    - WebBrowser Control: Old-timey Button Style The webbrowser control insists on drawing all the widgets/form elements/buttons in with an legacy-style hard beveled look. When I use an input tag with type="button" in the webbrowser control it looks like a system button on windows 95. However when I view that same page in IE6 or 7 it has a nice soft rounded look. Is there a way to get webbrowser control to look the same as IE Thanks. -C Tag: Internet Explorer Web Development Suggestion: drag page when moving mouse while holding down mouse button Internet Explorer Development

    - IE7 Changes Session Numbers I'm supporting an application in my office that runs in a web browser and connects to a secure area of our website. The users locate customers in browser instance 1 and then click a link to log into the customer account in browser instance 2. The problem occurs when the user logs out of customer account in browser 2 and returns to browser 1 to locate the next customer. The session number has changed and the security cookies have disappeared forcing the user to log into the application again in browser 1. The user environment is Internet Explorer 7 running on Windows XP Professional. The application is written using ASP and VB Script. I've tried different methods of starting browser 2 including a form post, anchor tag and javascript window.open(). They all exhibit the same behavior. The interesting thing is that the application works fine in FireFox. Any ideas on how to fix this issue will be grealty appreciated.

    - adding a button to work offline Hi, I added a button to Internet Explorer's toolbar and pointed to the executable without any problems. The executable modifies the registry value: My.Computer.Registry.SetValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "GlobalUserOffline", 1) This works if I restart IE or open a second instance of IE. It doesn't work in the currently opened IE instance. I want this button to work as if it's done from IE's File menu > Work Offline Is it possible to accomplish and how I looked in msdn library and found a Offline property: "Offline Property Sets or gets a value that indicates whether the object is operating in offline mode. Syntax: object.offline = True/False" If this offline property is what I should use, how do I do it Many thanks, e. rudder Tag: Internet Explorer Web Development Suggestion: drag page when moving mouse while holding down mouse button Internet Explorer Development

    - IE7 cookie problem Can anyone help with the following. When I log on to a web page, a session is created and saved using in-proc cookies which are saved in the IE7 client browser. When a new window is opened in the same session and then closed, the cookies are deleted and the session is lost, even though the first window is still opened. The session was not closed. This happens only on certain PCs, not always and only with IE7 . This problem is only with IE7, all other browsers are ok. Is this a problem we have to put up with or will it be fixed by the IE developers greetings Tag: Internet Explorer Web Development Suggestion: drag page when moving mouse while holding down mouse button Internet Explorer Development

    - get_Document returns NULL in IE7 Has anyone seen this behavior In IE7, when get_Document is called on IWEBBrowser2, it returns NULL. Basically, I am doing the following in the OnCreate of the explorer bar (my explorer bar is based on an HTML control): CAxWindow wnd(m_hWnd); HRESULT hr = wnd.CreateControl(IDH_HTML_SPLASH1); CComPtr<IDispatch> pHtmlDispatch; CComPtr<IHTMLDocument2> pHtmlDocument; hr = wnd.QueryControl(IID_IWebBrowser2, (void**)&m_spBrowser); if (m_spBrowser) m_spBrowser->get_Document(&pHtmlDispatch); After the above last line, pHtmlDispatch is NULL. This seems to happen only in IE7. What could be the reason And if pHtmlDispatch is NULL how else can I get hold of the document Thanks Tag: Internet Explorer Web Development Suggestion: drag page when moving mouse while holding down mouse button Internet Explorer Development

    - Issue with Internet Explorer 7 - Security Prompt I have programmed an application that uses WMI Scripting to check the Serial Number of the Hard Disk Drive. The user connects to the Web Server and then the Web application should check and show the Serial Number. However, this works in Internet Explorer 6 (the browser asks the user if he/she allows to run ActiveX). In Internet Explorer 7 a Prompt appears and disappears and the user cannot tell the browser if he/she allows or not ActiveX execution (this is if the IE is configured to ask the user, because if it's configured to allow execution, the application works, but there is a security issue and the company will not alllow this). Please let me know if there is a bug with Internet Explorer 7 with the Security Prompt or if there is another way to execute WMI Scripting: var locator = new ActiveXObject ( "WbemScripting.SWbemLocator" ); Thanks a lot for your response, Francisco.

    - IE Font Rendering Inconsitency on Select Elements I've noticed that there appears to be an inconsitency with how text is rendered in elements on IE7. I have a web page that is encoded in utf-8, and contains japanese code points. All text looks fine except text in select elements. In a select element the text is rendered as squares. I can fix the problem by explicitly selecting a font that contains these code points (e.g. MS Gothic) However, that doesn't seem to be required for any other element. So what gives Is this a bug If it is, is there any chance we'll see a fix Thanks. Here's a test page that shows the error... <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd "> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> <title>Test Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>Test Page</h1> <p>This test contains the same string in different contexts.

    - IE7 Start up problem Hi, I am having problems starting IE7. When I start IE7 it hangs for ages, maybe a few minutes before starting then everything runs OK. I don't think IE7 is the problem because when I start my network connection (tiscali broadband) explorer hangs too and nothing will run until it clears itself, several minutes later. When I boot Windows (XPSP2) iexplorer.exe runs at boot and tries to connect to the internet but I have no applications that call this program at startup, (except maybe McAfee and JavaSun scheduler). I have checked the registry and it seems clear (as far as I can see!) I have tried running McAfee and AdAware but they dont find anything. Have even tried a rootkit analyser but it also says nothing amiss. It is as if a program runs IE7 invisibly in the background and the explorer/system can only start properly when this has finished. Does this sound like a trojan Had the same problem before I upgraded from IE6. I have tried disabling add-ons but no improvement. One other thing is it will not play videos when called from flash web page application, otherwise they play normally. I have latest flash player installed. Does anyone else have this problem Or can anyone suggest a fix I would really appreciate any feed back / support.

    - Problem crashing IE with IE extension and Broker Process Hello, I have a pre-vista Internet Explorer toolbar which communicated via COM to another process to assist my users with web browsing. Both the toolbar and the com server are written in VB6. Under Vista, with protected mode, I thought that I could make my COM server a broker process and everything would be fine. I added the registry keys alluded to in Understanding and Working in Protected Mode Internet Explorer . Now, my toolbar will start the out of process com server, but Internet Explorer crashes. How do I fix this If I turn protected mode off, everything works great. Please help!

    - Injecting JavaScript into a DIV Element Hello, everyone. I'm working with many people on a web development project. The team is using AJAX to send and receive configuration information to determine the customized content that appears within various elements on the page. Currently, the flow is rather simple. A user will make a request, the browser will make an AJAX call to the server, and the server will return HTML markup that describes the appearance/behavior of the desired element within the page. Until recently, this has been working without issue, until it came time to test this with IE7. All our markup has been rendering as expected, except for one particular request which returns a small amount of JavaScript in a <SCRIPT> tag to handle some of the wonkier behavior.  Whenever this request was made, the <DIV> where the markup should be injected is a blank, whereas every other request would render properly. After closer inspection, it appears that IE7 is stripping out everything within the <SCRIPT> tags, including the tags themselves, before injecting the markup.  Consider the following: var responseText = " <p>Begin Script</p> <script type='text/javascript'> // random JavaScript code </script> <p>End Script</p> "; displayArea.innerHTML = responseText; alert(innerHTML); In Mozilla Firefox, as intended, the page will draw an alert box containing indentical contents to the response text, including the <SCRIPT> information. In IE7, the alert box displays the following: <p>Begin Script</p> <p>End Script</p> Naturally, the <SCRIPT> content is missing. It's not difficult to figure out why IE7 would be stripping the information out, considering the potential security threats of passing unwanted JavaScript to the browser. At the same time, though, other browsers do support this without incident, and I would like to know if there's another reason for this behavior besides what we've already theorized. With that in mind, is there any way of circumventing the problem Another team member has suggested using regular expressions to pass all the <SCRIPT> snippets to an eval() function to be executed "the hard way" though this seems somewhat inelegant. I was curious as to whether or not anyone had any additional suggestions. The JavaScript code being passed, for those that are curious, is an implementation of the EXT-JS visual library and is displaying a tree structure. Thank you very much for your assistance.

    - IE7 Script Error Hi, This problem has always been bugging me. When I sign into my user account and open up User Accounts in control panel I don't have any problems but when I go to any other user account and do this, no matter if they are computer admins or not, they encounter an IE script error with no description and this popup does not go away whether you click yes or no. It's not just the User Accounts menu in the control panel, it's other applications too. Is there a fix for this problem or any ideas I have already disabled script debugging in IE. I also disable the alerts for script errors in IE too. Tag: Internet Explorer Web Development Suggestion: drag page when moving mouse while holding down mouse button Internet Explorer Development

    - IE 7 Uninstall/Install Issues This is not the common inability to uninstall IE 7. I have read through many of the problems other peoples have been having trying to uninstall certain versions of IE 7 to get the newest version. This is not what I am trying to do. What first started the issue was that I had installed IE 7. (Bad choice to begin with. I am a firm supporter of Mozilla FireFox.) After installing IE 7, I attempted to use the program for a website that is IE specific. However, after double clicking the IE 7 desktop icon that had been created, IE 7 had created an immediate error and had to be closed. I couldn't tell what error had been created but I know its on a different line and with a different code every time when I read the "details" of the error and subsequent shutdown. Now, I've figured to just uninstall IE 7 and revert back to IE 6. BUT, after several attempts at uninstalling, I get the following error: Setup cannot copy the file: ieakmmc.chm So I click "Cancel" and I get the following message: Do you want to continue setup without copying this file I click "Yes" and get the following message: If you cancel copying this file Windows might not work correctly. Are you sure you want to cancel this file And once again I click "Yes". What is now being referred to as "Set Up" instead of "Uninstall" continues on, but immediately after that I get another error of the same message, stating that the file "ieeula.chm" cannot be copied. So I go through the same process as I did with the "ieakmmc.chm" file and after finishing this, I get another file that can't be copied. The rest of the files that could not be copied were: iesupp.chm iexplore.chm inetres.adm html.iec After going through those files in the same fashion as I did with the original "ieakmmc.chm" file, I get a new error stating: The file 'mshtml.dll.000' on Windows NT Service Pack uninstall Directory is needed. I treat this error the same way as "ieakmmc.chm" and IE 7's uninstall creates one last error stating that the uninstall cannot be completed. I also tried clicking "Retry" but in doing so, I cannot go past the first file "ieakmmc.chm". I figure to download and install the newest IE 7, because after all that I've read, that will uninstall the previous version and everything will be fine. Well, after downloading and doubling click the installer, I get through almost the entire unpacking process of the installer and get the following error: "update\iesetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application." This error tells me about as much as "I am mad at you, and you should know why, therefore I won't tell you why." So in all of my frustration to still download IE 7, or attempt to revert BACK to IE 6, I have come thus far and am now stuck at what I should do now. PLEASE, I apologize for the long windedness, but I need some help with this. Thank you to anyone that has taken the time to read all of this craziness. ~Naru Tag: Internet Explorer Web Development Suggestion: drag page when moving mouse while holding down mouse button Internet Explorer Development

    - Programmatically reading Cookies on Windows Vista using .NET? My toolbar (as referenced in my other posts) has a "Login" link on it, that dynamically changes to "Logout" if my user is currently logged into the website the toolbar is tied to. This code works fine in 9x, 2k and XP: string currentUser = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("USERPROFILE"); string[] cookieFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(currentUser + \\Cookies , "*" + myHost + "*"); However, in my Vista Ultimate beta this code explodes saying, "Access is denied." On further investigation, there are no cookies in this folder. A different post suggested they were in User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies, but I can't seem to find them there either.

C.W.Flink

Moving the mouse while holding the button down currently has no assigned purpose in IE7. In the Acrobat PDF viewer (and other viewers such as Google Earth, Virtual Earth, etc) this drags the "page" as the mouse moves. IE should do the same. Besides compatibility with other viewers, this allows for less mouse movement (i.e. looking for the elivator in the scroll bar) to move up/down as you read text (or taking your hand off the mouse to find the page-up/down buttons.)

Not everyone has a "wheel mouse". I'm using a Versapoint RF wireless keyboard to type this on a full screen IE7 showing on a large screen HDTV driven by Vista. The "rocker" mouse built into this keyboard is slow at going over to the scroll bar (and it is not all that easy to see on the TV)... I can increase the text size to make it easy to read/type text, but the scroll bar does not increase in size correspondingly).

Sounds like the ideal thing to add in an Extension.

I don't think it would be very easy in IE to accomplish this, but I'm sure the developer community for Firefox would be more than willing to help... in fact there may already be an extension for this.

In fact... http://perso.orange.fr/marc.boullet/index.html has an extension for this... you just right-click (and hold) to "pin" the page, then drag whereever you want.

cheers,
