I'm writing a web site (ASP.NET/C#) that is specifically targeted at mobile phones.
On the master page I have put an ASP menu. This works fine in IE8 and Firefox, but when I try viewing it from my Nokia browser, while the menu is visible, its behavior is incorrect: I tap on the menu to open it, and instead of opening the next level of menus, the control disappears altogether!
Interestingly, I got the same behavior using Chrome on my computer.
I haven't yet tried on Safari, but the message is already pretty clear: the ASP.NET menu control doesn't work on the Nokia browser, and that is a showstopper. What alternatives do I have? It needs to work on Nokia, Safari and Opera, at least.
I saw in a similar question that someone suggested writing a custom server control. Nice idea, I'm sure... but how do you explain that to this ASP.NET newbie?
It turns out that most browsers support Ajax, so I'm going to use Telerik's RadMenu.

I've recently completed my first custom-built Wordpress website, based on Automattic's Toolbox theme, and am in the process of testing it. I'm having some strange issues with IE 6-8 which I've not experienced before - the entire navigation bar, including the background colour, disappears leaving only the logo. None of the navigation links show up, nor does the button which triggers the menu dropdown on small screen sizes.
The website is http://fpsl.eu , and I'm pretty much stumped. I don't think it's a JS issue since it works fine in Firefox and Chrome without JS. An HTML5 shiv comes preinstalled with Toolbox so I don't think it's a compatibility issue in that respect...but maybe I'm wrong, and I don't know how to check!
(I'm using Browserstack to test and am actually wondering if its rendering is accurate - my portfolio website which I tested extensively a few months ago - www.dearjackalope.com - is now causing Browserstack's IE virtual machine to hang, despite my having made no major changes other than adding content - this is a separate issue I guess, but it makes me unsure as to whether all my sites are breaking at once or if it's just Browserstack being moody!)
I am checking your site(http://fpsl.eu/) in ie7,8 and 9. It's working properly.
1) Fix your markup code errors; they may not be the whole trouble, but fix them first: [Invalid] Markup Validation of fpsl.eu - W3C Markup Validator. Scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code. Start fixing the code errors and revalidate.
2) You need native IE7+ - not Browsershots - to fully test IE. Find a Windows PC to test with and use F12 dev tools in IE to emulate other versions.
3) Forget IE6; it's dead.
I have an ASP.net website that was working fine with IE9, Mozilla, chrome but with IE 10 users have lot issues. The UI and even the functionality (like clicking on button, login/logout do not work) doesn't work well with IE10.
The IE version I have is 10.0.9200.16519.
I see few differences between the view source from IE10 and google-chrome (or even IE9) but can't understand much of it.
Where actually in the site can I check why pages sent to IE 10 browser is different from others browser or IE9?
Please suggest how can I debug further?
PS: The site works fine with IE9 and below versions of IE.
ASP.NET fails to identify IE10's user-agent string, and as a result can send back broken code. This has been discussed in various places, but probably most notably on Scott Hanselman's blog. See the post titled Bug and Fix: ASP.NET fails to detect IE10 causing _doPostBack is undefined JavaScript error or maintain FF5 scrollbar position.
check if there is any js error, use IE developer toolbar (F12) to debug script
The site I am working on uses Facebook Javascript SDK, as described here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/, to allow users to login. The site is an ASP.NET MVC site.
It works on latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and also IE9.
However in windows 8 consumer preview using IE10 (in normal and compatibility mode) when logging into Facebook the popup window goes white and doesn't close. If close manually and refresh the original page I see that I am logged in.
I have looked through all other SO questions and searched the web. I have tried all the solutions and none of them work.
I am using the channelUrl correctly and it works in the other browsers. I also tried the IE10 bug fix here http://www.hanselman.com/blog/BugAndFixASPNETFailsToDetectIE10CausingDoPostBackIsUndefinedJavaScriptErrorOrMaintainFF5ScrollbarPosition.aspx
There really isn't much different from my code and the Facebook examples. So I think there is either a problem with IE10 or the Facebook API when using IE10.
Has anyone had similar problems and found a solution?
The problem was in the HTML. The meta tag for http-equiv was set to
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=8">
This causes IE10 to display the web page in IE8 mode. Changed this to 9 as it was meant to be and the Facebook popup box disapears.
With ASP.NET and Devexpress Combobox control on page generates js.
This js perfect works in Firefox, Chrome, Safari. But it don't work in IE8. There is an interesting issue with this situation:
When in IE8 and developer toolbar is on, than it's works fine. But if I close dev toolbar, then occurs error 800a025e.
UPD:
I did not write js. It generates automatically. I simple write
ComboBox.Focus();
That's all.
The problem might appear because you are using a version of DevExpress controls which are not compatible with IE 8. Can you check how your code works with the latest (11.1.7) version? Also, from your code, I suspect that the ComboBox is the value of the ASPxComboBox's ClientInstanceName property. Right?
I am looking for a fix for styling a webpage that so that a webpage on google chrome, will look the same as it does on firefox, meaning, is there some syntax in css to make all of the web browsers look the same. does this exist (I would also like one for I.E., and any other web browser if it exists if it exists)
Google Chrome uses a different rendering engine than Internet Explorer/Firefox, so may display web pages differently. Apple Safari uses the same rendering engine as Google Chrome (WebKit) and should display pages the same way.
If your site isn't rendering properly in any browser, make sure your HTML and CSS are valid by testing them at http://validator.w3.org/.
If your site doesn't render properly in Google Chrome or Apple Safari, file a bug at webkit.org as described at http://webkit.org/quality/reporting.html.
If your site renders properly in Apple Safari but not in Google Chrome, please file a bug against Google Chrome at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list.
How can I test my website in Google Chrome?
There are several tools to help you test your website in Google Chrome:
Web Inspector
Right-click on any component on a web page to launch the web inspector. You'll be able to see the elements and resources associated with the component on which you clicked, including a hierarchy view of the DOM and a JavaScript console.
Task Manager
Select the Page menu icon, then Developer > Task Manager (or press Shift+Esc). The task manager shows all running Google Chrome processes, and the resources that they're using (memory, CPU, and network).
JavaScript Debugger
Select the Page menu icon, then Developer > Debug JavaScript. This launches a JavaScript debugger that can be used to attach to existing processes.
I found the Answer. Being that I am using drupal, there is a built in IE fix for the theme that I am using (fusion) that creates separate css files (ie7.css, ie8.css, etc). using these, I can adjust what I need for IE specifically.
Most layout problems with decent browsers are cause by invalid HTML, invalid CSS, or misunderstanding what a particular piece of CSS is actually supposed to do.
In general, when I see a difference between FF and Chrome, it is because Chrome is doing the proper thing and FF just happens to be rendering some invalid CSS fine. 99% of the time, I can fix the CSS and get FF and Chrome to render the same.
The remaining times, I typically browser sniff and use jQuery to fix the problem.
