IE Question: How many CSS includes can it handle?

I came across a strange behavior while theming Drupal. I turned a few modules that added 5 to 10 link tags to the page. While these new stylesheets were added to the cascade in Firefox, in IE8, by adding these the browser discarded the earlier added CSS files from the hierarchy. In fact, the first files were the first to go, which comple...

Make Flash start only when div "appears" with IE / ui-tabs.js

Hi guys, I'm making a website using the jQuery UI Tabs plugin which is great. However, one of my "hidden" tabs contains an .swf.

IE however plays this .swf while it is hidden, so when the user clicks on the tab, they see no animation in IE as it has alr...

Odd Internet Explorer 7 bug; not calculating padding on links correctly

It would appear that I am suffering from a new bug in IE7, as I can't seem to find any reference to it anywhere else. It is best explained using screenshots, so here are a couple of links (and as a note, it's not a requirement for it to work in IE6, so I don't even want to know what it looks like under that!): How it should be displayed...

Using Javascript to open a "maximized" window in IE6?

Any idea for this? Problems encountered: Using screen.availHeight and screen.availWidth as the height and width params in window.open causes the browser size to include the taskbar, and positioning at (0, 0) ignores the possibility of the taskbar being up there. What I want is to open a new window with the size as if it was "maximized...

Font / Image rendering differences, IE 6 and IE 8

I've just noticed a project in a company I'm working in that says - Supports IE6 only.

I'm not authorized to see the code yet, but I was wondering what the differences ...
