Issues with Internet Explorer 7

Thursday 22 March 2007 - Filed under Others

• getURL fails to open new window in a popup window
  • If the flash is held in a popup window, getURL with a "_blank" target fails to open a new window in IE7, e.g. getURL("http://www.google.com", "_blank", "GET"). You need to call "window.open" function in javascript, getURL("javascript:window.open(‘http://www.google.com’)", "_self","GET").
• http://localhost makes IE7 behave strangely
  • As one of Microsoft’s anti-phishing approach, the URL of a web page should be always visible to the user. But if you test on localhost, IE7 won’t show the URL if the window’s toolbar is set to false
  • screen.availWidth and screen.availHeight don’t work properly if use localhost. It seems it returns screen.width and screen.height.
  • If you use http://127.0.0.1, everything works well.
• popup window has a minimum width 250
