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.

Short answer: Put this in your head tag to tell the browser that your page works in IE 8: <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=8″ /> Also as per Jon Hadleys comment, to ensure the latest (not just IE8) rendering engine is used, you could use the following: <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=edge”>
The cross-browser compatible version for window.scrollY is document.documentElement.scrollTop. Please see the ‘Notes’ section of this piece of Mozilla documentation for a full, detailed workaround in IE8 and before. As mentioned here, pageYOffset is another alternative to window.scrollY (note though that this is only IE9+ compatible). In regard to the link above, check Example 4 for … Read more
You could use: document.getElementById(‘iframe1′).contentWindow.document.write(“<html><body>Hello world</body></html>”); Here’s a jsFiddle, which works in all major browsers. Note that instead of contentDocument.write you should use contentWindow.document.write: this makes it work in IE7 as well.
I’m guessing you haven’t declared a doctype. Try placing this on the first line, before the html tag: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”> The code you pasted works in IE8 with that doctype.
I am unable to reproduce such a problem in IE8. Full test case? Are you sure there’s not a layering problem causing some other transparent element to cover the clickable area? Does setting background-image make a difference? What about to a transparent GIF? ETA: Curious! It’s actually an IE7 bug. For me, your example exhibits … Read more
It does support localStorage, though you need to be in IE8 mode (this will not work in IE7 mode). To check that you’re working in IE8 mode, load up the developer console. At the top, make sure that IE8 mode is selected. Standards mode would also be nice. One thing that you also want to … Read more
