jQuery Validation not working in IE7 + IE8

I think you either need to move back to an earlier version of jquery (1.5.2) or use the newer version of the validation plugin 1.8.0.1.

box-sizing support in IE7

There are several ways to do this, none perfect. As you point out: Firefox / Opera / Safari / Chrome / IE8+ will recognise the box-sizing property allowing you to use border-boxes. IE6 will use the old school (correct?) border-box model by default. However IE7 uses the W3C padding box model when in standards mode, … Read more

IE7 relative/absolute positioning bug with dynamically modified page content

This is related to the “hasLayout bug” of IE. The relatively positioned #panel parent doesn’t have layout and hence IE forgets to redraw its children when it get resized/repositioned. The problem will go if you add overflow: hidden; to the relatively positioned #panel parent. #panel { position: relative; overflow: hidden; border: solid 1px black; } … Read more

JSON on IE6 (IE7)

Since you want to use the JSON.stringify method, you will need to include the JSON3 parser in order to support it on IE < 8. This library complies with the standard methods of the ECMAScript 5th Edition specification and it checks if there is a native implementation available, so on modern browser this native implementation … Read more

What bug does zoom:1; fix in CSS?

This provides an internal property known as hasLayout in Internet Explorer versions 7 and lower. The definitive article on the subject is here: http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html A lot of Internet Explorer’s rendering inconsistencies can be fixed by giving an element “layout.” In this article, the authors focus on some aspects of this complicated matter. “Layout” is an … Read more

Bootstrap dropdowns menus appearing behind other elements – IE7

Its a stacking context issue! Even though you are using z-index on the dropdown, it is only relative to elements in the same stacking context. You need to add a z-index and a position to a parent element in order to get this to work. In this case I would recommend the header-top div

clientHeight/clientWidth returning different values on different browsers

Paul A is right about why the discrepancy exists but the solution offered by Ngm is wrong (in the sense of JQuery). The equivalent of clientHeight and clientWidth in jquery (1.3) is $(window).width(), $(window).height()

Force IE8 Into IE7 Compatiblity Mode

If you add this to your meta tags: <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE7″ /> IE8 will render the page like IE7.

Wrong extraction of .attr(“href”) in IE7 vs all other browsers?

It’s certainly not a bug in jQuery but instead browsers’ inconsistent implementations of .getAttribute(‘href’) – I suggest using just .get(0).href for consistency. Seems like you can access the attribute text in IE and Mozilla using .get(0).getAttribute(‘href’, 2) if you don’t want the absolute URI. Note however this won’t work in Opera and I haven’t tested … Read more

How do I force Internet Explorer to render in Standards Mode and NOT in Quirks?

This is the way to be absolutely certain : <!doctype html> <!– html5 –> <html lang=”en”> <!– lang=”xx” is allowed, but NO xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”, lang:xml=””, and so on –> <head> <meta http-equiv=”x-ua-compatible” content=”IE=Edge”/> <!– as the **very** first line just after head–> .. </head> Reason : Whenever IE meets anything that conflicts, it turns back to … Read more
