I made a rotating image fader using Javascript and CSS to show images and unload them. I wanted to use transparent PNG's, I didn't expect or care if they looked good in IE 6, but IE 7 and 8 treated them with the same disrespect. Firefox and other modern browsers looked great. Every picture with image.filter = alpha(opacity=xxx) in it ...
I have my web browsers set to save what I type into text boxes on forms. I have a lot of search terms stored in the text box of my browser and would like to get at it via a program of some sort before I clear these values out. There are far too many for me to go through one at a time. The web browser must store this data somewhere, ...
I have a Website that is really slow and "feels" really bad when using it. The server is fine, it's a clientside issue, I assume because too much JavaScript or Image Requests, but since it's not my own Website, I wonder if there is a way to show and profile the Page from within IE. In Firefox, I would use Firebug, Y!Slow and the Web Dev...
When you use the WebBrowser control in .NET you can "embed" an instance of IE in your application, essentially making your own IE-based Web Browser. Does anyone know how to make any new windows created (like when the user selects "Open in New Window" from the context menu) open up in another Window of Your Web Browser Application, inste...
How do I open multiple pages in Internet Explorer 7 with a single DOS command? Is a batch file the only way to do this? Thanks! ...
I have a site using a custom favicon.ico. The favicon displays as expected in all browsers except IE. When trying to display the favicon in IE, I get the big red x; when displaying the favicon in another browser, it displays just fine. The page source includes and it does work in other browsers. Thanks for your thoughts. The source of...
I'm the only developer supporting a website that's a mix of classic asp and .NET. I had to add some .net pages to a classic asp application. This application requires users to login. The login page, written in classic asp, creates a cookie that .net pages use to identify the logged in user and stores information in session vars for the o...
We've written a plugin to the Xinha text editor to handle footnotes. You can take a look at: http://www.nicholasbs.com/xinha/examples/Newbie.html In order to handle some problems with the way Webkit and IE handle links at the end of lines (there's no way to use the cursor to get out of the link on the same line) we insert a blank eleme...
Hi all, the company I work for want to use a "hosted payment form" to charge our customers. A question came up on how we can populate the "payment form" automatically with information from one of our other system. We have no control over the hosed payment form, and we have to use IE. Is this possible at all? And if so, how can this be d...
I am implementing a design that uses custom styled submit-buttons. They are quite simply light grey buttons with a slightly darker outer border: input.button { background: #eee; border: 1px solid #ccc; } This looks just right in Firefox, Safari and Opera. The problem is with Internet Explorer, both 6 and 7. Since the form is...
I have an Internet Explorer Browser Helper Object (BHO), written in c#, and in various places I open forms as modal dialogs. Sometimes this works but in some cases it doesn't. The case that I can replicate at present is where IE is running javascript to open other child windows... I guess it's getting a bit confused somewhere.... The p...
Is there a way to recover the contents of a browser textarea? Say, you've typed a long post and then accidentally clicked on a link. Then when you come back, the textfields tantalizingly retain the text you typed in, but the textarea is blank. Where does IE and Firefox store the stuff that prepopulates? Can textareas be brought back? ...
I use the Nightly Tester Tools for Firefox and Fiddler for IE. What do you use? ...
I'm having an unusual problem with an IE document with contentEditable set to true. Calling select() on a range that is positioned at the end of a text node that immediately precedes a block element causes the selection to be shifted to the right one character and appear where it shouldn't. I've submitted a bug to Microsoft against IE8...
Does anyone know if IE6 ever misrenders pages with hidden divs? We currently have several divs which we display in the same space on the page, only showing one at a time and hiding all others. The problem is that the hidden divs' components (specifically option menus) sometimes show through. If the page is scrolled, removing the compone...
We need to test a website in both IE6 and IE7. We've had bugs appear running on actual windows machines that aren't visible under vmware (?!), so we have an actual windows laptop to do this - but only one. Is it possible to install IE6 and IE7 side-by-side in such a way that they absolutely, positively, behave exactly like they would if ...
Is there a way to have Internet Explorer 8 and IE 6 side by side without virtualizing? I used Multiple IEs which works fine with IE 7, but since I installed IE 8 beta 2, IE 6 started behaving oddly (that is, more than usual) ...
We've noticed that IE7 has an odd behavor with code blocks posted on Stack Overflow. For example, this little code block: public PageSizer(string href, int index) { HRef = href; PageIndex = index; } Copy and pasted from IE7, ends up like this: public PageSizer(string href, int index){ HRef = href; PageIndex = index; ...
I'm having a weird cross-browser flash problem. Please see the screenshot below. I have seen this behaviour before, but I cannot recall what the cause was. Can someone please tell me why this happens, and possible actions I can take to fix it? ...
I'm facing a problem with IE6. I took the toggle function from this website but when I apply it to my page I get the error (only in IE6): Could not get the display property. Invalid argument. I can get the display property, but the error is thrown when I want to set to the new value. EDIT: I know that several developers have f...
