DOM?

I have markup in my page that includes the tag: <body> <object codebase="blah" codetype="text/blah"> <param name="name" value="value"/> <div>Some Markup</div> </object> </body> The idea is for browsers to display the content of the <div> by default, but if a special JS library is present, it will find all the elements an...

Launch IE from a C++ program

I have a program written in C++ which does some computer diagnostics. Before the program exits, I need it to launch Internet Explorer and navigate to a specific URL. How do I do that from C++? Thanks. ...

IE 7, tabs and HTTP sessions

In our Java web application we use HTTP sessiom for log in. Pretty standard stuff I think. Lately we got a report from a customer which says that the log in often disapears causing the user to log in againg (and sometimes looses any work). Acording to the customers this never happens when using OS X - Firefox 3 The problem occours when...

Multiple tabs in IE with one instance of the toolbar

I have developed a toolbar for Internet Explorer in C# to send and receive URLs from an external application. It ran great on previous versions of IE, but I wanted to take advantage of tabbed browsing in the new versions, but I've run into a snag there. It seems in IE, each tab counts a separate instance, and therefore a separate instanc...

Is it worth testing the same version of IE on different versions of Windows?

I'm putting together some virtual machines to test different browsers and I'm wondering if there is any compelling reason to be able to test the same version of IE on different versions of Windows. (i.e. IE8 on XP and Vista) I'm mostly talking about testing CSS to make sure it "looks right" across browsers, but if there were major differ...

How to force Images to be loaded all the time, ASP.NET

I am serving a .aspx that contains Images. I haven't figured out yet how to force ie7(6) to fetch the images all the time (e.g redirects). So far, I've added the following tags on my .aspx page: <META Http-Equiv="Cache-Control" Content="no-cache"> <META Http-Equiv="Pragma" Content="no-cache"> <META Http-Equiv="Expires" Content="0"> ...

Is there a list of asp.net server controls that are IE-specific?

Are there any asp.net server controls that only work with Internet Explorer. I am looking for a list so that I can know what to avoid putting into my webforms application. I am looking for something like a list of controls and those that downlevel firefox and safari for example. I understand that the client side validation javascript is...

IE needs 2 textboxes to submit a button?

I've got this weird problem, and I'm not sure whether ASP.NET or IE 7 is to blame... The idea is this: When I have just one textbox and one (submit) button on my form, then pressing ENTER while inside the textbox will just POST the textbox'es value. The button does not get submitted and does not trigger the Click even server-side. When...

Windows 7 European Edition Development Implications

Apparently in Europe, Microsoft plan to ship Windows 7 without IE8 preinstalled. Many of the commercial apps I have been a developer on have made use of IE in some way or other, so I am concerned about whether we need to now install IE8 as part of our application installs. Does this mean that applications making use of... The WindowsF...

Previous Versions/Builds of Internet Explorer

We write Web Applications. I have a client who is reporting an issue that seems that it may be related to a specific version of IE6. IE6.0.2900.2180 to be precise. Does anyone know where I can download specific historical builds of IE in order to test problems such as this? ...

IE8 Freezes winforms application

We have a large winforms program. On one computer if you are running the program and open IE8 the winforms program freezes and doesn't come back. But if you already have IE8 running when you start the winforms program everything appears to be fine. The same thing happens regardless of how you start IE8 (normal, no addins, or 64 bit). M...

Can the padding/margin on radio buttons in IE6/IE7 be reduced to 0-1px?

In Firefox and IE8 this isn't a problem, but in IE6, and IE7 I can't seem to reduce the padding/margin on radio buttons to anything reasonable (e.g. 0px or 1px). In the included images, you can see that the red background is huge on IE6/IE7 (even with CSS padding and margin both set to 0px) yet in Firefox/IE8 it is fine. The reason of ...
