As Edge browser doesn't support modaldialog, I want to pass some value to another window using window.open

From a parent window say A, trying to open another window - ChildWindow.htm using window.open. I am unable to pass string value from A.

var dialog = window.open("Child_Window.htm?", "title", "width=550px, height= 350px,left=100,top=100,menubar=no,status=no,toolbar=no");

dialog.MyVariable = "some string value";
dialog.opener = window;

In Child window, I get undefined reading the variable in the second window.

window.MyVariable

Hello!

We have a giant problem: our legacy ERP system - originally build for IE 6 on XP - uses the search pane as its main menu.

Since IE 10 will soon be out of support, we urgently need an alternative:

• either an add-on that replaces the search pane
• or the search pane can be re-enabled in IE 11 (e. g. using a hidden registry setting)

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

L.

Is there a way to completely remove IE10 from Server 2012. I am not replacing it with another version. I just want it gone or disabled on the server.

Prevent 'Protected Mode' dialog when opending (edit) a document from an Intranet site

Hi all,

Consider the following scenario:

-You are on a website

-The site is in the Intranet zone

-Protected mode is off

-You access a document library, find a Word document you have access to EDIT, and you click 'Edit' (do not view in Word Web App first)

The result:

-Before Word opens, a dialog box/prompt will be displayed which has the following:

Title: "A website wants to open content using this program on your computer"

Text Body: "This program will open outside of Protected Mode. Internet Explorer's Protected Mode helps protect your computer. If you do not trust this website, do not open this program.

Name (of program trying to open): Microsoft Office 2013

Publisher: Microsoft Corporation

You are then given the option to 'allow' or 'Don't allow'. Click allow and the document opens.

I do not want this dialog to open within the Intranet zone as we trust sites in the Intranet zone.

Does anyone know how to prevent this dialog box? In Group Policy I've gone into Internet Explorer settings - Internet Control Panel - Intranet zone etc. but no setting in there accomplishes this. There may have used to have been a settings which said 'Launching programs and unsafe files' but looks like it's gone?

Thanks.

The image rendering engine of IE 8,9, 10, 11 is always awful since years of in compare to ALL other browsers.

Example: If you have responsive Design you upload images at the highest resolution (1024x768) and the Browser scale this image as needed.

ALL browsers deliver scaled and sharp images except the IE 8,9, 10, 11 (IE 7 use-ms-interpolation-mode:bicubic) which no longer work.

Compare it with the frontpage of   www.microsoft.com - scale it to Smartphone Size and see the images: IE 8,9, 10, 11 always has NO anti-aliasing.

PLEASE FIX THIS - or people using IE must accept this...?!

I have a InternetExplorer.Application

I am creating an Automation And one of the page I opened, did Opened a dialog(like new pop up window) that looks like a new tab, but on the same process(I checked it by the task manager >> process tab that the same process just consume more RAM) and I dont find the document if that dialog application.

Even in the shell.application In the windows it isn't there.

Thank you in advance

why is that happened?

We both have IE11, .net 4.5, Visual studio, but I have that function and he not.

And it looks like here in his computer the IE console have the function:

When I'm loading pages from the local network (localhost or *.mydomain.local), around 30% of the time my IE does nothing. Really nothing... I opened the "Network" window of the F12 tools and it really does nothing... but, as I said, only for internal pages. What the hell is going on here? (by the way, when I enter the IP, it works just fine... except from the problem that the http servers don't get all the info they need) ... so... any ideas what's wrong??

What happens in IE 11 when a site is added to "Trusted Sites?" The more technical the better. 

My problem is I have a site that does not rotate the image in IE11 but only when it is added as a trusted site. It works fine in IE8 without. The function attempting execute is rotateImage(ImgDiv)

Thank you.

I'm trying to use web crypto API with IE11 and encrypt/decrypt using AES-256-GCM. Encryption works fine, but decryption with the same parameters fails, without any advice what is wrong:

// key: 32 bytes
// iv: 12 bytes
// auth: 16 bytes
// data: tried 16-10000 bytes; result of previous encrypt
function decrypt(key, iv, auth, data, cb) {
   var decryptOp = window.msCrypto.subtle.decrypt({
      name: "AES-GCM",
      iv: iv,
      additionalData: auth,
      tagLength: 128
   }, key, data);

   decryptOp.onerror = function(ev) {
      cb(ev);
   };

   decryptOp.oncomplete = function(ev) {
      var dec = ev.target.result;
      cb(null, dec);
   };
}

I know that IE11 has an older version of the web crypto API spec. Encryption/decryption with other browsers (tested Chrome and Firefox) with same parameters works. I can't find any examples for AES-GCM decryption with IE11 and the API documentation on https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/dn302338(v=vs.85).aspx is not detailed enough. If I use AES-CBC I can successfully encrypt/decrypt. What is wrong with AES-GCM?

Did anyone try AES-GCM with web crypto on IE11?

I Have Windows 8.1 with ie 11. My version of windows came with Flash Player embedded. Unfortunately, the version of Flash Player that came with the machine has debugging. I have been unable to disable the debugging, or even to remove the Flash Player (with the eye of installing a debug free version). I continually get a error popup window "An Action Script Error has Occurred." I am looking for a fix to stop that annoying box from popping up. Not sure if the problem is with ie 11 or Windows 8.1, but its certainly with the debug version of Flash Player. Help please if there is a solution to this specific problem.

We are using the afore mentioned software and have an odd issue.

A lot of times when we add a site to the list and the export  to the XML the rules Ver will not update or it reverts to an older # and we have to select “file,  save to XML” several times to get the Ver to update correctly. Example below. Is there a fix for this?  OIr is it just a “feature” We would expect that when we add the site and save it and then export it to the XML file that it will increment every time we add a new site? No?

Hello,

I wasn't sure where to put this question so I took a guess on Internet Explorer.

We have a remote user who is trying to open a training video off of the company's website, it's a wmv file. He has a Win 7 Pro laptop which is connected to the vpn and he is clicking on a link he received in email. IE starts up and brings up a window asking permission to open Windows Media Player. Windows Media Player starts up and then gives a message that it cannot access the file.

We tried manually browsing to the file in the network folder and it opens fine in Media Player that way. I also had him forward the email to me and the link works when I try it, I was on an outside internet connection and signed in to the vpn. He also told me that it's not just this file, he has trouble opening other videos as well.

We cleared the internet cache and also tried it with Chrome and got the same result. I checked with the security guy and he assured me that internal resource like this wouldn't be blocked by the firewall.

I'm not sure how to continue troubleshooting an issue like this, it hasn't come up before now. Help?

I have seen lots of posts but no answers.

I have Windows 8 Pro RTM installed from MSDN. I am running IE10 and I go to my Linksys router and get the usual certificate error. In all previous versions of IE, you could just click continue and move forward. IE10 does not all this, please let me know where this setting is so I can use IE10, I hope I am not forced to use Chrome. Also there is no option to run as IE9 for some reason.

I'm doing some performance profiling in IE11 to help resolve a bunch of UI jank and noticed something that I'm curious about.  In my profiling, I see garbage collection as running both on background threads and occasionally the UI thread.  What causes the GC to decide to occur on the UI thread?  Since it often takes 100-200ms or more for the GC to complete, that's a significant amount of dropped frames during dragging, scrolling, etc.

I have a Windows 7 machine with IE11. It will display yahoo.com as if can not load any images on the page.

I have reset IE back to defaults and does not fix the issue. Other web browsers display this site correctly.
I have uninstalled IE 11 and by doing so the version of IE defaulted to IE 8 which showed the same symptoms. This seems to trail to any subdomains such as search.yahoo and mail.yahoo.

I have a Surface RT. IT uses I.E. 

Now since Microsoft discontinues I.E. what the HELL are we all supposed to use? RT users are just stuck in a limbo like place and only gets what MS deems worthy. You cant install normal apps due to ARM architecture and are limited to use only those apps supplied in the Microsoft Store. i tried that UCBrowser crap but it is a FAKE app (this is in the Microsoft Store) that uses (calls) I.E so basically it's the same browser.

Since we all are not supposed to use I.E any longer (discontinued) what the hell are we supposed to use? 

Didn't think this one through, did you Microsoft?
