Support for Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 (after April 8, 2014)

Hi,
I am aware that Microsoft will stop supporting Internet Explorer 8 on April 8 2014 (the same date that Windows XP support stops).
We are running Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8 as the browser.
We have not installed Internet Explorer 9 or above due to compatibility issues with internal intranet systems.
I have been trying to find out if machines that have Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8 installed, will still receive newly detected Internet Explorer 8 Microsoft Security Patches from Microsoft following April 8, 2014. This information has been difficult
to determine on the internet.
Do you know if machines that have Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8 installed, will still receive newly detected Internet Explorer 8 Microsoft Security Patches from Microsoft following April 8, 2014?
If there are any websites that you are aware of that answer either Yes or No to this question, I would appreciate if you could paste their link(s) here.
Thanks,
Brian.

MS don't stop supporting IE8 on April 8 2014, they stop supporting WindowsXP on that date.
If you have IE8 installed on WindowsXP, the platform becomes unsupported, as well as everything that shipped with the platform or that is installed on the platform.
IE when installed on a supported platform, is supported in line with the support status of that platform.

So, at this point in time of posting, if your platform is Windows7, IE8/9/10/11 on that platform attracts this EOS date:

Dropping support for Internet Explorer 8, and Firefox 20.x or below

Starting April 30th, we will discontinue support for all Internet Explorer 8 versions and all Firefox 20 versions and below. In order to continue using Business Catalyst Admin user interface without problems, you and your clients need to upgrade to a more recent browser:
Download Internet Explorer
Download Safari
Download Chrome
Download Firefox

Thanks for your reply Shay.
We plan to officially support IE8 with the next patch release to JDeveloper 11g - currently planned for later this year.That matches what I wrote in my initial post in this forum thread about IE8 support.
We usually only certify browsers after they officially go production.That does not really answer my question (q1) in this forum thread.
It is more like, how can I assess that Oracle will support any successor(s) of IE8 or successor(s) of any currently supported browsers for ADF 11g applications in the future? How long will Oracle support "commonly used browsers" for an ADF 11g application I build today, so how long will I be able to use that application?
How do I answer such questions for ADF 11g applications that should be deployed on the internet (where, as some extranet environments, you typically have not that much (or no) control over which browsers your users use ... although some would like to argue with that, see forum thread "ADF Faces RC browser support and browser market share")?
(By the way, do you have any feedback for the forum thread "ADF 10g support for Internet Explorer 8"?)

ADF 10g support for Internet Explorer 8

hi
Working with Oracle support (in SR 7732252.994) we first reached this conclusion ...
"Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 is not a supported for the ADF Faces applications built using JDeveloper 10.1.3.5.0"
When I subsequently asked ...
"Will there be a JDeveloper 10g release (post 10.1.3.5.0) that will support IE8 ?"
... the answer was ...
"Jdeveloper 10.1.3.5 is the last release in the Jdeveloper 10g branch and there will be no more releases after 10.1.3.5.
Therefore, there will be no support for IE 8 in the Jdeveloper 10g branch."
question
(q1)What is supposed to happen to ADF 10g production applications deployed in an environment that allows little control over the browser that is used (extranet/internet)?
many thanks

ADF 11g support for Internet Explorer 8 plus x

hi
Given the current situation for ADF 10g, see forum thread "ADF 10g support for Internet Explorer 8" ...
at ADF 10g support for Internet Explorer 8
... I was wondering about the future browser support in ADF 11g.
(Specifically about IE8 the knownissues.html document for JDeveloper and ADF 11g (11.1.1.1.0) currently says "Internet Explorer 8 is neither supported nor certified. If you must use IE8, set the compatibility view settings in your IE8 browser to ALL. In IE8, go to the Tools menu -> Compatibility View Settings and check the last checkbox "Display All Websites In Compatibility View"." and "... IE8 support should be in the upcoming first patch set. ..." Re: PanelStretchLayout on IE8.)
question
(q1) What is the life expectancy of applications built with ADF (Faces) 11g in regard to their future browser support?
many thanks

Error whil re-playing the coded ui test cases for internet explorer download window

Hi,
I have to create a test automation project which opens the IE and downloads file.
I have recorded all the steps to download the file to local folder.
My requirement is I need to download the file to a specific folder and compare those files.
When I tried to replay the recorded step I am getting error while changing the folder location.
I can change the file name dynamically but cant change the folder path as the click event of address bar fails.
I have recorded below steps
Click on Save drop down
Click on Save As
Pop up opens as shown
I can change the file name at run tims by passing the file name as parameter and it is accepting
but when I try to change the address it thorws error stating could not find the control with given search properties. I have to pass the folder path as parameter to the test case.
Please help me in resolving this error.
Thanks,
Meenakshi Nagpal

Hi Meenakshi Nagpal,
>>When I tried to replay the recorded step I am getting error while changing the folder location.
According to your description, could you please tell me how you record these UI actions for coded UI test? Is it handing code or using coded UI test Builder?
Could you please tell me if you are recording these actions and then you change the folder location or you change the folder location by handing code after you finished these actions recording and then get the error?
About your issue, I tried to download file to a specific folder using coded UI test builder, I found that it can playback successfully.
If you are hand coding your coded UI test, I suggest that you can try to record these steps using Coded UI Test Builder. Then
generate the code and then try to playback check if you can download the file into the
specific folder.
In addition, about this error: could not find the control with given search properties. I doubt that the target control did not be found by the searchproperties.
So I suggest you can try to add more searchproperties for the target control check this issue again.
I suggest you can also use DrawHighlight Method to check if the correct control is found
before you perform actions on the target control.
I find a blog about how to troubleshooting Record and Playback issues in Coded UI Test, you can refer it.

Problem in loading Adobe Flash for Internet Explorer 9 Windows 7 64 bit

Any one can advise what can I do?

Dear benlim18,
IE 9 is a Microsoft product which is under beta test.It is supposed to fix the bugs of IE 8.Thus,if you use it,then it is at your own risk.I guess if you post this concern in the microsoft support forum,I'm pretty sure you will have lots of help available.Search it starting at support.microsoft.com.
Although I work for HP, the above inputs are from my personal judgments and doesn't represent HP inputs or judgements.

Portal and Support for Internet Explorer 8

Hi,
We have three Portals, different versions:
EP6 SP19
EP7 SP9
EP7 SP15
Is IE 8 supported?
Thanks, Neeta

Hi,
first, check the PAM Matrix (service.sap.com/pam).
EP6 -> No
EP7 -> depends ...
IE8 also has a compatibility mode that will make him behave more like IE7. So, if the EP SPS version is supported with IE7, the changes are good that IE8 will also work with the EP version ...
If something is not working, use a supported version of IE.

Tobias

How to restore Adobe Flash Player for 32 bit Internet Explorer of Windows 8.1 64 bit?

Default Windows 8.1 64 bit install runs Internet Explorer 11 32 bit and all it's features, but slight disturbance for install of integrated applications runs user in such a trouble of loopback which he or she cannot escape, because problem application doesn't
runs for Windows or for it's programs, won't show it's Windows existence but wouldn't allow install of it's new software, I could only install complete new program for Windows program to run desired object.
I am using Rocket browser for Internet Explorer 11 32 bit because of problem of Adobe Flash Player uninstall or install.
But how many applications do I have to search, trial and if at all successful install for use because of problems of such applications of Windows?

As we have reviewed in other threads on the same topic. Internet Explorer for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 make use of separate management and content processes which on the desktop in a 64 bit environment are 64 bit and 32 bit respectively.
This is explained here on the IEInternals blog.
In most scenarios, the multiple processes are entirely transparent to the browsing experience. 32 bit addons continue to load and interact as expected with the content processes in which they are run and web scripts which detect browser architecture continue
to function, detecting a 32 bit browser.
In the Modern UI experience, the scenario is even more transparent as support for addons such as Flash and JavaScript are integrated into the 64 bit processes and updated through standard Windows Updates.

Answer for problem simply Got it !
Internet Explorer 11 needs websites 'Trusted', add all pages in need of running addons, and rest Windows operating system handles.
Now I am listening to songs on Windows Media Player (T3 skin) from a website which earlier messaged Adobe Flash Player not installed refusing playing songs, but now running programs without installing Adobe Flash Player.

OLE broken after Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer KB3003057

Our product has been using the IWebBrowser OLE interface for many years but has failed since Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer KB3003057. What do we need to do to get this IWebBrowser interface working again.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752127(v=vs.85).aspx
When we try to use the Navigate function it causes general access violations such.
Our code has not changed for several years so must something must have been chainged in the OLE/ActiveX library with this security update patch.
We are getting Access Violations when calling the IWebBrowswer :: Navigate function since this KB3003057 security
patch. If I uninstall the patch everything works normally again. When I re-install the KB3003057
patch the problem returns.
All our customers (many different computers in different offices) are getting this problem once they pick up the update. It is not specific to a particular computer and we are seeing it on Windows 7 and also Windows 8.
Thanks in advance for any advise you can offer.
Thanks,

Manage passwords for Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 ??

How does a person find the mange passwords feature for Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 7 box? I saw a few webpages on this topic for IE 10, and also for IE11 on Windows 8, but nothing for IE11 on Windows 7. When I go to IE 11 / Internet Options
/ Content / Auto Complete / Settings, there is no option to manage passwords. I went to Credentials Manager and it says there are no windows credentials, and it doesn't show any web or Internet Explorer credentials. Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
That link to the eightforums.com was not helpful. It states:
This tutorial will show you how to view ...
stored passwords by Internet Explorer 11 (IE11)
in your account in Windows 7,
Windows 8.1, and Windows RT 8.1.
View and Remove Stored Passwords for Sites in Credential Manager
1. Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click/tap on the Credential Manager icon.
2. Click/tap on Web Credentials, and expand a listed website (ex: www.eightforums.com) under "Web Passwords" that you want to view or remove ...
However it is apparent that the author of the article did not verify that this method is applicable to Windows 7.
When I click on the Credential Manager in Windows 7, there are no web credentials. I looked on all 3 of my Windows 7 computers (one Windows 7 Professional and two Home Premium boxes) and none of them had a web credentials section.
Any other ideas?

Help for Internet Explorer 11

Where do I find Help for Internet Explorer 11 ?
I have Windows 7 64-bit and IE11 but I can't find help for that latest browser. In Help and Support, I only find help for Internet Explorer 9
My problem is that since installing IE 11, I am unable to pin pages viewed on the screen to my Favorites; that is the pages that are pinned are different from the pages being viewed.

Hi
from Desktop IE... Help>Online Support menu
or go to
http://answers.microsoft.com
Include the full address of any webpages that you are having issues with.
Pinning is not the same as Adding to favorites.... Web sites program how their sites are to be pinned or added to the Win7 or Win8 Start menus.
Regards.

Can't open a website that supports only Internet Explorer

hi, i can't open a website that supports only Internet Explorer (high-q.co.il - which i need badly for my bachlor dagree)!!
my mac runs OS X 10.9.2 system operation. i cant open this site with: chrome,opre,firefox,safari...
what should i do?

Try changing your browser agent using the Developer menu your browser preference can enable.
If that doesn't work, complain to your college dean that the website violates accessibility laws, and should follow http://www.w3.org worldwide conventions to ensure accessibility. Do not enter any personal information if you are forced to use Windows to browse the website, as it may be insecure.
