Accessing Another Internet Explorer Browser Window
Sep 5, 2006
I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'm looking for a way to access
another IE browser window using JavaScript (assuming the two browser
windows are running in the same instance).
The purpose of this task is so that if a user hits ctrl+n in IE, the
new window is "aware" of the other instance.
I build a website with Typo3 and it works fine, except for the text size in Internet Explorer (and Opera). I tried anything from changing the CSS templates (excluding them) to changing px to pt to em and so. Finally, I think i need a Javascript that detects the browser and if it is Internet Explorer (or Opera) the textsize should be reduce by 1. It therfore should be the same like manually clicking in IE on View->text size -> smaller (default is medium).
My javascript (I just use Javascript for this single purpose) does not work/it does not do anything:
function resizeText(){ if (browserName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer") {document.body.style.fontSize = parseFloat (document.body.style.fontSize) -1 ;}}
I want to close an internet explorer window without the warning popup. Im running ie 8 how would i do that cause when i use window.close() function it pops up with that warning.
I'm using window.open method in my script to open poup window. Recently Internet Explorer users reported that the script crashes on their machine with different runtime errors.
So this works just fine in FF. In IE7 I am getting this error. I can see my content load in the background, when I hit ok it takes me to a page cannot be displayed page. If I comment out:
I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on with IE6's Msxml2.XMLHTTP object. I have two feed addresses in this stripped down version of my code below. Both work fine in Firefox (using the XMLHttpRequest object), but only the thinkgeek one works in IE. In the processFeed function, it shows the problem - the first alert shows 0 for the wikihow feed in IE, though it can still display the responseText. Any insight? Code:
i want to run a bit of js not in ie but in all others within some js i'm doing.is this the way to do it? (got this from o'reilly's js;definitive guide book):
Code: /*@cc_on @if( @_jscript ) ; // nothing for internet explorer[code]....
how should braces be in that, if they should at all? i mean if i wanted multiple lines of js code in the either non-ie or ie blocks how and where would {}'s go?also does that work for ie8?
my site seems to be working perfectly on firefox but when I access it on internet explorer everything loads fine but there is a yellow marker on the status bar of IE saying there are errors on the page. I copied the source into dreamweaver to check for browser specefic bugs but the only bugs that came up were that in Netscape. So any idea why this is happening? The link to my site is in my profile.
I am having trouble with Internet Explorer AGAIN.How do you use the setTimeout for it?This is what I am using and it is working on all of the other browser:Code:setTimeout("growContact(" + (height+20) + ")", 0);
I have a problem, and maybe someone knows the solution.
Context : - Browser : IE 6.0 - Application server : Livewire Pro - Client OS : Windows 98 SE - Server OS : NT4 - I have a frameset, including several pages, but only one will be used for the example. -------- | a | -------- | b | -------- - a form on the main page (a.html i.e.) - a data is manually typed, then I submit the form => the action will redirect to a new page (c.html) - on this new page, I do a history.go(-1), so I'm back on the a.html page, and the data is still there (it's ok) - cache parameters : "check on every page visited"
Problem : - From the main page, if a popup gives the data to the form, so after the submit and the history.go(-1), the form contains NO data !!!
So, the data is lost when the data input is not made by hand.
I have no troubles with Netscape/Mozilla, but only with IE.
I've developed a calendar program in javascript, and up until now I've done most of my testing using Mozilla and Firefox. Everything works fine, but when I try to use Internet Explorer my response time is sometimes 50 times slower than using Mozilla.
I know I haven't given you much to go by, but I'm not looking for an answer so much as an approach to debugging the problem. For example, does anyone here know of a good web site which deals with browser-specific javascript performance issues?
I am wondering if there is any way to write a VBScript macro for IE, just like the action that we can do in MS Excel (Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor).
Also, I believe we can automate actions to IE pages using VBScript, like when you right click a web page and choose "Export to Microsoft Excel". But I have no idea how to get it.
I have a shortcut on my desctop that points to web location. When a user clicks on it the Internet explorer opens the web location but without the navigation bar status,location bar address bar, but with resize handlers.
Ok, if this cannot be done is there a javascirpt that can imediatly remove this when the page is called?
Is it possible with JavaScript to prevent that a User is closing the Internet Explorer? Because it is important for me that the User pushes the cancel Button of this webapplication how can i do this?
I have a link which when clicked either fades up a full screen overlay and a popup box ontop or fades them both down. This works perfect in every browser except IE7 and IE8. The popup box fades in and out OK but the overlay just appears or disappears with no fading (which is bizarre!)
I'm new to Javascript programming. I have designed a Javascript to carry information from one page to another. It works fine in firefox but does not work in internet explorer. Is there some coding that needs to be specified for my script to work in ie?
I am using JavaScript to show/hide a floating div layer. The code i have works perfectly in Google Chrome but will not display at all in Internet Explorer.
