Piczard SimpleImageUpload not loading image - asp.net

I have the Piczard SimpleImageUploader in a asp.net based management tool for a product catalog that seems to work just fine for most users, but for some users, the Edit popup will show, but then the image does not load. The logo and progress will just stay there and never move. Users are typically in IE 11 on a Windows 7 PC. We have tried in other browsers, but FF and Chrome seem to not allow the popup at all, probably due to the branching of Flash, which Piczard seems to need to run.
Could there be a setting in IE that is blocking the image from uploading? The tool worked just fine for the user a few months ago, but recently has not be cooperating. I was thinking it could be a Group Policy, but I have not been able to confirm that yet.
Any leads are appreciated.

Windows updates, IE Advanced settings Reset and a reboot fixed the problem this time. I do not know which setting or update fixed the issue at this point, just that it did. I had done the reset before but that alone was not enough to fix the problem.

Asp.Net Maintain Scroll Position On PostBack Stopped Working in Chrome

I have developed a system in asp.net 4.0 and have MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack set to True at the top of all the vb.aspx pages. This ensures that all users return to the correct section of a page on a post back.
This has been working perfectly for 8 years, however about 3 months ago a user contacted me to state that this no longer worked and when the pages were posting back they were returning to the top of the page and not where the user was working.
Since then I have had another 5 members of the staff notify me that they are also experiencing the same issue. As a result I have to get these users to use Internet Explorer which is functioning correctly. However this is not ideal as our system are developed using chrome and optimised for this browser.
What’s more, I have another 95 members of staff who have the same setup and version latest of Chrome (40.0.2214.94 m) where this is not an issue and the MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack is still functioning correctly.
I have tried moving the MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack setting to the WebConfig file and also using JavaScript to remember the user’s position but these fixes still don’t work on the 6 machines.
Could someone please point me in the right direction to fix the issue that I am experiencing.
Kind Regards

Why won't my Joomla template load correctly in IE9 on Windows 7 / Vista?

We built a Joomla website for one of our clients which can be located at:
http://mayslakeministries.org/
Although everything was looking fine from our end, the client was seeing the website as if no CSS was being rendered. Unfortunately, I do not have a screenshot at the moment. I will try and get one up here in the next hour or so if we don't come up with a resolution. (If anyone is able to see the mess that I'm describing, if you could post a screenshot that would be appreciated as well. We have limited testing equipment available and it's hard for us to reproduce.)
But here is what we've concluded: the website works fine in Chrome and Firefox on all systems. It works fine with IE10 on all systems as well. However, as soon you switch to IE9, things get strange.
IE9 will work fine if you are on Windows 8, but if you are viewing in IE9 from Windows 7 or Vista, things look as if the CSS isn't being loaded.
Any help would be appreciated. If you view the site and find that the information I've provided contradicts what you are seeing, then let me know. We have limited equipment to test with, so it was difficult for us to be able to see the problem.
This is the first time I've encountered a problem that only occurs on a certain OS.
Oh! One more thing I think is worth mentioning. The Joomla template we are using works fine even on Windows 7 IE9. So we believe it's something that we have done to the website that changed it's behavior.
Here is the Joomla template demo:
http://www.astemplates.com/itempreview/186
Alright, it took is a few days, but we finally figured out the problem.
IE apparently has a limit to the number of resources that can be linked to the page at one time. Our Joomla site has around 200 JS/CSS files being linked through the source, and this caused IE to bug out and not load our CSS properly.
This is one of the strangest problems I've had to deal with, so I'm very glad it's fixed.

In what situations does Flash / SWF misbehave in different browsers?

Recently I had some issues with Flash in IE, involving a SWF which is something like a gallery.
In Firefox its loads perfectly, but in IE it doesn't work properly sometimes. The first time it is loaded its works fine but when I refresh all the images are blank. The image data came from XML.
I wish to get some tips regarding the browsers and Flash / SWF behavior in each.
Thanks in advance.
I once faced a similar problem. IE first displays image properly. Upon refresh it didn't display the image. The problem was with the IE security settings on scripting languages. If the script fails to load properly on first time, IE blacklists the script and hence blocks it from running again. When u reset the security settings it will work. But you should still get into the bottomline of the issue and fix it.
Thanks,

Strange Flex Sizing in IE on Server2003

I have a modified version of a flex calendar found Here, and though it looks alright on most computers I've seen, there is a problem on two of the three servers here. Because of the way Citrix is setup here, I need to have it functional on all of the servers.
When it loads, everything is stretched out vertically, and the numbers are missing on the date boxes. If you mouse-over the flex buttons, they jump to the right size, but there is still rendering errors.
The modifications I made had no effect, because the servers give the same results on both my version and the demo version hosted online. As far as I can tell, the servers are identical (IE version, Flash version, etc.)
How can I get it to display normally?
Initial View
After Mouseover
Usual Demo
Demo in bad server
Edit: On the server that renders it improperly, Firefox renders it fine, but Firefox cannot be used for other (unchangeable) reasons.
From the images it appears this is how the SWF appears in the Browser of each server - one good and one bad. Not how the SWF appears in any browser while being hosted from each server.
Sense it is the browser display that is not working correctly I would assume it is a rendering problem with the browser and not the server.
1.) The problem could come from JavaScript being disabled in one of the browsers and the view being taken from the embed tag. Check to ensure that it looks the same with JavaScript both on and off.
2.) The height being 100% could also be messing it up in the browser. Try setting the height to a specific value (800px) and see if that corrects the problem.
3.) Make sure that the browsers are the same. Is one IE 7 and one IE 8? If they are the same, check the version number to ensure that all updates are the same for each.
4.) View the site from another computer that is connected to the server.
Number 1 and 2 would be my best guess as a way to troubleshoot.

Does this seem like an IE8 float bug to you?

I've noticed a strange behavior in two different sites when using IE8.
The first site is in the site that I maintain xebra.com.
The second site is google analytics.
The behavior is that when an address is typed directly into the address bar of IE8, both sites display correctly,
But when one of the sites has already been loaded, and you press the refresh button or F5 key, the layout gets all screwed up:
See screenshots here: here
Something is causing IE8 to render in 'quirks mode' which causes the breakage.
You can duplicate this by browsing to your site in IE8 and selecting Tools > Developer Tools > Document Mode > Quirks Mode.
Make sure your document is always being served in standards mode.
EDIT My original answer had 'compatability mode' where it should have read 'quirks mode' - the two are different.
JS.Companion was what was causing this odd bug, and not IE8. Phew!
http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/CompanionJS/HomePage
I spent the whole morning trying to figure out what was going on, I removed companion.js and bingo my site is perfect! thanks for this.
That's really strange. I don't have the problem on my computer with Companion.JS installed and http://www.xebra.com/ web page (under Vista SP1).
I would be happyto correct the Companion.JS bug that generates this problem if you can provide more information about the problem.
