OK, this is a European story mainly but I do believe it'll be of value to the American readership here (which I assume is the majority). Basically thanks to pressure from the European Union, on Tuesday Microsoft made it clear to all European users that they could choose between web …

Hi I have had to re-establish that I prefer using IE8 as my default browser, well at least on one desktop PC. I have IE7 on the other, and I prefer that browser to IE8 which does not allow me to save to my last folder used to save a …

I am running IE 8. Frequently a new IE Window opens without me trying to open one. The new window appears to be soliciting something. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Odd isn't it, how Microsoft kicked up a fuss when Google announced the Chrome plugin for Internet Explorer on the grounds that it could make the browser more insecure. Indeed, it went as far as to suggest that it doubled the potential surface area for malware and scripted attacks. Yet, …

I just wanted to point out a few things I notice about the new DaniWeb. In IE6 based browsers it is hogging 25-50% or more CPU every time I click on something in the new site. It never returns to normal, and periodically spikes to 25% without clicking on anything. …

I have created a PHP page using CSS for styling. It looks great in IE. However, in Firefox, it is just a mess. Here is the link to the page: [url]http://www.laudontech.com/temp/pceditor.php[/url] Any ideas? Should I develop for Firefox, then try and fix for IE? Or, the other way around? Thanks …

Hello! I'm having trouble with the CSS of this liquid (flixible ) layout. The problem occurs only in IE7. Whenever I decrease the size of the browser the #eventsListing (6 images) drops under #content (text/copy). I tried all kinds of hacks and freestyle solutions but nothing have worked so far. …

Check out this page in Firefox or Chrome: [url]http://minorityrecruitonline-com.si-vs1222.com/college/Default1.aspx[/url] Now check out the same page in IE8. I have tried everything to get them to appear the same in both browsers, but no can do. Any ideas from any HTML gurus out there?

It is either a clever bit of strategy or a shambolic u-turn depending upon your view of the company, but Microsoft has now formally abandoned plans to sell the controversial Windows 7 E edition in Europe.

Here we go again. The European Union (hello from Europe, everyone!) is once again complaining that Microsoft is abusing its market leadership position by continuing to put Internet Explorer into Windows. I can halfway see the point, but I don't think they're right. The way I explained it to my …

Oh terrific. Just when we thought things were winding down for the festive season, Microsoft users are advised not to use Internet Explorer until a major security vulnerability is plugged. Clearly I agree, but I'd add a second plea - when you've cross-graded to Chrome, Firefox, Opera or whatever else, …

Yes, I'm afraid it's true; Firefox is the most popular browser out there. Standing at this moment at over 11.5 millions downloads since its production release Tuesday, June 17. How can I make such a sweeping statement? It is the most popular browser ever because of the number of voluntary …
