I ran into this problem today in IE6 (but is reproducible on all recent version of IE). I noticed quite a few people run into this problem and I haven't seen a very practical way to fix this. There seems to be some other solution floating about regarding the order of script tags and meta tags in the head of the HTML document. I haven't confirm this but here's a link anyway: What causes the error "Can't execute code from a freed script" I also know the solution to this problem so I'm posting it below First of all you need to locate the source of the message. IE is known for it's abysmal error

I am using the below JS code in order to change the class when a link is clicked. document.getElementById("gifts").setAttribute("class", "gkvSprite selected"); This is not working in IE but it does in FF and Chrome. Then I changed the code to: document.getElementById("gifts").setAttribute("className", "gkvSprite selected"); Then it worked in IE, but stopped working in FF and Chrome. Could someone please help me out here? You can reliably use the className property instead of setAttribute : document.getElementById("gifts").className = "gkvSprite selected"; More generally, there are a couple of

Can anyone enlighten me as to why the following code won't work in IE7 but it works just fine in Chrome/Firefox? $(document).ready(function(){ $.ajax({ type: "POST", dataType: "text", cache: false, url: "/ajax/ajax.asp", data: "cmd=check_forfeits", success: function(msg) { return false; } }); }); The javascript error IE throws out is 'Permission Denied' If I remove that bit of code from the JS file for the page in question the page works just fine, no errors, so the error lies in that bit of code I believe. :::UPDATE::: Something else that is a little strange is that when I refresh the page

I am having a cross browser issue with the offset() function in jQuery. For example, I am looking for the offset of an anchor tag eg. $('#anchorid').offset().top In Firefox 3.6 = 205 In IE8 = 204 In IE7 = 553 As you can see the difference in each returned value. I am not too concerned with the difference between FF & IE8 but I am with IE7 and the others. Is there another function I could use that would be the same or similar cross browsers or a possible fix for this? The chances are there is something wrong (non-crossbrowser) with your markup. But as alternative you could try using native

I know IE7 & IE8 supposedly have support for using multiple CSS class selectors, but I can't seem to get it to work. CSS: .column { float: left; display: block; margin-right: 20px; width: 60px; } .two.column { width: 140px; } .three.column { width: 220px; } .four.column { width: 300px; } HTML: <div class='two column'>Two Columns</div> <div class='three column'>Three Columns</div> <div class='four column'>Four Columns</div> It always end up using the .four.column rule. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? You want to make sure and use a doc type so you do not render in quirks mode. For example: <

Running in compatibility mode the calendar below renders behind the textboxes below. IE8 displays the calendar how I need it to. My CSS .MyCalendar .ajax__calendar_container { border:1px solid #7F9DB9; background-color: #ffffff; z-index : 1004 ; width:190px; } the textboxes which are overlaying the calendar don't have their z-index set anywhere although I have tried in my server side code to set their z-index to -1 if I detect IE7 to no avail. Any suggestions? rhodesjason IE has problems with z-index. Most browsers treat the page as one continuous stacking context, but in IE, positioned

I don't want to use a couple of javascript plugins for IE 6/7. But I want to use them for all other browsers. How can I do it? Is there any way I can do it? From the Wikipedia article on conditional comments (modified to fit your version requirements): <!--[if gt IE 7]><!--> <p>This code displays on non-IE browsers and on IE 8 or higher.</p> <!--<![endif]--> The weird markup in the first line serves to make the markup standards compliant. Your question would be better phrased as "Using conditional comments to exclude content from IE browsers" ;-) Although CCs are most often used to provide
