IE: Toolbar vs Explorer Bar

I created an IE Toolbar via C#. When I go to IE 8, I see my creation listed under View > Toolbars as I expected. But it also appears under View > Explorer Bars I don't think this is a good thing. The Google Toolbar, for example, appears only under Toolbars. Thanks for whatever help anyone can give. ...

Removing the <hr /> border styling on IE

Why is it the simple things that IE manages to mess up the most? Anyway I want to replace a normal hr line with a single image a bit like the - § - symbol (on it's side). Trying to make it look elegant :) It appears the only way to actually get rid of the border in IE though is to set the color: css value. Doing this will override wh...

Why would IE/Fiddler see different cookie setting/deletion from Chrome and FF/Live HTTP Headers?

I have a partly inherited web application in PHP and after poking around with Fiddler I have a little more data than before. The problem I'm trying to solve is unwanted logouts on IE6/8 but not FF/Chrome. If a user clicks between different pages, the login data cookies vanish. The behavior is different in FF vs. IE, and the reported inf...

When my IE toolbar resizes it overlaps its neighbor

I have an IE toolbar created via C#. One of its buttons makes the toolbar taller. When that happens the toolbar overlaps the Google Toolbar, if that toolbar is below it. When toolbar below is the IE toolbar with Favorites, etc, then my toolbar doesn't get taller when its button is clicked. In both of these cases, it seems that IE nee...

Detect scrolling in WebPage from IE extension

I'm creating an IE extension (using VS2008, C++) that needs to react to scrollbar events in IE. I'm using BHO for that and I have access to IWebBrowser2 element, IHTMLDocument2 element and HWND of the parent window. I can't figure out how to access the scrollbars. I have seen codes that allows me to handle the scrollbar once I have acces...

How should I use transparent pngs in IE 6 over a background-repeat?

The code below has a repeating background image "thinline.png". On top of that are 4 layered transparent PNGs: cardshadow.png, steel.png, startjobapplicationshadow.png and startapplication.png My goal is to make this code look good in IE6 without messing up other browsers. This feature of IE is widely documented but I have not been able...

IE6 weirdness -- first list item indented too far

Hi. CSS is not my strong suit, and I am not sure what's going on with my list items in IE6. I want them to align vertically, but the first list item is always being pushed a pixel or two two far to the right, so it no longer lines up with the other members in the list. As far as I'm concerned, this list looks fine in IE7/8, FF3, and C...

deleting a window property in IE

Hi, I can't find any information on this issue; why doesn't the following code work in IE? window.x = 45; delete window.x; // or delete window['x']; IE reports an "object doesn't support this action" error. Does it have anything to do with that iterating over window properties in IE issue? Thanks and best regards ...

Change reference point when rotating image in IE using MatrixFilter

IE: Only part of an anchor clickable

I want to have a anchor with a specifc height and width. There is no text on it since it's meant to be put in front of a certain area of the page. Here is the code: <a href="/" style="width:370px;height:80px;display:block;position:absolute;"></a> It's working fine in everything but IE6 and IE7. If I add a border, I can see that the a...

I want to parse a PAC file to get some Proxy information... just not in Explorer

Follow on from this question: I am working on a Python 2.4 app which will run on Windows XP. It needs to be able to download various resources from HTTP and it's got to work in all of our office locations which use "PAC" files to automatically select http proxies. Thanks to somebody who responded to my previous question I managed to fi...

Javascript getters/setters in IE?

For whatever reason, Javascript getters/setters for custom objects seem to work with any browser but IE. Does IE have any other non-standard mechanism for this? (As with many other features) If not, are there any workarounds to achieve the same functionality? ...

Javascript memory leaks after unloading a web page.

I have been reading up to try to make sense of memory leaks in browsers, esp. IE. I understand that the leaks are caused by a mismatch in garbage collection algorithms between the Javascript engine and the DOM object tree, and will persist past. What I don't understand is why (according to some statements in the articles I'm reading) the...

API for changing Internet Explorer settings (specifically "Allow mixed content")

We use Selenium to automate some tests on servers we have complete control of. I'd like to find a way to programmatically always allow mixed (SSL and non-SSL) content in web pages in IE, without IE prompting. Is there an API for changing explorer settings beyond things like proxies? I certainly don't mind if it uses platform APIs via P/...

Center LI elements in a CSS menu in IE?

I need to center a CSS menu that has an unknown width. I found a solution. By setting the UL tag to display:table or display:inline-table the LI elements can be aligned in the center. This solution did not work in IE. Is there another solution that will work in IE, with only HTML / CSS? If you want a good look at my code i've pasted it...

As the image is faded in the related caption slides up. The caption is meant to be transparent and this works in all browsers (that i have tested it with) except IE. The website can be found ...
