I've got a lightbox textbox that is displayed using an AJAX call from an ASP.NET UpdatePanel. When the lightbox is displayed, I use the focus() method of a textbox that is in the lightbox to bring focus to the textbox right away. When in Firefox, the text box gains focus with no problem. In IE, the text box does not gain focus unless I ...
Our system dynamically generates a large report by converting many HTML pages into a single PDF. The resulting PDF is sent back (via the HTTP request) to the calling browser. When the report is sufficiently large (200+ pages) IE 7 intermittently chokes. The result issue is the calling PC locks up and must be rebooted. When using an al...

I'm writing an app which for various reasons involves Internet Explorer (IE7, for the record), ActiveX controls, and a heroic amount of JavaScript, which is spread across multiple .js includes. One of our remote testers is experiencing an error message and IE's error message says something to the effect of: Line: 719 Char: 5 Error: Un...
I'm developing a solution which uses an ActiveX control (a commercial one which we bought and that I did not develop). I need to develop the proper installation pages to simulate what happens when a user who has never visited the site and does not have the add-on installed comes to the page. I've found the "Manage Add-Ons" bit in Intern...
Internet explorer 6 seems totally ignore CSS classes or rules on select, option or optgroup tags. Is there a way to bypass that limitation (except install a recent version of IE) ? Edit : to be more precise, I'm trying to build a hierarchy between options like that example: Here's the HTML snippet : <select name="hierarchicalList" mu...
Internet Explorer (from versions 4 to 7, at least) limits the number of files uploaded using a single 'input type="file"' form field to one. What is the best approach to take if I want to upload more than one file in a single HTTP POST request? ...
I am using the YUI layout manager which seems to work at an OK speed. However if the page contains a large <Table> with about 500 rows, the YUI render() function takes about a minute longer to run. When I open the same page without the layout manager it opens in less than a second. My only concern is with IE 7. I tried it on firefox an...
I would like a batch file to launch two separate programs then have the command line window close. Actually, to clarify, I am launching Internet Explorer with two different URLs. So far I have something like this: start "~\iexplore.exe" "url1" start "~\iexplore.exe" "url2" What I get is one instance of Internet Explorer with only the...

I'm trying to use this layout with two 50% column width instead. But it seems that when the right columns reaches its 'min-width', it goes under the left column. Is there any way to use the 'shim' technique to set a min-width to the wrapper so both columns stop resizing. Thus, eliminating the problem of the right column finding itself un...
Is it possible to get the machine name, or IP, or MAC address (basically client network information) from javascript running Internet Explorer? I found the following code that seems to accomplish this: function Button1_onclick() { var locator = new ActiveXObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator"); var service = locator.ConnectServer("."...
I have some nested tables that I want to hide/show upon a click on one of the top-level rows. The markup is, in a nutshell, this: <table> <tr> <td>stuff</td> .... more tds here </tr> <tr> <td colspan=some_number> <table> </table> </td> </tr> </table> Now, I'm using some jQu...
I want to define a CSS class that will provide the same style as HTML's <pre> element. I tried this: .mystyle { display: block; font-family: monospace; white-space: pre; } which works fine on FF but not on IE (white-spaces are not kept). Does anyone have a clue? ...
I do web site debugging with IE (as well as other browsers) but my problem is with IE, as it is the browser i usually use for regular browsing. In order to debug you need to turn on debug mode in the advanced options. Ok, fine. Its turned on. But the issue I have that is quite annoying is that it seems 30% of websites have JS errors, an...
In IE when I insert text into a <pre> tag the newlines are ignored: <pre id="putItHere"></pre> <script> function putText() { document.getElementById("putItHere").innerHTML = "first line\nsecond line"; } </script> Using \r\n instead of a plain \n does not work. <br/> does work but inserts an extra blank line in FF, which is not a...
Where does Internet Explorer store the history data, i.e. the list of URL that have been visited? I am using Windows XP SP3 and IE7. Basically I would like to read the list of URL and make some statistics on how often what pages are visited. ...
I'm currently experiencing an intermediate problem with some inherited client side javascript. Every so often the users' experience a browser hang with the cursor becoming an egg timer and then the browser failing to respond. I'm having real difficulty in determining where the issue is arising from. Short of disabling large chunks of j...
I have an img tag in my webapp that uses the onload handler to resize the image: <img onLoad="SizeImage(this);" src="foo" > This works fine in Firefox 3, but fails in IE7 because the image object being passed to the SizeImage() function has a width and height of 0 for some reason -- maybe IE calls the function before it finishes loadi...
