Yes, IE8 (and even IE9 apparently) limit the number of style sheets to 31 per page. Telerik has an article and test page which demonstrate the issue. According to comments in the same article, the 4096 rules per file limitation has been marked as Won’t Fix in Microsoft Connect but I’ve been unable to verify … Read more
In older browsers, you can write a function that will parse the string for you. This one creates a Date.fromISO method- if the browser can natively get the correct date from an ISO string, the native method is used. Some browsers got it partly right, but returned the wrong timezone, so just checking for NaN … Read more
I found there is no “supported” way to do it. What I did was copy the password content to a hidden field and remove the password inputs BEFORE submit. Since there aren’t any passwords fields on the page when the submit occurs, the browser never asks to save it. Here’s my javascript code (using jquery): … Read more
Thought I’d come back and give the final answer. Thank you to everyone that suggested “Do not save encrypted pages to disk”. I followed EricLaw’s advice and set: Cache-Control: private I also found that I had Pragma: no-cache, which I removed. Works like a charm now 🙂
Add a string at the end of your URL to break the cache. I usually do (with PHP): <script src=”https://stackoverflow.com/my/js/file.js?<?=time()?>”></script> So that it reloads every time while I’m working on it, and then take it off when it goes into production. In reality I abstract this out a little more but the idea remains the … Read more
What does it really do? It allows third parties to link to a messed-up version of your site. It kicks in when [a few conditions are met and] it sees a string in the query submission that also exists verbatim in the page, and which it thinks might be dangerous. It assumes that if <script>something()</script> … Read more
Try this CSS: a:active, a:selected, a:visited { border: none; outline: none; } Note that this has to be after any a:hover rules. Thanks to PEra in the comments for suggesting using the a:selected selector as well. NOTE The above does not work in IE 9. Removing a:selected causes it to work in IE9.
I’m not going to get in a debate about whether or not this method should be used, but this will let you set specific css attributes for IE8-9 only (note: it is not a selector, so a bit different than what you asked): Use ‘\0/’ after each css declaration, so: #nav li ul { left: … Read more
IE doesn’t allow manipulation of the type=”file” input element from javascript due to security reasons. Setting the filename or invoking a click event to show the browser dialog will result in an “Access is denied” error on the form submit – Internet Explorer is clever about remembering what methods have been invoked.
