Internet Explorer 9 Beta - Anyone using it? Thoughts?

Internet Explorer 9 Beta is very chrome-like visually. The interface has transformed towards the minimalist approach first seen in Google Chrome. It definitely looks pretty and feels faster than ever before. I just hope Microsoft plans to update it regularly once it launches officially in order to keep up with the fast pace of evolution that Firefox and Chrome have demonstrated while steadily dwindling away at Microsoft's once dominant browser usage.
I recommend giving IE9 beta a try, it's not just the browser you use to down the browser you want to use anymore, maybe

I use it at home, and I am completely impressed. The hardware accelleration was a bonus, as I hoped it improved flash performance for my wife in facebook games; farmville, etc. So far it works, but there are occasional reloads, etc, that need to be done not common with Firefox or Chrome. Overall interface is almost precisely like Chrome - it seems a mirror copy with only a branding and icon set change. There are a few additional features but none I'd ever use. As this is a beta version, I'm insure stability will improve over time.
At this point I'd say IE has *caught up* with the likes of Chrome, etc, which might excite Chrome into implementing a few extra changes itself. I would not say that IE has broken any new ground, but it has been 'put back' in my list of browsers I swap through, for reasons of best performance per application.

Flash 10.1 Freeze Internet Explorer when I use strokemediaplayback in intranet

When I test flash in my company intranet(cannot link internet),I found the flash will freeze the IE.
I found this when:
I open a page include flash content which use strokemediaplayback to play a movie.
The content page locate on my IIS server(not local computer).
I close IE in the first 40seconds, then IE didnot response for many seconds(about 40seconds).
I watch the Tcp connect. I found flash connect to a25-252-224-80.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com and a25-252-224-90.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com, and wait for tcp syc timeout when I do above testing.
And, I found when I test strokemediaplayback on my local computer above not happening.
Even I close the flash autoupdate in mms.cfg. Flash still connect to a25-252-224-80.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com and a25-252-224-90.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com,and wait for connect fail.
Who can answer me ,how can I do for stop this?
I test on Internet Explorer 8,and Flash 10.1.102.64 and Flash 10.1.53.64.

Update: the problem mysteriously disappeared - no clue to why.

Internet Explorer hangs when using CrystalReportViewer in an IFRAME

Post Author: ME-DSZ
CA Forum: .NET
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 Service Pack 0
Create an aspx page (CRViewer.aspx) with one CrystalReportViewer that shows a report. E. g.:
<body><form id="form1" runat="server"><div style="height: 100%;"><CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server" AutoDataBind="True"GroupTreeImagesFolderUrl="" ReportSourceID="CrystalReportSource1" ToolbarImagesFolderUrl=""ToolPanelWidth="200px" Width="100%" Height="100%" BestFitPage="False" /><CR:CrystalReportSource ID="CrystalReportSource1" runat="server"><Report FileName="Report.rpt"></Report></CR:CrystalReportSource></div></form></body>
If you test this page all the functionality of the cr-viewer works fine.
Then i tried to show this page in a second page in an iframe element: E. g.:
<body><form id="form1" runat="server"><div><p>some other stuff</p></div><div id="divWrapper"> <iframe id="ifReport" runat="server" height="300px" width="100%" src="CRViewer.aspx"></iframe></div></form></body>
If you click any button on the CrystalReportViewer Toolbox Internet Explorer 7 hangs with 100 % CPU. Firefox shows an error:
Unable to process your request
I tested this with buildin Webserver of Visual Studio 2008 and hosted in IIS (7.0).
After some experimenting and javascript debugging i think i found the reason. This behaviour happens only if you set the width of CrystalReportViewer to 100% (only in the iframe scenario).
This is causing in "allInOne.js" an infinite loop (in function -> signal: function(src, sig))...)

Internet Explorer 9 stops using PAC File

Hi,
several machines that have Internet Explorer 9 installed suddenly stopped connecting to the internet using a PAC file. Chrome as well as Firefox
work with the PAC file set in IE, setting a static proxy adress in the Proxyserver field in IE works too for all browsers including IE9.
I tried reverting to IE 8 which seems to accept the PAC, after reinstalling IE9 it stops working again, i tried both a local file as well as a PAC
hosted on a web server, to no avail. PAC file is tested on all 3 browsers and works on 99% of the Win 7 computers, so its not a problem with the syntax, im at a loss of idea here.
Path set for the PAC File://C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\Proxy.pac
Does someone have an idea how to fix this or some way to troubleshoot this problem any further?
Thanks in advance.

Adjusting Internet Explorer settings when used within VFP9

I have created a form and placed and OLEControl OleClass Shell.Explorer.2 into it.
I can using statements like
Thisform.HTMLViewer.Navigate(m.tcUrl)
m.loDocument = Thisform.HTMLViewer.Object.Document
get to show web pages and get access to properties and attributes within the web Document.
However, I am finding that numerous web pages (not under my control) contain Scripting errors.
When using standalone IE under the Options settings I have "Display a notification about every script error" turned off.
However, when using IE within the VFP9 form I get an IE dialog showing me all these Script errors on the sited visited.
Does anyone know how to turn these off within the VFP9 OleControl environment?
Any examination of the OleControl object does not show anything that is likely to have the desired effect.
The English Bob

Silent is all about script errors, as it seems.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<script lang="Javascript">
w1 = window.open("http://www.microsoft.com", "Popup", "width=800,height=300,resizable=yes");
w1.focus(); </script>
</body>
</html>
Loading this into a web browser control the Microsoft site pops up, even when setting Silent = .T.
Even simpler alert('test'); also shows up.

Internet Explorer Beta 8

When trying to access buzzword of the acrobat.com modules
with IE 8 Beta, all that comes up is a solid black screen. OK with
Firefox.

Hello Serendippity,
Thanks for posting.
I am not sure off-hand that IE8 beta is fully supported yet
with Acrobat.com
Good to know that Firefox is working ok for you.
Which Operating System are you using? XP? Vista?
We've had users report another solution for the Blackscreen
issue.
If you are having the Black Screen issue for any reason,
before you try anything else, delete the global Flash settings.sol
file usually found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys
After deleting the file first go directly to
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
which will test Flash and verify your version. Most
importantly, it will build a new, generic settings.sol.
Give that a try, and maybe even a reinstall of your Flash
player.
Let us know how it goes!
Cheers,
Pete

How to invoke Internet Explorer and Adobe using OLE2

Hi all
We have to call IE and adobe using OLE2.
how to do that ?
Is it like how we do for word or excel. We tried that way but not working.
e.g:
app := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('IExplore.Application');
please help us.
Thnx and regards
Sriram

The commands you pass are specific to the OLE service, so its not really a Forms question but a question for the OLE provider.
Having said that - the questions I would ask is what are you trying to do? If you want to launch IE and display a PDF document you can do that with web.show_document. OLE will only work on the server and so the clients would not see IE if you were using OLE.

Internet Explorer Restarts when useing Facebook Games

Issue Facebook Games I.E; Wild One and others IE restarts at diffrent intervolts when useing games that use Flash Player
Win XP Pro.
256GB Mem
IE 8 Flash 10,1
New Windown Install (With in 4 Months)
Minimum amount of programs installed on computer.
I checked Execrator Situatiom, Memory, Video Settings and I swap out the Video Card and still the same Problum. tryed Compatability Mode (In, IE Tools)
I.E. will restart at diffrent times in diffrent Games when useing facebook games that uses Flash Some times I can play for a while with no problums and other times I can't get a break.

Hi, thank you. I think what you are describing is the page that you are on at that particular website is "refreshing". At least that is what is sounds like to me. The same as if you used the key F5 or the icon at the top of your toolbar.
Does this happen on all of the games on Facebook or just some? I'm not sure exactly why this happens and can only guess unless I did some research on the subject. The particular game is very busy or perhaps it is using a lot of resources. The next time it happens, you might want to bring the Task Manager up and see what that application is using under processes.
Also I would not have more than one window open, since some of the games use a lot of resources.
I wish I could help you more, but I don't use Facebook or any of the games. I would certainly check the Task Manager. At least that may give you a clue as to what is going on.
Perhaps someone that has more information will see your thread and help you further.
Thanks,

Do I need Internet Explorer security updates if I use Firefox?

Hello!
I cannot find an answer to this question through a Google search so I'm asking it here please. I'm using Windows 7 and see lots of regular updates for Internet Explorer being installed. But I never use Internet Explorer, I only use Firefox. So I wanted to know, will I be putting my Firefox security at risk by not installing Internet Explorer updates released through Windows Upate? Does a flaw in one browser affect another?
Thank you!
Alice.

Thank you for your quick reply jscher2000. Your advice makes sense, I'll keep updates for Internet Explorer going. It was just something I was curious about. For example, if someone used both Firefox and Chrome, would a flaw in one affect another? And whilst Googling earlier for an answer for my question before posting (didn't want to waste anyone's time with a repetitive question), I noticed some people have completely uninstalled Internet Explorer, so presumably they won't even be offered any IE updates.
Thanks again!
Alice.

Using Quicken to manage a bank account, I get an error message from the bank that cookies and javascript must be enabled, but I don't get that message when I connect with Internet Explorer.

Firefox allows me to get the bank home page through Quicken. But when I try to login, the error message appears saying "cookies and javascript" must be enabled. I have Java on my system, but in Firefox under "tools/options/ I don't find any way to "enable" javascript. I have enabled "cookies".
I have no problem logging in at the bank site using Internet Explorer, but to use it, I have to designate it as the "default browser" before connecting through Quicken. I'd rather keep Firefox as the default.
A bank tech representative was unable to find any commands in Firefox that would deal with this problem, although she clearly had manuals for both Internet Explorer and Firefox. So she concluded that I would have to use Explorer for this operation, since it allowed control of security level settings. She said that in Explorer, security level should be set to medium.
Is there some similar control in Firefox?

Firefox uses the same "security level" setting that is set in IE.
Tools > Options > '''Content''' <br />
Is '''Enable Javascript''' check-marked?

If that doesn't solve your problem, do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

On Yahoo Groups, Internet Explorer show a clipboard function for posting photos. When using Firefox the clipboard doesn't show up, so you can't post photos.

On Yahoo Groups, using Internet Explorer, one can use a clipboard function to post photos to messages. When using Firefox, the clipboard doesn't appear and you cannot post photos on group messages.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

There hasn't been an IE that would work on a Mac since 2002. The only way to use IE today is to run Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

I keep getting a system error. I have set all of my activex controls. I am using Internet Explorer 8

I keep getting a system error. I have done everything the website said to do. I even tried to call at pay $39 for help. The website states they are open on Saturdays, the customer service rep just told me otherwise. I am a teacher that music have the flashplayer. Help, please.

What is your Windows version? 32-bit or 64-bit?
Internet Explorer: you must use the 32-bit version, regardless of your OS version.
What is the exact error you get, and what are you doing when you get that error?

Images made into links (in divs) not working in Internet Explorer but works in Firefox. help!

Hey guys,
The text links are fine, but the image links don't work in internet explorer. Anyone know why this is happening?
Sample code:
<a href="facebook"><div class="fb"><img src="Facebook.png" /></div></a>
The link links to another HTML in my site

If you anticipate having more questions, a great self help is to validate your code, that is, test your code against the rules set for the particular DOCTYPE you are using.
http://validator.w3.org/
"you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
In this case it would have pointed out that you can't put a <div> inside an <a>.
Best wishes,
