internet-explorer-6

Suppose, I want to have a link or a button that when user click it, will close the browser without any confirmation dialog box. It needs to work in Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 and Firefox. I have done some research and found out that it is not possible to close window/tab in Firefox if that window/tab isn't open through javascript or if the tab has history pages > 1 (i.e. Back button clickable because you browse through webpages). Way to do in Firefox : Delete the history first. Then you can close window without confirmation box. I haven't tried this solution. I happen to read through multiple

Possible Duplicates: IE6: To support or not to support. Should we support IE6 anymore? I'd hate to (HATE TO) admit it, but there are some people still using this browser. A client of mine is facing an issue where the "transparency" area of a png comes out a light grey - ONLY on IE6. I know it's an unsupported browser, but some people STILL use it. I'd love to have a little discussion about whether or not I should choose to support it. One point pro-support of IE6 is that often in large organisations, the update of systems is often unimportant to their IT department, so theres a large

I have a CSS/jQuery Checkbox style script: http://jsfiddle.net/BwaCD/ The problem is, in current browsers in order for the span to float over the input, the input's position must be absolute. But in IE8 & below, the script will not work and therefore I'm left with and absolutely positioned input that is just floating over other elements. I am not asking for the script to work in IE8 & below. I want to know how I can use CSS to set a specific style if it is IE8 and below. I guess jQuery would be acceptable if it's necessary, but I don't think it is. I know this can be done with just CSS & HTML

I'm new to jquery and was wondering: is a simple way to detect whether a browser is Internet Explorer 6 or below? As simple as this: if($.browser.msie && $.browser.version=="6.0") alert("Im the annoying IE6"); Update Please note that $.browser is removed from jQuery 1.9 If you still need to use $.browser in jQuery 1.9 (or other deprecated functions), try jQuery-migrate ( https://github.com/jquery/jquery-migrate/ - http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.js ) You could also ask IE directly. <!--[if lte IE 6]> <script type="text/javascript"> var isRunningIE6OrBelow = true; </script> <![endif

My site uses an HTML5shiv for the benefit of Internet Explorer 6 users. What will happen if they have JavaScript disabled? Will the CSS for my fancy new elements (video, article etc) still work? This is dependent on your site and how much it relies on HTML5 elements. The easiest way to find out is to simply run your site on IE6-IE8 with JavaScript disabled and see! With that said, you can expect your elements to mostly just not show up with styles. IE6-IE8 do not understand HTML5 elements and won't apply CSS to them if it doesn't expect them. The HTML5 Shiv is used to force IE to understand

I want to achieve a simple "frame" layout with fixed header, fixed left navigation area, and a main content area that fills 100% of the remainder of the viewport with scrollbars if necessary. My best attempt is below - but when I add enough content to the main div to force scrolling, I see that the scrollbar extends below the bottom of the viewport. What am I doing wrong? Or what is IE6 doing wrong and how can I fix it? NB please don't recommend using a more recent browser - I'd love to but can't. Update 1 (for Matti and other purists!) - I have to live within real-world constraints of

In IE 6 select control(combo box) is displaying on top of menus. I checked some Javascript menus, mmmenu , but all are getting under select control. It's not fixable by assigning Z-Index. Is there any other solution. This is a well-known bug with IE6 with trying to absolutely position divs on top of select controls. There are workarounds involving iframe shims, but there is no good answer. The iframe shim answer is to place an iframe underneath whatever div you're trying to place above a select, with the iframe being the same size. Unfortunately, this is a huge pain in the ass. I suggest using

How to fix display:inline-block; on IE6 ? My html Page http://www.faressoft.org/tutorialTools/slideShow/ can I get the same result in other way ? You have to re-specify display:inline; on block level elements in your IE style sheets. HTML: <div class="ImageSlideShow">blah</div> REGULAR CSS: .ImageSlideShow { display:inline-block; } IE CSS: <!--[if lt IE 8]> <style> .ImageSlideShow { display:inline; zoom:1; } </style> <![endif]--> See: http://work.arounds.org/using-inline-block-ie7-and-ie6/ BONUS: You should also specify display:inline; for .ImageSlideShow .ImageNum {} to alleviate another IE
