I have a web application which provides Excel files via IE 7. It requests the files with an HTTP GET from a URL which returns the data with a content type of 'application/vnd.ms-excel'. It then opens the spreadsheets in an IFrame. This all works fine unless Excel is already open when a spreadsheet is downloaded. In this case it is still...
Has anyone had this problem. You install Silverlight 2 RTW, and open your old project. Everything loads fine in the designer. You have to change a few properties of your DataGrid because "DisplayMemberBinding" was changed to "Binding". Press F5, and receive a Win32 exception in IEXPLORE.EXE. You go check out the event viewer and see...
I am writing a command-line tool for Windows that uses libcurl to download files from the internet. Obviously, the downloading doesn't work when the user is behind a proxy server, because the proxy needs to be configured. I want to keep my tool as simple as possible however, and not have to burden the user with having to configure the p...
In Google Chrome, I can provide the command-line argument --user-data-dir="..." to have Chrome use a different directory for state like cookies, cache, and so forth. This makes it possible to trivially load web pages from a "fresh" browser and simulate multiple independent users. How can I do the same thing with Internet Explorer (eith...
I'm helping a customer who has a problem with a flash app. The flash app uses an XMLSocket to connect to a service running on localhost. It works fine under firefox. It uses the following line to setup the security policy: System.security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://localhost:10032"); Running the flash app under firefox, the service ...
I've created a web application that I've hosted with IIS 7 on a Windows Server 2008 machine. I've loaded a security certificate for secure.xxxxx.com. When I browse to the web site with Microsoft Internet Explorer, I get this prompt: Choose a digital certificate Identification The website you want to view requests identificati...
I'm using jQuery to hide and show elements when a radio button group is altered/clicked. It works fine in browsers like Firefox, but in IE 6 and 7, the action only occurs when the user then clicks somewhere else on the page. To elaborate, when you load the page, everything looks fine. In Firefox, if you click a radio button, one table r...
This page displays beautifully in firefox but i get all kinds of problems when testing the site in opera or internet explorer, mostly with the menu. I would like to know what techniques have caused this and how to avoid them. Thank you! Edit: Really embarrassing! I forgot to provide a link, sorry :( http://www.jkhbdesign.se/ Edit 2: He...
I have a single templated column in a DataGrid, in an ASP.NET 2 web sites. The DataGrid is paged, with ten rows per page. In Firefox, all is good, as nearly always, but when I view the site trough IE, I get the following exception: Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using in configuration or <%@ ...
Our web application renders fast in some IE browsers, slow in others... It seems to be an HTML rendering problem... The first 10% of the page displays immediately, the last 90% takes up to 10 seconds, and this is static content. I've run with firefox/yslow, renders very quickly. Seems to be isolated to some users/configurations of ie...
The problem is in the title - IE is misbehaving and is saying that there is a script running slowly - FF and Chrome don't have this problem. How can I find the problem . .there's a lot of JS on that page. Checking by hand is not a good ideea EDIT : It's a page from a project i'm working on... but I need a tool to find the problem. End...
Hi all, I’m having an issue where a drop down list in IE 6/7 is behaving as such: You can see that the drop down width is not wide enough to display the whole text without expanding the overall drop down list. However in Firefox, there is no issue as it expands the width accordingly. This is the behaviour we want in IE 6/7: We’ve...
The general problem: We have urls coming to our IIS web servers formatted like: http://www.server.com/page.aspx We are also seeing that urls like this are coming in: http://www.server.com//page.aspx We would like to get rid of that extra path character because when the user agent is Internet Explorer, this is resolving as ...
I have a layout which uses min-width and works great. So I came to add a footer which I want to stick to the bottom. Firefox will display everything perfectly while with IE, when min-width takes in effect and the vertical scroll bar kicks in, the horizontal scroll bar also appears even thought my content isn't even close to needing it. ...
I know that Internet Explorer has some proprietary extensions so that you can do things like create divs with a gradient background. I can't remember the element name or it's usage. Does anyone have some examples or links? ...
I have an internet-explorer only web application. I'm exploring what we can do to automate the testing. Selenium looks like a good tool, but to be able to activate links etc I need to tell selenium where they are. The application wasn't built with this kind of testing in mind, so there generally aren't id attributes on the key element...
So my problem has to do with a Sticky footer that works, but a rounded corner script pushes the footer up a bit in IE7. (example: Games Page) If you load the page in IE7, the footer is in the wrong place, but if you do the following: 1. Open a new tab 2. Go to google.ca in the new tab (or do something) 3. Close the tab The footer problem...
I'm trying to get the start element and the end element of a selection and the offset of the selection in each, i do this in firefox as follows: var delselection = window.getSelection(); var startOffset = delselection.anchorOffset; var endOffset = delselection.focusOffset; var startNode = delselection.anchorNode.parentNode; var endN...
Hi All, I'm using JQuery's jquery.corner.js to create rounded corners on some td tags, and they look fine in IE EXCEPT if you open a new tab and then come back to the page if you go to another tab, click a link, then come back to the page if you hover over a javascript-executing div / menu (I think). The rounded corners are replace...
I've written a IE Toolbar in C# and everything is working fine except that when I open a child Windows Form from my toolbar, the tab key doesn't work on the child form to allow me to move from field to field. The interesting part is that when I open my child form using form.showDialog() instead of form.show() the tabs work like normal....
