Formatting in IE7

Hi all,
I've had a quick search on the forum, but can't find an
answer. I'm aware of the WebHelp support (or lack of) in IE7, but
can anyone offer some advise/workaround for my problem? I'm using
images as background images in table cells (Format > Borders and
Shading > Shading) which aren't being displayed in IE7.
Thanks,

You're not working on a network, are you?
If you are, stop.
All RoboHelp activity must be done on your local
machine.
If that's not the case, come back with more details.
Good luck,
Leon

QT 7.1.3 plugin doesn't initialise properly in IE7

Since installing IE7, I have had problems with the Quicktime 7.1.3 plug-in for Internet Explorer. The issue seems to be related to the IE7 security "enhancements" but I have not been able to find a solution.
An example - if I click on a movie trailer on the QT Movies web site, I get a "Plugin Error" message that reads "An error occurred inside a plugin contained on this page". If I OK it away I get a second "Plugin Error" message that reads "The plugin did not initialize properly". If I persist in trying, IE7 will crash. This is in the "Internet" security zone for IE7.
Some probably related behaviour that I have observed: If I try to open a .mov file on a network drive with IE7 (this is in the "Local Intranet" security zone), I get a blank browser window. No error message, but nothing happens. If I open the same file on a local drive (in the "My Computer" security zone), the QT plugin and IE7 do their job properly. The weird thing here is that, once I have intialised the plugin properly in this way, I can navigate to the QT Movies web site using the same browser window and eveything works perfectly.
Is there some security setting in IE7 that I have missed? Any ideas on how to solve this problem so that the QT plugin initialises properly in the "Internet" security zone of IE7?

Yeah, this has been going on since early Nov'06, w/no response from Apple.
Read here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=725520
I don't know if Apple has abandoned their software plugin for IE or what. I'd just recommend to move on to other audio video formats that do work, as a solution does seem likely to be forthcoming from Apple.

Issue with parameter passing in ie7 to php xml

Hi
I wondered if anyone could offer a little advice what the issue is here.
I have a page with xml generated from php in a separte file and presented by a dataset in spry.
The xml is OK and in firefox it all works but ie seems to barf on it.
The situation is this:
I have a jump menu on a front page that provides a url with anumeric parameter passed like this
platforms.php?platform_id=1
This parameter is picked up by php on the platforms.php page using the $_GET Array and is passed into the code in my Spry dataset to the file that runs my query and returns my xml- so basically the page displays a dataset filtered on this parameter id.
It works perfectly in FF.
In IE if I link straight to the page without a parameter at all- so platforms.php the page loads OK using the default parameter I have set up in the top of this page to send the default id of 1 to the code page so the spry query says platform_sql.php?platform_id=1 and the xml generator is fine with thisiel. ie I do a
if(isset($_GET['platform_id'])){
$platform=$_GET['platform_id'];
}else{
$platform=1;
The dataset loads Ok in IE but when I pass a parameter in the url from my jump menu IE gives a blank SPRY table i- it momentarily appears with just the placeholders for my dataset elements then vanishes. The source code of the page shows the correct id was set in the spry data going to my query file.
There is an error in ie saying there is a javascript error but its not any help- in ie fashion- FF shown no such errors.
I thought this might be a data type thing again in the dataset but its not - I have set the elements returned to simple strings but it still does not work.
Is there a problem passing in a parameter like this to a spry dataset?

After about half a day of mucking round I found the problem and a solution to this problem.
What appeared to have happened was that some of the older content in my database used html originally encoded using a WYSWYG editor called ktml.
Later data uses Tiny MCE. It looks like the character set of the two formats is slightly different and as a result some characters rendered incorrectly when passed through XML parsing where it specifies the character set as utf-8.
Firefox on the whole seems to ignore the issue though looking at the raw xml output of my php-xml code- where "-" characters were (dashes) there was a question mark character shown. None the less in actual use on my page the xml was produced and the dataset worked out.
In IE, it barfed at these same characters and failed to return the xml dataset.
What confused the issue more was some of my smaller datasets if they by chance never had a "-" character in rendered OK in IE- hence my default dataset (platform_id=1) worked in IE. After much experimenting I noticed other ids worked too if there was never such a character.
How I got round it was to wrap my server side data in the utf8_encode() function, and now all my xml is clean.
The javascript error being thrown was a red herring though I could not tell until I managed to run my page in ie7 with Visual Studio Express error console running- I had this on a spare machine at work so could debug with it.
All sorted now- now just need to find away to wrap all my datasets in collapsible panels that work.

Applet does not get client certificate from browser (Firefox, IE7)

I'm writing a web service which runs Tomcat through Apache. One critical requirement is that the service be able to invoke certain device drivers on the end user's machine. Fortunately, there is a Java API for this, so this requirement can be fulfilled using an applet.
Here's the problem. This is a B2B application, so we're using SSL and requiring client authentication. I'm no web security guru, but I managed to get SSL set up through Apache (with a self-signed certificate for now; we'll get a real one from a real CA when we're ready to go to production). I also managed to set up client authentication by creating my own CA and generating a client certificate, which I then copied to my test client (Win XPSP2) and imported into both Firefox (2.0.0.15) and IE (6.0.2900). The applet is signed with a real certificate, and that causes no problems. And all of the pages for my web service work as expected.
All except one. The page which is supposed to load the applet pops a dialog stating 'Identification required. Please select certificate to be used for authentication', and presents a list of zero certificates.
Actually, I get this dialog in Firefox on my XPSP2 box, and also when I test on a Vista Home Premium box running IE 7.0.6000. Puzzlingly, this behavior does NOT occur on my XPSP2 box when running through IE 6.0. It seems that with XPSP2 and IE 6.0, the JVM can manage to obtain the required client certificate from the browser and pass it along to Apache, but the JVM can't do this when running in Firefox or in IE 7.0 on Vista.
I have gone to the Java Control Panel and verified that the 'Use certificates and keys in browser keystore' option is selected on both boxes.
I've done a fair amount of research for this (including in this forum) and see that this appears to be a chronic difficulty with applets. What makes it worse is that I don't think I can use the standard workaround, which is to download the applet from a different host/virtual host, because the applet needs to communicate with the web service. Since we have the additional layer of Tomcat container-managed user authentication, the applet needs to be communicating with the server using the same session token as everything else.
So at this point, I'm stuck. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Two thoughts (I'm reaching at straws here):
1) I have the certificate imported in both Firefox and IE as a 'personal' certificate. Is there someplace else I can put it so the JVM will know how to find it? A rather old thread in this forum mentioned something about setting properties in the Java Control Panel, but I see no place in the JCP to specify such properties, so I'm guessing that solution is no longer operative.
2) I'm using a trick I found on the internet to make the applet load cleanly with both Firefox and IE, namely, I'm using the <OBJECT> tag to specify the applet class and codebase for IE, and then using <COMMENT><EMBED ... /></COMMENT> within the <OBJECT> declaration to specify the information for Firefox. Is there some other way of doing the markup that will give the JVM a hint that it should get a certificate from the browser?
BTW . . . I would hate to drop support for Firefox, but if someone has an IE-only solution, I'll take it. Unfortunately, I reckon a Firefox-only solution would not fly.
Thanks all.

My applet is also signed by a valid certificate. The question of whether the applet is signed/self-signed/unsigned >isn't an issue --- I just wanted you to make sure the Applet runs because it is a know valid Java2 Applet that is 100% signed properly and verified to run.
This eliminates the possibility that it is a JVM issue. However after reading your message further I am afraid
it is not relevant to your issue.
due to the client authentication, my browser (Firefox, IE7) refuses to even download the applet.
I went to your site, and I can see your applet in both Firefox and IE6. However, I don't believe your site is set up >quite like mine, because it appears I can run your applet whether I have imported your X509 certificate or not. What I >did was:If that is true we are all dead :) No I think you just missed the cert in the IE databse. It doesn't have to be in the
Applet database to function. Surprise!
Check your IE/tools/internet options/content tab/certificates/trusted root certification authorities.
I then opened the Java control panel and verified that the certificate isn't listed there, either. So unless the certificate >is being cached/read from some other location (which could be, this certificate stuff is largely black magic to me), >then your server isn't requiring client authentication, either accidentally or by design.No HyperView is a valid java2 Applet and actually writes to a file "hyperview.dat" though it is probably empty.
If you click on a component in the view and then on the view and type "dumpgobs" it shoud write out some data about the current graphics objects so you can see it has complete read/write access..
Further it opens up a complete NIO server ands starts listening for connections on a random port
(Echoed in your java console) You can connect to it with telnet and watch impressive ping messages all day :)
This all goes back to a few years BTW back before there was a plugin and there was only Netscape & IE.
There are actually 2 certificate databases and what loads where depends on which type of cert you are using. Now self signed or not doesn't matter but what does matter is the type of certificate. IE: is it RSA/DSA/Sha1
etc. The Netscape DB was a Berkley DB and MS used whatever they use. The Cert is a DSA/Sha1 cert
which I like the best ATM as it (X fingers it stays so) always has worked.
Sadly that tidbit doesn't help you either I am afraid.
What I'm trying to do is require client authentication through Apache by including the following markup in a virtual >host definition:
SSLCACertificateFile D:/Certificates/ca.crt
SSLVerifyClient require
SSLVerifyDepth 1You got me there I avoid markup at all costs and only code in C java and assembler :)
Now unless I am wrong I think you are saying that you want the Applet to push the certificate to the server
automatically and I don't think this happens. Least I have never heard of this happening from an Applet automatically.
On my client machine, I have a certificate which was generated using OpenSSL and the ca.crt file listed. Testing >shows that the server is requiring a certificate from the client, and the web browser is always providing it.
The problem is that when the browser fires up the Java plugin to run an applet, there is not sufficient communication >between the browser and the plugin so that the plugin can obtain the certificate from the browser and provide it to >the server.
So the server refuses to send the applet bytecode to the JVM, and we're stuck.In terms of implementation ease I think you may have the cart before the horse because I think it would be far easier to run an Applet in the first place to do the authentication, and then send, for example, a jar file to bootstrap and run
(or some classes) in the event the connection is valid. Then again one never knows it all and there may be some classes which enables the plugin as you wish. I have never heard of this being done with the plugin the way you suggest.
I am thinking maybe there is another method of doing this I do not know.
Did you try pushing the cert via JavaScript/LIveConnect?? That way it could run before the Applet and do the authentication.
Maybe someone else has other ideas; did you try the security forum??
Sorry but I am afraid that is not much help.
I did snarf this tidbit which may have some relevance
The current fix for this bug in Mantis and 1.4.1_02 is using JSSE API, Here are the step:
In Java control panel, Advanced tab -> Java Runtime Parameters, specify:
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=<name and path to client keystore file>
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=<password to access this client keystore file>
If it is a PKCS12 format keystore, specify:
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=PKCS12
In our future JRE release 1.5, we will create our own client authentication keystore file for JPI and use that for client authentication, for detail info, please see RFE 4797512.

Recent loss of embedded QT movies on many page for IE7 using ActiveX object

I have many pages that allow you to select from 4 video formats including QT .mov. An example is at http://www.cwdjr.net/video4/cancanL.php . The QT object uses ActiveX when on IE only(I use Windows conditional comments) and an ordinary object for most other browsers. Until sometime very recently all of these pages worked when you select the QT file. Now QT works on none of them. I suspected the problem might be due to a very recent Windows XP update which is a large one including .NET updates and other things(K8951847) X 86. I was able to restore to a day before this update, but this did not solve the problem. Of course some portions of some updates can not be removed be restoring to an earlier time, so the result does not prove the update was not at fault.
The involved pages are mostly written in php on the server, so you will not be able to see very much by viewing the source code. To make the problem more simple to view, I made a test page for QT only and with the ActiveX object only. Thus this test page can not be viewed on most browsers that do not support ActiveX. The test page is at http://www.cwdjr.info/broadbandMedia/formatsAX/qtmovtest2.php . Since I serve pages as valid xhtml 1.1 using the correct mime type application xhtml+xml, no IE browser can view the page, since no IE browser can support xhtml served properly. Thus I have a php include at the very top for header exchange between the browser and server. If this says the page does not support the mime type for xhtml, then php using regular expressions, etc is used to rewrite the page as html 4.01 strict for the outmoded browser. Thus don't be surprised if you find some pages in xhtml and others in html when you check properties.
The ActiveX object used for QT on the test page is below:
QT MOV
(CLICK ABOVE LINK IF NO PLAYER)
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="400" height="295" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="kioskmode" value="true" />
<param name="src" value="http://www.cwdjr.info/movie/cancan.mov" />
</object>
Once the page comes up on IE7, it is rather slow to respond. Then it gives:
"Web site wants to install the following ActiveX control: 'Quick Time' from 'Apple Inc'".
If you do try to install, nothing happens. In contrast to my regular pages, I added the code show above just before the start of the object. Clicking this on will bring up the QT video, but of course it is not embedded on the desired page. This may work as a temporary fix for IE. I likely can hide it from other browsers by enclosing it in Microsoft conditional comments.
I would be interested if anyone else has had such a problem recently or any ideas concerning this strange response on IE7. I am talking about viewing the page on the server. Since this is a php page it can be viewed locally only if you have a server installed on your computer and I do not. The pages with the first url example given above have operated well on IE7, Firefox, Opera, Safari for Windows, Flock, K-Meleon, Google Chrome and SeaMonkey. There are a few players that have some issues with some of the formats, but this and the fact that some players may not be installed is the reason for offering the video in 4 formats. I sometimes offer high broadband versions as well as low broadband versions.
It seems I spend more time correcting IE issues than for all of the other mentioned browsers combined.

Thanks for the reference. I use nearly no JS anymore, since it often causes problems with true xhtml served properly even when you use external script files. Often one can use php script on the server and avoid these problems. When one serves as true xhtml using the correct mime type of application/xhtml+xml, the page is parsed with a very strict xml parser rather than a loose-as-a-goose html parser. (If one serves a page written in xhtml code as mime text/html, as is incorrectly done perhaps 99% of the time, you are using only html, not xhtml, and are fooling only yourself. The page is parsed as html instead of xhtml.) The xml parser has to be very strict to account for any possible xml content. Even a single, or even several, errors often will not prevent a html page from showing, but even a single error on an xhtml page served properly will often get an error report from the xml parser rather than a view of the page. One of the most laughable examples of misunderstanding of this issue is the home page of Microsoft. It claims to be xhtml. However it is served as text/html and thus would be better written in html 4.01 in the first place. Moreover, if you validate the page as xhtml at w3c, you find hundreds of xhtml errors. If Microsoft served their home page properly as application/xhtml+xml it of course would not work on any IE browser, at least through IE7, since none of these IE browsers can handle true xhtml. In addition the page likely would not show up on any browser if served as true xhtml until all of the hundreds of xml and other errors on the page were corrected. Instead, one likely would get a very long error report rather than a view of the page.
Back to JS, document.write will not work in properly served xhtml, because it easily could produce code with XML errors. For instance it might produce code that contains an unclosed tag, which is a major xml error that can cause an xml device to malfunction. The xml parser thus rightly finds document.write as an error and prevents viewing of the page. However one often can generate the same code as document.write would produce on a browser with php on the server. The finished code is what gets downloaded to the browser, so the xml parser can check everything in the finished code rather than quess what a JS document.write might produce. And don't think you can sweep document.write under the rug by using an external JS file. The very strict xml parser finds it.
Of course embed has never been a w3c tag, but rather is a bad hangover from the browser war era, a gift of Netscape. No page that includes embed can validate as w3c xhtml or xml of any flavor, at least through xhtml 1.1. However the page may work, despite the error, if server as text/html.
All I know is that something has happened recently that has caused my problem to surface. It likely has to do with some change in the XP OS or IE browser. I have tried viewing several pages written by others that use many types of code for .mov, and all of them I have viewed that use an ActiveX embed for the benefit of IE now have the problem I mentioned. If anyone else with XP and nearly all updates, including the very recent one I mentioned, and the most recent version of QT has had this problem, I could be more confident that the problem comes from an external source. If not, it is still possible the sudden change could be something concerning a specific issue that has developed in my computer.
Again, thanks for the JS reference. Some of this likely can translate into php so I can compare how the JS and php server script I am using relate.

XML Dataset whit spry:if works in IE8 but not in IE6,IE7 and IE9

Hello,
I have bigs problem with my site created using SPRY framework and the filters functions.
My pages works properly in IE8, Safari, firefox, chrome, ecc but not in IE6 and IE7.
In IE9 works only in "compatibility mode"
This page is an example:
http://www.digidevice.com/P_IT/IT-Prodotti01.html
in the browser ok there is a list of items, in the other that don't works there is only a void rectangle.
In this page one example with code depured by formatting:
http://www.digidevice.com/P_IT/IT-Prodotti01_PROVADATASET2.html
Thanks in advance

Hi, i have a similar problem..
These URL returns a XML:
1) http://www.bolsadesantiago.com/intradayServlet?symbol=IPSA
2) http://www.valorfuturo.com/contenidos_vf/proyectos/clientes/penta/titularnoticias.asp
I use a CS4 and both works in preview, but only first works over internet (IE7).
I suspect that 2° has a problem of syntax XML, but work with jQuery.

Web site not displaying correctly in IE7 or lower

Hi. I uploaded my site and thought everything was fine with it. I'm running IE8 and it looks fine for me, but then I checked it on another computer that has IE7 and the formatting looks incorrect. The main content area is way low - you have to scroll down to see it and the banner at the top has a blue line through it - which I think is really just a space with a blue background.... Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks so much.

Flashhelp Access Problem with IE7 Beta

When I generate a Flashhelp helppage, I cannot view it,
whether in IE or Firefox or Opera. I always get a message that
Macromedia Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe
application. I go to the Flash Settings site, but i'm clueless what
is not set correctly.
The error message is that wf_master.swf is trying to
communicate with internet-enabled wf_master.htm.
I confess, I haven't used Flashhelp in many months, but it
used to work. The only thing that I can remember changing is
upgrading to IE7 Beta a week or so ago. I'm using Robohelp X5 with
Windows XP Pro SP2. Any ideas on how to get by this will be
appreciated. Other formats work fine. thanks,
david

Hi david
For starters, it's not the browser, it's probably Flash
Player version 8. Secondly, unless you are deploying your FlashHelp
to each local users' PC, you should have no issues with your users
seeing this message and having to deal with it. It only happens
with locally installed files. If you are deploying to a server and
your users are accessing from there, you should be fine. Typically,
this is corrected by adding the main FlashHelp folder to the list
of "safe" folders on the Flash settings page. Drawing from memory
here, but there is a link on the left where you choose Global
settings. Then across the middle is an option button you need to
select. I believe there are three and it's the middle option. Then
you click the drop down and browse to the folder containing your
FlashHelp and click Add to add this folder to the white list.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Auto numbering issue works fine in IE8 but not works in IE7 word apps plugin

Hi,
I have uploaded a word template on Share Point 2010 environment. In the view mode I am able to see the automated numbering however when I am
trying to select the edit mode, I cannot see the same behavior in IE7 means that the number format is disappear.But when copy text from the edit mode and paste it into local document it show the numbering.
It's working fine in IE8 .
Thanks in advance.

Hi SatyaMogalaou,
Whether this issue occurred on other machines with IE7.
Please set the site to Compatibility view on IE7, compare the result.
If this issue still exists, I suggest you update your IE 7 to IE 8+ for your SharePoint 2010.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Date Format for Spry data set sort

Hi
Just feeling my way through the use of Spry Datasets for the
first time and have a couple of issues hopefully someone with more
knowledge of it than me know the answer to.
I had an issue with my Spry Dataset initially that it would
not work in ie7 but was OK in FF3.
After some mucking round I realised the error I was getting -
albeit obscure in IE was telling me it was a date format issue in
my data set.
The db data I am playing with here is fairly simple: I have a
couple of text fields, an integer field that contains the
unixtimestamp of the entry (its a simple diary application) and a
formal date field that holds the same date in mysql's date format.
When I display the date in the dataset I do so in the format
"23rd May 2009" (as an example)- I code this using phps date
function in my xml query.
I had set this field to date format in the Spry dataset
conditions but IE seems to barf on this- I can change it to
textstring but then my sort is done on Alpha/Numeric sort of the
first character in the date field which is rubbish.
I only display the date in this format and one of the other
text fields in my dataset- the unixdate is for programmatic
purposes not general display so I cannot sort on this field if its
invisible. How can I acheive a date based sort with this set up- or
what date formats does Spry code prefer for date sorts? (My client
wants the date to show as I have explained). Many thanks. I have a
second query which I will post separately!

You can take a look at this page:
http://visual.unipv.it/tmt_calendar/admin/reports/events.cfm
Even if all the dates here are incidentally using the
yyyy-mm-dd format, the
dataset display the date from the "start_date_formatted"
field:
<td><a href="javascript:"
onclick="showUpdate('{event_id}')">{start_date_formatted}</a></td>
But uses another field to sort the table:
<th scope="col" spry:sort="start_date">Start
date</th>
You can have the same date, using two different formats,
inside two,
separated dataset fields. One is used for display, the other
one is used for
sort.
You may try to read again my previous explanations, look at
the code in the
page above and see if you get the idea.

Chain certificate : PKCS#7 format

I have received set of certificates from CA. I have added all the certs except the chain into ACE chaingroup configuration. https is working fine without issues. Do I need to install the chain certificate as well. Chain is given in PKCS#7 format whereas ACE does not accept PKCS#7. Please suggest.

Well I haven't had any luck getting an iPhone to present an SSL certificate to an IIS7 ASP.Net webserver.
The same .p12 certificate works on IE7, PocketIE (WM6), Firefox and Safari (PC version). The website is set to Require an SSL certificate. From the Windows Mobile or PC browsers, you get a prompt for the client certificate. I have tried Nick's website and the iPhone will prompt to choose between his and my certificates, however with IIS7 you just get a 403.7 client SSL certificate required error.
I have turned on SSL tracing in HTTP.Sys and get the following (edited for length) :
<Opcode>SslInititateSslRcvClientCert</Opcode>
- <Keywords>
<Keyword>Flagged on all HTTP events handling ssl interactions</Keyword>
</Keywords>
<Task>HTTP SSL Trace Task</Task>
<Message>Server application is attempting to receive the SSL client certificate, which will be provided if available. If the client certificate is not available, a renegotiation will be initiated.</Message>
<Channel>HTTP Service Channel</Channel>
<Provider>Microsoft-Windows-HttpService</Provider>
... then after various SSL negotiations and receive raw data traces I see...
<Opcode>SslRcvClientCertFailed</Opcode>
- <Keywords>
<Keyword>Flagged on all HTTP events handling ssl interactions</Keyword>
</Keywords>
<Task>HTTP SSL Trace Task</Task>
<Message>Attempt by server application to receive client certificate failed with status: 0xC0000225.</Message>
<Channel>HTTP Service Channel</Channel>
<Provider>Microsoft-Windows-HttpService</Provider>
Which basically seems to mean a "not found" error.
Anyone had any luck with iPhone to IIS 7 (which we have to use as it is an ASP.Net website)?

WebI XI 3.1 Report does not fresh in IE6 but it does in IE7

Short Text
WebI Report Does Not Refresh in IE6
Long Text
BO XI 3.1 Windows Server 2003 x64, XP Desk tops with a mixture of IE6
and IE 7.
We have a universe with managed access rights enables at the group
level. The groups we have are: Batu, AUS, and Admin. When someone logs
in as TEST_USER_BATU (user is in the Batu group) the report does not
refresh. The LOVs can be refresh but the report comes back blank. When
we repeat the same work flow in IE7 the report comes back with data.
We have repeated this test on several computers including the servers
running IE6.
Steps for Reconstruction
1)Create Universe with managed access restrictions
2)Restrict groups at the row level including LOVs (see below example)
2.a) Batu Group
2.b) AUS Group
2.c) Admin Group
3) Create restrictions for the Batu and AUS group only.
4)Create generic WebI report applicable for all groups
5) Run WebI Report using a different account for each account in
different group.
6) You will find that the users in the restricted groups can not
refresh the report but the user in the admin group can run the report

Hi all,
Thanks for your responses but nothing seems to be working.
@Mark, Sahil: The properties of the field is set as type "DATE" in the universe.
@Manpreet: Not feasible with timestamp data.
@Anuj: I tried your solution. But it does not work. Its really weird. The date part of the string gets sorted but the time part does not. I have tried splitting the data into date and time into 2 seperate variables and then sorting them, but still the time does not get sorted. The time is also converted to 24 hour format. I have also tried removing the blanks in the data between date and time and converting the same to number. No effect.
Any other ideas?
Kind regards,
Minuj

Spry Tables and Xml Data Sets viewed in IE7

Has anyone ever run into a problem with Spry Tables and Xml
Data Sets viewed in IE7? Work fine in IE6 and Firefox, but get the
error "exception caught while loading feed.xml: [object Error]" in
IE 7. Any ideas?
Attached is the xml I'm using.
Thanks

I came looking for the answer to this question. I could not
find an answer. Eventually I found it the answer that worked for
me, a graphic designer with not much experience in xml.
The following url provided an errata file in PDF format:
www.peachpit.com/dwcs3cib
which includes the following addendum to the incomplete
instructions in the book i was using to learn about spry:
"If Internet Explorer 7 is your primary browser, you'll nee
to take some extra steps to view spry dynamic content locally.
First, your site must be within the local server webroot; be sure
your Lessons folder is stored within the Inetpub>wwwroot folder.
Next, double-click the site name in the files panel to open the
Site Definition dialogue. Click the Testing Server category; from
the Access List choose Local/Network. Click Okay to close the Site
Definition dialogue. Now, when you preview your page with Internet
Explorer, your local Web server (localhost) serves the page as
designed."
Horray for me! Now i can move on from here and actually get
some work done!

IE7 fails to open flash

I found the following MSDN registry fix which resolved the
issue of IE7 not loading (viewing) .swf flash files. I accomplished
BOTH registry changes, however the second one fixed the problem. As
indicated below MSDN will have a follow up KN article on this
issue. This is an IE7 Security issue not present in previous
versions. Here is a link to the MSDN Internet Explorer Developement
forum. I used iexplore.exe as the process name for both reg edits.

I suggest Adobe look into this. There are hundreds of
inqueries/blogs online and this is the only fix I have found. I
posted here to get the widest distribution.

A KB article is coming out shortly about this issue. However,
here's the short version:
This error is occurring because of an unforeseen dependency
between an IE6 XPSP2 security feature (Local Machine Zone Lockdown)
and a new IE7 security feature designed to protect users from
improper cross-domain access to their local file system. Until the
dependency is corrected, users may correct the problem through one
of two possible workarounds (below).
Workaround:
Two options are available—each option has a potential
side-effect. The first option is to opt-in the 3rd party
application into the Local Machine Zone Lockdown feature control
key. This is the recommended option. It allows the 3rd party
application experiencing the problem to be more secure by
tightening restrictions on several URL actions that make the local
file system zone more protected than the Internet Zone (this has
potential compatibility implications). Users should read
Compatibility in IE6 for Windows XP SP2 under the section Local
Machine Zone Lockdown, for more information.
To opt-in to Local Machine Zone Lockdown:
1. Click “Start”, “Run”.
2. Enter “regedit”
3. Find and select the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Internet Explorer
MAIN
FeatureControl
FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN
4. Click “Edit”, “New”, and
“DWORD”
5. The name should be set to the process name of the
application experiencing the problem. For example, if the
application is mybrowser.exe, then enter
“mybrowser.exe” (without the quotes)
6. The Value (double-click on the newly created entry) should
be set to “1” (this opts the process into this feature,
enabling the workaround)
7. Close the Registry Editor
8. Close all open instances of the affected process (and IE)
and restart the program.
The second option is to opt-out of the new cross-domain
protection feature (which blocks access to scripts on the local
file system). Opting your application out of this feature leaves it
vulnerable to web sites that may scan your computer looking for
script files or other information. If your application is designed
to host arbitrary content, this option is not recommended.
To opt-out of the cross-domain protection feature:
1. Click “Start”, “Run”.
2. Enter “regedit”
3. Find and select the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Internet Explorer
MAIN
FeatureControl
4. Click “Edit”, “New”, and
“Key”
5. Enter FEATURE_BLOCK_LMZ_SCRIPT
6. Next, click “Edit”, “New”, and
“DWORD”
7. The name should be set to the process name of the
application experiencing the problem. For example, if the
application is mybrowser.exe, then enter
“mybrowser.exe” (without the quotes)
8. The Value (double-click on the newly created entry) should
be set to “0” (this opts the process out of this
feature, enabling the workaround)
9. Close the Registry Editor
10. Close all open instances of the affected process (and IE)
and restart the program.

Please post this in the flash player newsgroup/forum, this
group is for the
swf format itself (not players) ... so the people who really
need to be
reading this won't see it.

IE7 on Vista Blocks Spry Menu Widget

I have built 2 sites using Dreamweaver, one is a complete
copy of an Adobe tutorial. They both have a horizontal spry menu widget. They are both fine in live view and when viewed in firefox. But when I try them in IE7 (I am running on Vista) then the submenus won't appear and the IE message "IE has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX etc" appears
IE7 has lowest (medium) security setting and this doesn't happen when generally browsing web sites which have horizontal menus/submenus
I am seeking reassurance that this is not something which always occurs with Spry Menu widget because if so they would be as much use as a chocolate teapot.
Assuming this is something "funny" is it likely to be a peculiarity of my PC/IE/Op system. I did see another post recently where someone was getting a problem with their Spry menu but when viewed by users on this forum there wasn't a problem. Any specific suggestions would be very much appreciated.
On my own web page (not the tutorial) I also have a formatting issue in IE but that is probably something where I need to work through the CSS.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian

Arnout - thanks for your lightning fast reply. I was just about to take this down because I had
found this in another post. And when you know the answer it sounds like a rather foolish post!
Because there are so many IE Spry issues its hard to find these answers.
Anyway, thanks again,
Adrian
