Hi All, I'm fed-up supporting all the strange behaviors of the IE6 browser, so I'm wondering how, as a web developer, can I help killing IE6. Should I just stop supporting it? I think there is still a big mass of pepole that use it for various reasons. Maybe show IE6 users a special message that asks them to upgrade and hope it would ...
Hi All, I was just wondering if anyone out there knows of a way to have a dropdown/select box set to a fixed width i.e. 125px, but when you open it, the dropdown portion will automatically expand to the largest item in the list, and when you select the item, have the dropdown resize back to the 125px size? It does it in FF but no curre...
I just uploaded my site to the server, and it is working perfectly in Firefox and IE8, but not IE6 (have not tested in IE 7)... Here is the address: http://hqinternetsolutions.com/fullservice/index.html There are two problems on the homepage that I cant seem to figure out. The header (which uses jquery to shift the images) appears far...
In a nutshell; I wrote a simplistic chat application for a buddy and me to use. When the window running the application does not have the focus (minimized or behind other windows) and a message comes in, I want to change the windows title bar to serve as an alert. Exactly like Google's chat application does in GMail. Everything works f...
Is there anyway to control the styling of the scrollbars of a div tag? I am experiencing some contrast issues between IE7 and FireFox 3.5.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ...
I have a popup that uploads some files on submit, and after successful upload the jsp outputs a script block that contains window.close() I am having a problem where IE seems to cache the popup html on close, and when the user clicks a link to upload more files, the cached version opens first, and closes the window! how can i prevent t...
I am trying to switch from jqGrid 3.4 to 3.5. On the HTML page I'm using JSON.parse and after changing the jqGrid reference to the new version I get "JSON is undefined". This is happening in IE7. I had the impression that JSON is part of Javascript in IE. Adding an explicit reference to a JSON implementation solves the probolem of cour...
Basically my problem is sometimes, divs, spans, will float on top of ecahother. But when I move my mouse over them they "unstack" and correct themselves, and they will stay fixed until I refresh the page... then they are broken again. It's as if the action of hovering over them does something to it? Does anyone know why this kind of beh...
I am trying to browse a string using javascript. Here I am only displaying the value of each characters in the string: var value ="123#sometest"; for(var i=0; i< value.length;i++){ alert(value[i]); } This works fine in Firefox, but in IE (6 and 7), this breaks. value exists, i exists, but value[i] is undefined. Any idea why and how...
Im building a website with a jquery header that fades one picture into the next (as you have all seen before). Take a look at a sample page here: http://hqinternetsolutions.com/fullservice/index.html In IE6, the images shift way over to the right creating a margin. I figured out what is causing it. In the jquery.innerfade.js file, the...
A colleague developed a IE Plugin which I require to run for a piece of work using ATL. I have all of the source code and the compiled dll as well as a regedit. I have run the reg edit and moved the dll to the C:\Windows\System32 directory where I thought it was supposed to reside but that doesn't appear to have worked. Where should I ...
I need to open a *.bat file in a popup window. The way i do that is i open the popup window, which has a url set to the action of the downloading service. The downloading service returns the following headers: 192.168.000.195.08080-192.168.000.201.52131: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="v...
I've come across a really strange problem where a page I'm trying to test in IE7 and IE8 is taking forever to load. The problem is that it works in all other browsers just fine (yes... even IE6). The page just keeps loading saying: '(1 item remaining) Waiting for http://...' Does anyone know of any reason this could be happening? ...
I downloaded the "Javascript Memory Leak Detector" for IE mentioned elsewhere on SO and also here but cannot figure out how to use it. Apparently there used to be another blog post that perhaps went into this detail, but the link to it from the above link is broken. I've also tried using sIEve and it does a decent enough job except tha...
Here is a link to my problematic page: http://www.studioteknik.com/lamouvance/programmation.php I'm trying to have a box be as big as the content injected into it (with PHP). It works on IE6 but not in Firefox... maybe I have done too many tricks, that the world is now upside down... Please, help! I'm sure it a one line solution.....
This solution works fine in Firefox 3.0+, but IE8/7 is just printing the entire page, not the specific iframe. This is the function that gets called when the print link is clicked: var printfunc= function(){ var url = http://someurl.aspx; //This iFrame has style="visibility: hidden; position: absolute; left: -9000px;" var printIF...

I just found IE Collection, a multiple standalone IE installer (IE 1.5 through 8.0!) and it has been a great help for finding little rendering issues in my CSS. My concern is that our MCSE/IT guy says that it is a violation of Microsoft's redistribution rules. Am I breaking the rules by using it? Do others use IE Collection or other sta...
I have two flash object hidden behind my web applications main element. These flash objects are hidden, because I need to save flash as picture and flash must be "visible", because otherwise I cannot save image. My flash objects are Open Flash Chart 2 charts. Saving images works perfectly in Firefox and other browsesrs, but in IE image...
I'm trying to use a referrer header check as a defence in depth (i.e. one of many security techniques while note solely relying on any one alone). It seems that sometimes MSIE doesn't include the referrer on refresh. Is that expected behavior? Is there anyway I can detect refresh, so I that I know that a missing referrer is ok? And y...
