Compatibility View of internet explorer 6 or higher websites
How do I view websites that are compatible to internet explorer 6 or higher on my macbook with Safari 8.0.3?
If the Web site was merely created by a clueless developer then Kappy's answer is correct. There are some websites that insist on being displayed only on Explorer but don't really need Explorer. However, it is more common that the lazy developer utilized Windows only technology and the Web site cannot be viewed - or at least parts of it cannot be viewed - without Explorer. If this is the case you'll have no choice but to use a Windows solution. Though becoming increasingly rare this does remain a problem and it is one reason why I use Parallels Desktop with Windows 7 as a guest operating system. This lets me run Windows on my Mac while still using Mac software. Apple's BootCamp is another solution but it forces us to boot into either Windows or the Mac which I find inconvenient.

Trouble viewing in Internet Explorer
Hello,
I created a website in Dreamweaver CS3 and everything was
going fine until I uploaded it and discovered that most of the
content could not be viewed (mostly the flash stuff). I then
discovered that Dreamweaver had randomly inserted <noscrript>
tags for my flash content, so I deleted the <noscript> I then
viewed the page using Firefox in Dreamweaver and all the flash
content had doubled up (it was showing replica images stacked on
top of each other), I then uploaded it and discovered that you can
view it just fine in Firefox and other web browsers but NOT
Internet Explorer which shows the content on the firs page but does
not show 90% of the content (all flash) on the other pages.
The issues
• Firefox (within Dreamweaver) displays doubled up
images after I deleted the <noscript> tags.
• Most of the content of the site can not be viewed
with Internet Explorer
The web address for the site is www.behel-witham.co.uk
I really appreciate all your help
Thanks

You are mistaken. DW didn't insert anything randomly. The
<noscript> tags
are in systematic locations and they are there for a good
reason. By
hacking into this you have destroyed the accessability of the
page.
Revert to the original code, and post a link to the page,
please.

Menu positioning problem when viewing in Internet explorer on a pc
Hi guys,
I have created a website for a football team and I am having problems with the menu. It looks fine in all browsers apart from Internet Explorer. The menu positioning is meant to be on the left hand side but shows far right on the screen when viewed in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

css sheet - http://www.stormersfc.co.uk/style.css
Hopefully someone can help.
Cheers,
RoyHummm....its difficult to tell. Youre using so many redundant css styles ie not needed.
Youre 'leftPan' <div> container is 140px in width but your ul (unordered list inside it is 244px wide?
Why set widths and heights when they are not needed. You have no idea what height the ul and li will be in other users browsers. A child element placed inside a parent container will stretch to the full width without specifying a width for the child element. The key to web deisgn is keeping all the maths 100% correct. If you so much as get anything out by even one px it could break the design.
#leftPan{
margin-left: 90px;
width: 140px;
#leftPan ul{
width:244px;
height:250px;
background-position: 0 0;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 0;
margin-top: 1px;
text-decoration: none;
I see no reason why your based structure ie the 'container', 'header', 'mainpic', sidebar1 and 'mainContent' should not work in all browsers. Now what you have inside those may be casuing the conflict. I would strip the page back to the base structure (check that it does work in all browsers) then begin to fill the containers, checking as you go. -
I am not able to view any YouTube videos on YouTube or Facebook whilst using Firefox. My Flash Player/Plugin/Shockwave Player & Javascript are all the most recent and all show as up to date and working. On selecting a video to view I now have a blank screen which I have right clicked on & notice there is an Adhoc Plus - Block Image message and wonder if this should be there as this is not the case when viewing through Internet Explorer (which still allows me to view all videos & shows that I have Flash Player installed when I right click on the same screen). I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled to see if this would solve the problem but this has made no difference. I have also noticed on my Firewall that Javascript is not showing as an Exception and changed this to find that this has made no difference either. I am now at a complete loss - can anyone help me please as I would like to keep using Firefox. Many thanks
There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

There are 2 versions of the add-on, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909/ IE Tab Plus] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/ IE Tab 2]. They both perform the same function of opening Internet Explorer inside a Firefox tab, the main difference between the two is that IE Tab Plus also supports the Adblock Plus add-on being used inside the IE tab and can synchronize cookies.

Panel covers important "view" button;Internet Explorer is fine with this.
My online banking page has a window where I can choose to see transactions completed 2,4,6 or more weeks previously. Next to the window SHOULD be a "VIEW" button which I click to get the desired transactions. For a few months now, there is a Self Service panel which covers the "VIEW" button; I cannot access the desired information. Before that, it worked fine. Using my Internet Explorer browser, I can access the page and the "VIEW" button is easily accessible. There's something wrong with my banking page.
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Getting bobj is undefined when report is viewed in Internet Explorer 8
Background
We are running a web application on a server that has "BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 FP 2.6 Update" installed on it.
The server uses the 1.1 .net framework.
This web app can generate Crystal reports and display them either by exporting to pdf, or by using the CrystalReportViewer control.
(The CrystalDecisions references in the sln for the website are using version 12.0.1100.0.
The web app is a custom web app that is not defined in iis at the default level. It lives as a virtual website under the default website and uses the crystalreportviewers12 virtual directory.)
when the browser displays a report by exporting to pdf, it works just fine.
Here is our issue:
When the browser displays a report by using the CrystalReportViewer control using Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), it generates a javascript error:
'bobj' is undefined
Here are a few peculiar things on this:
- the report displays ok for other IE8 users (so the issue only occurs for select IE8 users).
- the report displays ok in ie6.
- One notable observation is that IE8 has different sets of options amongst browsers. We compared 2 machines that didnu2019t work, with 1 machine that does work. All 3 sets of IE8 settings differ in one way or another.
Does anyone know if this is an issue that that can be fixed through an IE8 setting? Or does it need to be fixed elsewhere? Thank you!Hi Brownie,
We only support IE 8 in Compatibility mode. Try selecting that option in the Browser and test again
Thank you

Flash animation not viewing in Internet Explorer
I have built a website in iweb using Slideshowpro and Vertical Moon products, everything views as it has been built in Safari and Firefox, in Internet Explorer the text animations do not view at all, but the rest does OK. In opera all views OK with the exception of the text which I used transparent tag, it does not view transparent, but as a block
This is very frustrating has anyone else had this problem, and hw do you fix it
Thank youWell, I don't really think they do. It is the PC world and ultimately Internet Explorer that are well behind the times with this technology. Internet Explorer must be the worst browser around and has been for sometime - little wonder that Bill Gates used to throw in a free copy with every PC.
It is my belief that the PC industry need to update. In the meantime, what you can do is ensure that the PC users have javascript enabled on the PC's and also suggest that they go and download a copy of either Firefox for PC or a copy of Safari for PC. Add that on your site and let them know that it is best viewed with a copy of Firefox or Safari and have the clickable links on your site so that they can go there.
I don't think it is Apple's problem to address IE - Apple technology is ahead of this. This is for the PC industry to do and to catch up - perhaps they need to ensure they come up with something better than IE and Vista, which has been a bit of a disaster. -
On a single Windows 2012 R2 server I have installed SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013 SP1 with the latest update roll ups. When I remote desktop to the server using the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using
Internet Explorer, I'm able to see newsfeeds and document libraries.
If I connected to a separate Windows 7 machine as the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using Internet Explorer, I'm able to view the SharePoint pages except I cannot see any newsfeeds or document libraries.
There's just blank space where they should be. I have repeated this process on several other machines that are not the server and get the same result on every machine (I've tried other servers, desktops, adding the SharePoint site to the trusted sites list
in IE, even using firefox). I'm using the same account as I did when I logged onto the server directly. Any thoughts as to what's going on?
Thanks!Thanks for the idea, Harsh. What am I looking for?
It is currently set to the default of http://server_name and http://server_name:port_number (the latter is for Central Admin).
When I have access to the server, I have always done so the same way, using http://server_name. This was true when I access it from the desktop of the server itself and when I tried to access it from other desktops and servers (the machines where I had the
issues with the libraries and feeds not showing up). Are there other values I should add?
I have not tried to add http://server_FQDN as we don't plan on using that to access it but if you think it will help I would be happy to add it. -
Prior till about 24 hours ago, I was able to preview an item that I listed on ebay without any problems. Now I cannot preview the item in Firefox, but I can preview the item in internet explorer. What might be causing this?
Thanks,Are you trying to use the built-in Print Preview in Firefox, or is this a page specially generated by eBay?
Do you get an error message when trying to view the page, or nothing happens when you click the link/button, or ... what exactly happens?
In case you haven't already...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference? -
IIS7-Internet Explorer cannot display website
I hosted my website on my local webserver (Window Server 2008), and when I run it on
iE8 & iE11 the website doesn't look good, my navigation bar brakes, and my image slider breaks too. It is not a browser
issue because, I have hosted the same website on the Goddady servers, and it works fine with
iE8&iE11.
And also on when I try to run it on the google chrome it works fine, but on the Internet Explorer comes out with that problem. Do you guys think is a problem with my IIS on my Server? Any help/suggestion/advice I would really appreciate it.They'll help you over here.

Applet Viewer Vs Internet Explorer
I have a applet that displays popupmenus on a button click it works great when viewed through the applet viewer but under Internet explorer everything appears right but when you click on a button hNothingapp
happens.No threads! Thats not the issue here!!!
class a extends Applet implements ActionListener
Button b;
public void init()
b=new Button("the button");
add(b);
b.addActionListener(this);
System.out.println("init ok");
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
System.out.println("actionPerformed start");
PopupMenu p;
p=new PopupMenu("Jalla");
p.add(new MenuItem("first"));
p.add(new MenuItem("second"));
add(p);
b.setBackground(new Color((int)(Math.random()*0xffffff)));
b.repaint();
p.show(b, 10, 10);
System.out.println("actionPerformed end");
}This is what you are describing... Check against my code to find what you have forgotten. Also: use the java console in IE a lot (View->Java Console) You have to switch it on under (Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Microsoft VM)

Adobe Reader view in Internet Explorer is very narrow
I am able to open PDF files inside Internet Explorer but they show up in a 2 inch wide (or so) column on the left side of the screen and I am unable to get this very narrow view to widen. The PDF is there but very very small. Zooming in works but again all I can see is 2 inches or so of the left hand side. The right hand side is solid black as if the plugin is just sized down to be very narrow. I've reinstalled Acrobat Reader but still have the issue. Has anyone ever seen this?
Does this happen on every site? Try opening the PDF on this site

Does it happen here as well?
