What's The Problem? Only in Internet Explorer (surprise) is my code executed incorrectly. The short crap of code below should append an "onclick" action to each "a" tag.

Is there a good wrapper for using Media Player in IE

I need to add media playback ability to a web application. It has to play audio and video, and the player has to be MS Media Player (shouldn't use any plugin non existent on a standard windows machine).

How do you increase Internet Explorer 7's "Select as you type" timeout for comboboxes?

In Internet Explorer 7, you can select options from comboboxes by typing the first few letters of the value you're looking for. However, some people in our organisation are a bit slow and can't type their selection quick enough, with the result that the timeout is triggered and the "select as you type" process starts all over again. Exa...

Very Unusual Margin Appears Always in Internet Explorer [CSS]

Only in Internet Explorer does this occur: I'm getting an additional margin (of 19 pixels) below a fieldset and I can't seem to see why, whatever I try! Try it for yourself, take a look at http://theshrop.com/d/call_us_or_call_in.php. To aid I've added a grid and some background colours. The fieldset should have a 1.125em bottom margin a...

Generating PDF, error with IE and HTTPS

IE: Clone XML Data Island into IFrame

First off, YES, this is for IE and IE only. NO, I cannot deviate from that. I am working on a corporate intranet application and I have no say whatsoever about the client browser; thus, it is IE (and IE 6, at that). Now, the gist of what I'm trying to do is this: the application houses several XML data islands, and at times I need to pr...
