[WSG] internet explorer 8 problems
hi.
okay so how do i use the java se debugger.
and yes i am blind and using jaws for windows from
http://www.freedomscientific.com
so not offended.
should have made that known.
sorry about that.
okay will be pasting the code for the java script and the html files.
as i do not have a actual site.
and just on my local hard disk.
sorry.
thank you.
marvin.
ps: so here the code below.
function setCookie(cName,value,expires)
{
var exDate=new Date();
exDate.setMinutes(exDate.getMinutes()+expires);
cookieString = cName + "=" + escape(value) + ";expires=" +
exDate.toString() + ";path=/";
document.cookie = cookieString;
}
function getCookie(cName)
{
// We pass the textbox object so that we can change it's value.
var cStart; // This is used for the index of the beginning of the
cookie's value.
var cEnd; // This is used for the index of the beginning of the
string of the expiration date and time.
var cValue = "";
if (document.cookie.length>0)
// Determine if a cookie has been set at all
{
cStart=document.cookie.indexOf(cName + "=");

{
cStart=cStart + cName.length+1; // We need to take into
account the equal sign

this must be the last entry. */

/* Set the return value to the cookie entry's data. */
}
}
return cValue;
}
function isNumeric(strText)
{
var validChars = "0123456789"; // the string of acceptible
characters
var curChar; // This is used to store the character currently
being processed.
var isANumber = true; /* The function returns true if the string
is numeric, otherwise it returns false. */
if (strText.length == 0) /* if the length of the string is 0, the
user did nnot enter anything, and we do not need to go any further. */
{
isANumber = false;
return isANumber; /* this returns false and causes us to exit
the function. */
}
for (i = 0; (i < strText.length && isANumber); i++)
/* If we encounter a character in the string that is not a digit, isANumber is
set to false and we exit the loop early. */
{
curChar = strText.charAt(i);
/* The charAt function with I passed as its parameter gets the character at the
ith position in the string. */
if (validChars.indexOf(curChar) == -1)
/* The indexOf function with curChar passed as its parameter searches the
validChars string to see if it contains the value in curChar. If it doesn't, it
returns -1. */
isANumber = false;
}
return isANumber;

As to your actual problem, try using IE8s JavaScript debugger to work out the actual error. Don't use ActiveX, you'll regret it later on.

[WSG] IE8 grouping selectors bug triggers by non-supported selector
Came across this bug which took me a while to figure the culprit. In the example, the “:first-child” and “:last-child” on the left column, the last block of the content area and GO button that are grouped with other selectors, shared the same blue background image. IE8 does not support “:last-child” and ignore all other selectors. Same behavior doesn't showed in IE9 preview nor IE6/7. http://greensho.nexcess.net/iebugs/grouping-selectors-bug.html http://greensho.nexcess.net/iebugs/grouping-selectors-bug-ie8.png tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
