  • Maximum Character Limit on the USerAgent String in IE 6
    • Hi, I am trying to access a web application which only supports IE version 5.01 and above. In order to perform this check we use USerAgent string to check the IE version and then allow the users to access the application. While testing we found out that on Windows XP IE 6.0 when the user agent is beyong 256 character length, the rest of the useragent string is getting truncated and it is only returning Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;). However this is not the case with IE 7.0 and IE 8.0. Is this a known issue in IE 6.0 and do this have any workaroound? Any pointers to this or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & regards, Ashwin

  • Upgrade to IE8 Reasons for/against
    • I'm running windows/xp sp3 and IE6 6.0.2900.5512. I'm considering upgrading to IE8, primarily due to security concerns. 1. Will my computer truly be more secure with ie8 than with ie6? I keep up to date on all MS updates. 2. Does ie8 run on windows/xp? 3. I'm already memory-constrained. Will that be even more of a problem with ie8? 4. I'm already processor-constrained: intel 2.something pentium. Will that be even more of a problem with ie8. 5. Will I be able to revert to ie6 if I install ie8 and find it unacceptable? TIA, Phil

  • per-user initialisation
    • Whenever a user first logs in to a Windows system, or when the internet explorer has been updated to a new version since the previous login, a small program runs that performs some initialisation of the user settings for internet explorer. A small window is shown in the top left corner of the screen while this happens. This lasts only a few seconds and you don't see it again until the next upgrade. Does anyone know which program is doing this and how it can be started manually? We are running a Citrix server with only published applications, no desktop for the users. When a user only runs published applications, and has never logged on to a desktop, the abovementioned initialisation has not been performed, and internet explorer does not work correctly in that session. This is most apparent when using help in the application where the help is a compiled html file. The user will not be able to navigate the help. I hope there is some program we can run from the logon script to initialize the internet explorer just like it happens when a logon to a desktop is done.

  • Google
    • Google has announced that it is phasing out support for IE6. This will cause a problem for those with older OSs. No word on older Firefox etc. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics!

  • ie7 won't connect to 'net
    • hi, ie7 has been acting strange lately. i use it for previewing web designs in Dreamweaver on the local computer, which is fine. But when I try to connect to an internet site, it seems to stall on "connecting" and never gets the site up. I tried deleting IE7 from Zone Alarms prog list once; that worked temporarily. Then same problem came back. I've also deleted all offline files, cookies, etc. thanks for any pointers... Taka

  • Maxthon ver 1.6 as a substitute for IE6
    • This is about the suitability of Maxthon browser as a replacement for IE6. Hopefully the IE experts here are familiar enough with it to offer some advice. Since IE6 has been on the ropes, and since I'm happily ensconced in Win2K with no IE upgrade path, awhile back I installed the earlier version (1.6) of Maxthon browser, so called "Maxthon Classic". There is also a newer, more advanced Maxthon browser, version 2.5, for which Maxthon says Vista is the recommended OS, as opposed to stating that that is a minimum requirement. The question is, since Maxthon is supposed to be largely derived from IE in how it works, does it also have the same security vulnerabilities - especially the earlier version, which is a contemporary if IE6. By the way, my default browser is Firefox. This is a back-up. Trust me - I occasionally have a genuine need for such an arrangement.

  • IE6 coming demise?
    • Hello group Some applications that access through the browser gave me a notice that I have to update to higher version of IE , ex. IE8. I am currently using IE6 in a WinXPSP3 platform Does it mean that IE6 will disappear soon? What will really happen? What is really the main issue why some softwares will provide such notification? And supposing this browser will be removed or made redundant would the current version o IE8 is already bug free that it can be better replacement? TIA Roy

(The favorites to web pages do export.) How to export â??file foldersâ?? favorites?

  • Cannot connect to Internet Explorer
    • 2 weeks ago I had a Trojan Virus on my PC. McAfee said that this had been succesfully removed. However, whenever I logged on, after about 15-20 mins the whole system would freeze. I managed to get this problem sorted by contacting the manufacturers (DELL) who disabled some of my startup applications and installed Malwarebytes AntiMalware and SuperAntiSpyware. After running scans on these and removing various infections, it seemed to be working again. However, for the last 4-5 days , when I have been trying to connect to the internet, internet explorer will not load up and I cannot receive/send e-mails. When I go into Network Connections it appears that I am actually connected but at no point can I get the explorer up and outlook express just freezes when I try to recieve e-mails. I would be most grateful for any help on this matter, thank you.

  • IE6 DNS question
    • I don't truly know if this is a DNS issue, but when I open Internet Explorer it sometimes tries to resolve the IP address of my home page and my favorites and does not connect. Closing it and reopening IE normally corrects it, and it then resolves the domain name and connects fine. I do not understand why this only happens some of the time and why it seemingly fixes itself by closing and reopening IE, without any other changes. Does this sound like a DNS issues, or s security setting, or something else? It does not happen with any other browsers, only IE. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Killing sent email before it finishes
    • I am using Outlook Express under XP. I am on a 768kb DSL. Mail is scanned by Symantec. I understand that mail, when sent, is marked as "sent" before it completes because Symantec has it. Due to erratic problems with transmission, when I send a large attachment it may take much, much time -- up to 10 times or more slower than normal. (When I look at Task Manager/Networking, I can see that xmit utilization is very, very slow.) The problem occurs very randomly, so when I see it going so slow, I want to kill the transmission and try again later. Is there a way to kill a message after I send it but before it finishes? Thank you for your suggestions.

  • IE6 Cannot Open the Internet Site
    • During the past two weeks I've started getting the following IE6 error when trying to open Yahoo Finance, Yahoo E-Mail and possibly other websites - "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site". The next line lists the web address that could not be opened and the last line says "Operation aborted". I click OK and the page cannot be displayed opens. This is also happening with IE7.

  • Web browsers lineup
    • Hello, I don't know is there a group concerned with IE8 so I am posting here. it really bugs me why IE8 cannot handle simple JS; scripts that all were working in IE7 ? But what really looks like total nonsense is why all other browsers actually *can* handle same script with no security warnings, blocks or errors including previous IE browser versions ? This problem has reached level of absurdity in IE8 which blocks or simple won't execute scripts that worked in previous versions of IE. I did real browser line-up: * Firefox * SeaMonkey * Safari * Opera * K-meleon * Chrome * Flock * previous versions of IE All working perfectly, all executing same scripts - most of them based on simple, basic JavaScript expressions. Even if there is possibility that my code can be erroneous, that does no explain fact why all other browsers are executing this very code. This is a serious yet very simple question: what is wrong with Internet Explorer, especially IE8 ? Microsoft is capable to create excellent development environments, databases etc, but Microsoft cannot create web browser ? I don't buy it. So, answer might be that MS WON'T create web browser that can compete with reliability of other browsers. All I want to know is - *why* ? .. Thanks Josip

  • Folder Options
    • I work in a department that has a process in place where we are in different stages on working with files. Is there a way to color code folder names or change the icon for specific folders that would indicate the status of the files. These are on a server and used by multiple people. I understand we could just change the name of the folder to indicate its status, but would like other options instead.

  • Conditional comments displayed on page
    • URL: http://ulsterliteracy.org/sandbox/ Conditional comments are used to expose unique HTML for IE 7 and below. As expected, non-IE browsers correctly ignore the conditional comments. IE6, IE7, and IE8 all DISPLAY the conditional comments on the page (and also all select the code bracketed by [if IE lte 7]). I've looked at this over and over and can't see what is wrong. I need another pair of eyes to look at the source and tell me where I've gone wrong. My reference for the coding was http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512(VS.85).aspx Chris Beall

  • IE 7 ??
    • Winxp(home), zone alarm, AVG AV, wireless card. Here's the situation. Replaced HD and have reloaded most programs we need.want. When I open IE 7.x the first screen of any site opens up fast. When we click on a link within 'most' web sites, it takes forever, if at all, to open. Haven't run into this but I'm assuming it's a setting but not sure where to look!!? Help please, L.

  • Iexplorer 8 won't open
    • Did a clean install of Windows XP Professional. Updated it with all the service packs and Microsoft has been sending down a steady stream of updates; one of which was Iexplorer 8. It won't open. I even tried a re-install of the program and it still doesn't open. I'm using the free version of AVG as my virus scanner. I disabled it and tried; still no luck. What could be the problem?

  • html page encoding and browser settings
    • HTML file reads <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> and saved in Motepad as UTF-8 Yet IE6 shows Cyrilics as gobbledagoock unless in the browser in View-->Encoding I manually set encoding to Unicode UTF-8 I thought that enciding specified in matatags should override browser setting, otherwise one had to guess the encoding and set is menually. Is this the case? BTW some time ago these used to be an very popular HTML newsgroup here on MS news server - has it been moved somewhere? Now it is only HTML_authoring and it is a dead one.

  • Application feature works on IE7.0 but not on IE6.0
    • Hi, One of the pages in my web application, requires to display huge amount of data. Its a list of items, with drop down list as one of the column to select a value. Problem is the items displayed and page looks good in IE7.0 with proper drop-down lsit for all the items, even when tested with 10,000 number of items. However, with IE6.0 the page has problem even with 4000 items. Issue is that the drop down list is not proper and not displayed for the items towards the end of the page. Is this problem with size of http data ? Kindly let me know if there is an issue with IE6.0 ?
