JavaScript – Nuances of myArray.forEach vs for loop

HTML embedded PDF iframe
It’s downloaded probably because there is not Adobe Reader plug-in installed. In this case, IE (it doesn’t matter which version) doesn’t know how to render it, and it’ll simply download the file (Chrome, for example, has its own embedded PDF renderer).

ie8 var w= window.open() – “Message: Invalid argument.”
This is an old posting but maybe still useful for someone. I had the same error message. In the end the problem was an invalid name for the second argument, i.e., I had a line like: window.open(‘/somefile.html’, ‘a window title’, ‘width=300′); The problem was ‘a window title’ as it is not valid.
