Web Dynpro in Internet Explorer vs Firefox

Hi Experts,
We created a Web Dynpro with an application and views as per usual.
Everything looks fine in Firefox (2.0), but when running the Web Dynpro through Internet Explorer 6.0 there are a lot GUI bugs (elements not being aligned, the right length, etc.)
Is there any way to fix this, we didn't do anything 'strange' in our layouts?
Thanks,
JP

Hi All,
Thanks for the answers.
Armin - I'm also used to Web Dynpro apps looking better in IE than in Firefox, so the problems with our current app came as quite a suprise. How can I check if the style sheets are being loaded correctly? We tested the application inside a Portal role and standalone through the test function, and the alignment is wrong in both.
Amol - I understand that certain things look different in different browsers, but I'm not used to such major inconsistencies. I'm also not sure how to adapt the GUI layout to work correctly in IE, as it seems that the changes I make don't do much.
For example, I created two buttons next to each other in a TransparentContainer with MatrixLayout and they displayed fine in IE. But when I changed the styles of the two buttons to "previous" and "next" respectively, the one displayed much lower than the other (nearly half-way). Also, I created a DropDownBox next to a label in MatrixLayout, and no matter what value I set the width to, the DropDownBox is only a few pixels wide in IE (but perfect in FireFox). Strangely enough, after selecting a value from the DropDownBox (and waiting for the subsequent postback, as the DropDownBox is connected to an action), the DropDownBox resizes to the correct width in IE.
Any ideas?
Thanks

  • Need internet explorer of firefox on Mac

    I am going back to school and doing it online. I have done a system check with the platform my school uses and it says I must have internet explorer or firefox. Is there a mac version of these that will work? We had looked into the option of getting Parallels and windows installed but can't really afford it right now. By using either one of these is there security issues I should be aware of?

    Click here and use the Mac OS X download link. Internet Explorer should no longer be used in Mac OS X.

  • Flash not working with Internet Explorer or Firefox - is OK with Google Chrome - What gives?

    The title is my question.  When accessing Youtube with either Internet explorer or Firefox and attempting to watch videos I have viewed before from both browsers, I get messages that I need to install the latest version of Flash player.  After multiple re-installs of both Flash and the browser software as well, the problem still exists.  The only browser that I can use is Google chrome, and I prefer not to.  What can I do?

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Do you have Windows or MAC ?
    Which version of IE and Firefox are you using ?
    Do you see Flash bouncing logo here : http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Check whether Shockwave Flash Object is enabled or not ? (For IE : Tools -> Manage Add-ons & For Firefox : Tools -> Add-ons)
    Note : Open the above URL on IE or Firefox

    Below is how it is being done.  This worked perfectly for years. MS Office 2007 does complain that the file extension does not match the data format (it's a tab delimited text file but I'm pretending it's an Excel file so they'll be prompted to view it as a spreadsheet in Excel) but you just click open and it works fine.  This issue with IE is new.  Let me know if you have any more ideas.

  • The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox

    The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox, please send a new release to fix the problem ASAP!

    ok   here's more mystery.  i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step.  aqlso installed latest java.  i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube
                                                                                           imdb
                                                                                           hulu
                                                                                           ebaumsworld
                                      here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                           msn
                                                                                           reuters
                                    here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                              bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
    the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't.  also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

  • How do I whitelist a Web domain in Internet Explorer 11 (Win 7 OS)?

    I want to whitelist a Web domain in Internet Explorer 11. That is, I want a searcher using IE 11 to be able to go to only one website and have all other sites blocked. We are in a public environment and I don't want users going to Facebook, etc. The solution
    has to make provision for whitelisting the Web domain in such a way that all URLs below it are not blocked. I thought I had a perfect solution using a PAC file. Next, I want to be able to whitelist two URLs so will need the syntax for that, too. I look
    forward to hearing from someone on this topic. I have spent two full days combing the Web for a solution. Thanks.

    Hi,
    I want a searcher using IE 11 to be able to go to only one website and have all other sites blocked.
    For me, if I only want the user search on one website, then I would set a proxy to 127.0.0.1, then add a proxy extension to bypass the specific web address, as shown below:
    If you want to configure PAC file, then I would suggest to the following two guide to create the pac, anyway, a pac is more flexible.

  • Internet Explorer and FireFox do not support Go To A Page View links

    Internet Explorer and FireFox do not support Go To A Page View links between PDFs created with Acrobat 8 Professional. Safari does support the links. Similar problem on both PC and Mac.
    Two possible errors occur: (1) the error message “page not found”; or (2) nothing at all happens – the reader does not leave the page.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    Check the target field in the Firefox desktop shortcut and make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).
    Always make sure to start at least the default profile without the -no-remote command line switch.
    If you need to have more than one profile open at the same time then start subsequent instances with the -no-remote command line switch.
    You can not send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with the -no-remote switch.
    In such a case you need to drag links in a Firefox window or paste the link in the location bar.

    If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
    *Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
    *Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

  • Can i access Internet Explorer using firefox?

    The website I need to access says it will only accept Internet Explorer. Can I download Internet Explorer from Firefox?

    Your best bet is probably to get a copy of the Windows operating system. The other option is a hardware emulator which most non technical users won't choose. A hardware emulator is not guaranteed to work either. If you do a search on Google for Wine HQ you will find Wine one of the most popular hardware emulators.

  • Firefox much slower connecting to all web sites than Internet Explorer. Why?

    Over the last few weeks, Firefox has become much slower connecting to virtually all web sites that I frequent than does Internet Explorer. Nothing has changed on my computer other than occasional downloads of Firefox "improvements".

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
    See:

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Why does "problem loading page" appear when i try to run firefox? I can access the relevent page via internet explorer but firefox cannot connect to the web/

    A few days ago Firefox stopped working when using shortcut or exe. file. The message http://en-gb.start3.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official appears, although when i paste this address into internet explorer it works. What is preventing firefox from connecting?

    Actually, dchristie, your solution didn't help at all. If I wanted to use IE, I wouldn't have installed Firefox. IE is a good browser, but doesn't have features Firefox has. Also, when Firefox crashes windows can kill it and you can restart it no problem. When IE crashes, since it is so tightly integrated into windows, windows itself becomes unstable and you have to reboot.
