Working with internet explorer

I know mac no longer supports internet explorer. I need to access applications from my place of employment at home that apparently only work with internet explorer.
I can partially access the website using firefox, safari, netscape,and the latest internet explorer for macs (5.2), but can't do anything with it. The IT guy at my place of employment tried to help me configure the internet explorer, but says it's old & he couldn't do it. Am I out of luck?

Just a question: is your work computer a PC? If it is, I recommend biting the bullet and signing up for "Go to My PC" if you haven't already. I assume if you're a Mac user you probably have broadband internet at home and at work. If you use GTMPC you can operate your PC right from your home Mac, and process your stuff from home, save it on your work PC, and you're good to go! It's only $19.95 a month for unlimited usage; $14.95 a month if you sign up and pay for a whole year. It works great - it basically uses your browser at home to extend your home keyboard to your work PC. Your work PC does all the work, not your Mac - but you get to watch. It's as much fun as PC computing can be!

Why does my Web Handler work with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox

I am trying to develop a web page that uses the Simile Timeline (http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline) with data from SQL Server.
In initial testing of my timeline I tested it with Example.xml, a static XML file in the correct format to be event data. I wrote the following in the appropriate place within mytimeline's Javascript: -
var WebHandler = "Example.xml"
tl.loadXML(WebHandler, function (xml, url) { eventSourceFamily.loadXML(xml, url) });
This worked fine with both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I then changed the assignment to
var WebHandler = "GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=" + getControlValue("input", "hdnUser");
so that invoked a web handler that could look up the SQL database and return the XML that I wanted, and wrote this web handler.
This works perfectly with Internet Explorer, but with FireFox the timeline band is blank. Yet when I examine the http traffic with Fiddler2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) I see that with either browser there is a response from URL
/GDB_pages/GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=robertb
that returns the XML that it is supposed to.
I have previously used web handlers with Firefox before, with no problems. The Fiddler results conclusively show that the web handler is invoked, and returns the appropriate XML, and this XML is identical to the XML from the static test with Example.xml.
Where do I start looking for answers? I don't even know if this is a Simile problem, a Firefox problem, or an ASP.NET problem.
Thank you, Robert.

Problem solved. The issue: Content Type was not correct.
Visual Studio creates the web handler with dummy code like this: -
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Write("Hello World")
End Sub
I wrote a database query that set a string variable to the XML I wanted: -
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
Dim Outstring as string
' my logic to fill Outstring with XML
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Write(Outstring)
End Sub
This works with Internet Explorer. However it's not strictly correct: to make it work with other browsers as well,
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
should be
context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
It now works with IE, FF, and Chrome, and presumably all others.

I can not get the flash player plug in to work with Internet Explorer

Chrome uses a different and separate plug-in.
There are things about IE you need to know, especially 11. Specifically:
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Cannot print due to error message--printer working with Internet Explorer--How do I correct?

Last week printer worked fine with Firefox.
This week a message comes back "an error occurred while printing".
Printer works fine with Internet Explorer.

To test how Firefox runs "uncustomized" on your system, could you do a two-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
You'll click the Create Profile button. I recommend using the default location suggested (i.e., just ignore the option to choose a different folder). Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Can you print?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

IWeb Page Navigational Links not working with Internet Explorer 7

I'm hoping someone can help me out here? My wife created her 1st website using iWeb. I am testing the sites functionality before we publish it. All the pages and links work fine on Firefox and Safari for windows. However, the page navigational links are not working on Internet Explorer 7. All I see is a dot to the left side of where the page links should be. When I start the site in IE7 I get an Active X script warning and I am asked if I want to allow the script to run; to which I reply yes. After I allow the Active X script the dot to the left side of where the page links should be disappears, but the links do not appear.
Is there anyway to resolve this? Most of the members of her club have Windows based PCs and are using IE7.

Yes, Javascript is running on IE7 and other java script applets appear to be working with the exception of the Navbar script.
It would be great if my wife's friends used a "real" browser, unfortunately 70% of the people on the web use IE7, so this is a real concern if we can't get this to work. I'v seen other iWeb site on IE7 that seem to function fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is here.

Response.TransmitFile not working with Internet Explorer 11

My website works fine with FireFox, and it worked fine with Internet Explorer too up until a few weeks ago (at least). Now, with Internet Explorer 11 (running on Windows 8 Pro 64 bit), when I click the button to download the file (a Word document),
nothing happens. In FireFox, a dialog is presented asking the user to save or open the file.
What is going on??? I have been having nothing but problems with IE11. Extremely poor performance all around.
HELP!!!!
Here is the C# code in question:
Response.TransmitFile(filename_goes_here)
Response.Flush();
HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
The three lines above are wrapped in a try/catch, and no exception is thrown.

This is a web-related question. THose are best asked in the ASP.Net forum:

Youtube not running in firefox, but works with internet explorer

when i open you tube in Firefox, it does not run the videos. however the same runs good with internet explorer. a few weeks back the videos were running quite good with Firefox also.

Hi,
You can try to '''Clear Now''' the '''Cache''', '''Cookies''', and '''Site Preferences''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] as well as '''Delete all''' in the Windows '''Control Panel''' > '''Flash Player''' > '''Storage''' tab.
If you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related files in all the different configuration areas/modules of the security software. Instead create new allow/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes. Even otherwise the security software may also ask again when Firefox is started and you can try to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

AS3 image upload & encode - doesnt work with Internet explorer.

So I was looking for a way our clients to upload their Logo
into a flash application we are designing and I found
-this-.
However, I later found that it doesn't work in Internet Explorer,
however does work in every other browser. Is there something in the
AS3 code I am missing? :(

This is a oracle maps bug. The workaround is to add the image as a separate marker foi.
pointClicked = MVSdoGeometry.createPoint(mouseLocationX, mouseLocationY, 8307);
pointClickedFOI = new MVFOI("ID:" + (FOICount++), pointClicked, "MY.STYLE.NAME");
pointClickedFOI.setWidth(48);
pointClickedFOI.setHeight(48);
mapview.addFOI(pointClickedFOI);
markerFOI = MVFOI.createMarkerFOI("ID:" + (FOICount++), pointClicked, "./pin.png");
mapview.addFOI(markerFOI );

Flash not working with Internet Explorer 11

I have upgraded three computers to IE 11 and cannot get Flash to work on any. It did work on one machine running WIndows 7, 32 bit until Flash updated and then it acted like the other two. Two of the machines are WIndows 7 64 bit and are actively used. It never played videos on either. Videos tell me I need the Flash player. I follow the link and install it. The page verifies the install. I still cannot see embeded Flash videos like on Yahoo News.
When I try to check in Manage Add Ons, Flash nor any other Adobe product shows up. Whe I do a verify with your tool it says it is working. The only solution I have found so far is to return to IE 10.

Hi,
Please be aware that Flash player is embedded in Windows 8.1.
