Disabling A Select Form Element Does Not Appear Right In Internet Explorer
Jun 19, 2006
I'm working on a JavaScript that is enabling / disabling a select
element according to whether a checkbox is selected or not.
This works fine in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer (v 6.0.2900) it
appears wierd:
When I disable the selevt element in IE, it continues to appear as
enabled (falsely) until I try changing it.
When I click on it, updates itself as grey as to indicate that it is
disabled.This is wrong. I want it to appear as grey and disabled the moment it
is disabled via JS.Is this a bug in IE, or should I do this different way (code below).
Is there perhaps some way to "update" the select element so that it
appears as disabled once I disable it with JS? (without having to click
on it to probe if it is disabled or not) Code:
I have a javascript function which adds a label and value to a select widget in its parent window. The function is working fine in firefox and chrome without any errors or warnings. But it is not working in internet explorer.
Say I have a simple page with a top and bottom frame. The top frame has a form (named "form1") with a single textbox entity in the form.How does the bottom form get the contents of that textbox using javascript? Specifically with Internet Explorer 8?I've tried every rendition that I know of.I have to admit that javascript isn't really my forte.I thought a line like:
Code: value = top.frames[0].document.form1.mytextbox.value; would work, but it is not.
I have created some Javascript to make a form application dynamic. My problem is that the code works in every browser except for internet explorer. I get no errors from Firebug and I have made sure that internet explorer has javascript enabled. I am completely in the dark as to why this would be happening. It works perfectly in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Here is my entire code for the form, it is for a housing application for a college,
Code: function runAll2 (processPart, areaType, spaceType, mealType) { pp = document.getElementById('fld2416'); at = document.getElementById('fld2417'); st = document.getElementById('fld2418'); mt = document.getElementById('fld2481');
[code]....
This for is supposed to go live on Tuesday and I didnt realize that it wasnt working in IE until today. I am pretty good at HTML and CSS and know a bit about cross browser testing, I just didnt even think about it because this form is entirely ASP and Java, my bad.
Is there a way to get the style element text ("body { background-color...") in internet explorer?The following example works in FF but in IE it gives the following error:Unexpected call to method or property.
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 have added a booking form to a website with belongs to fastbooking.You can see a temporary website here. http:[url]....It works perfectly fine in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari but it does not load on Internet Explorer.On the other browsers the form loads todays date and the year is generated but on IE the date stays on 01-01 and no year is generated.I'm using wordpress as a cms.I think the code that is not loading is <body onLoad='start();'>But I'm not sure. The code of the year is
<select name='fromyear' class="input" onChange='update_departure();'> <option value="0"></option> </select> But since it's no just the year I assume its the onload code.
I tried to add the onload to the header function like this
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!)
