Our big, single-page JavaScript app does not work at all in the Edge browser. (We officially support it in Chrome and Firefox, we don't allow it to be used in IE because it only half works there, and we chose not to do all the IE specific work.)
I have submitted issues in the past to the webkit team via their bugzilla tracker.
I have googled around and do not see a way to submit issues to the Edge team at all.
Is there a known way to collaborate with Microsoft on Edge?
UPDATE
The Edge browser ROCKS. MS killed it with this one. We were able to fix our issues (we had a logging lib that was specif to ffox and chrome), and found Edge to be completely issue-free once that was done.
Nice work (amazing, awesome work) Microsoft and Edge team!
The following channels are great ways to interact with the Microsoft Edge team:
Bug reports: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/
Feature requests: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-microsoft-edge-developer
Demos, documentations, and projects: https://github.com/microsoftedge
Social: https://twitter.com/MSEdgeDev
You can click the "Send Feedback" option, which appears when you click the ellipsis ("...") on the right of the browser window, right below the "X" close button.
In the new Edge browser, open the ellipsis menu at the top right of the browser window and click Help and feedback and Send feedback.
Alternatively press Alt+Shift+I to directly open the feedback window.

We're making a big web form for customers, and it's got half a dozen date fields, for which we are using the Infragistics WebDatePicker control (in asp.net 4.6). They work fine (though applying validators to them was a lot of work) except when we try them on an iPad. In Safari for iOS, tapping on the button to drop down the calendar causes it to flash momentarily and then disappear. No such problem on an android device, so far as we've seen. The problem isn't just on our new page, but on all our old ones that also use the control.
Edit: the problem happens in Safari but not in Chrome.
Has anybody encountered this? Has any work been put into resolving this issue? Or are we the only ones seeing it?
Googling seems to come up empty, and Infragistics' support request page appears to currently be inaccessible.
I'm hoping this doesn't come down to finding a way to instrument 50 javascript events on an ipad.
To update, here is the exact case where we're seeing the problem:
device: iPad Air 2 64gb (model MH2M2LL/A)
system: iOS 8.4.1
browser: Mobile Safari 600.1.4
infragistics version: 15.2 for asp.net 4.5
example site: http://www.infragistics.com/products/aspnet/editors/date-picker
...yup, it's failing in Infragistics' own demo page. (Use the second "view sample" link.)
It doesn't fail every time: sometimes the first click after page load succeeds, but the ones after it all fail.
Second update: Infragistics has entered this in their bug tracker as #216122.
I have tested this with the latest SR for 15.1 and could not reproduce the described issue. In order to receive better support, I suggest you to open a ticket for this issue trough the Infragistics site. What is more, it will be best if you add all the related environment details (like Infragistics product version you are using), and attach a simple code sample in order for the Infragistics Dev Support to reproduce the described behavior.
I'm planning to use list & label as a reporting tool for my MVC Web Application, I downloaded the trial version and the sample code was really helpful.
I'm almost settled on using this as my app's reporting tool but I'm thinking twice on their web app report designer tool, because I needed to install the chrome extension before I can use it.
I'm using version LL v.20
So my questions are:
Is the chrome extension really needed for the designer to work? I'm thinking that if my app goes live, will I require my clients to install this plugin first?
Will the designer have issues on other browser? So far I haven't seen extensions/plugins for IE (only Fireforx, Safari, Opera, Chrome).
PS. If all else fail, can you suggest an alternative for this? The reporting tool that I need is web-based and allows end-users to edit the reports. Thanks!
1) Yes, you need to install the plugin on the client side.
2) For IE, there's a Designer ActiveX. Simply open your existing app in IE, you should be offered to install the OCX right away.
As to your general concerns:
We plan to replace the plugins with a client-side application that can be one-time installed with a couple of clicks in LL21. The reasoning is the step-by-step deprecation of plugins by most browser vendors. Changing between the plugins and the new designer app will be quite easy. The new designer will also support previewing at design time. Depending on when you plan to ship your application it may well be worth the wait till October.
I have tried List and Label Web Designer and found that installing additional application for all users is not a good idea. Will look for another solutions, may be FastReport.Net. That online designer is realy online and can work not only on Windows.
I need to create a firefox plugin that allows a user to take screenshots of any part of their desktop and have them uploaded to a server. There seems to be lots of plugins for screen capturing a webpage, but nothing for capturing anything outside of firefox. So after a little research I have not found much information on how this might be possible. I don't want to resort to a using a java applet but I will if that is my only option.
Does anyone have advice on how I might create such a feature?
Thanks
I don't think a Firefox addon is the most appropriate approach here. Maybe split the task into a Firefox addon to offer the "upload to a server" component and a native app to do the desktop screenshot (or just integrate with existing screenshot tools).
If you're worried about complicating the installation process for end users, you could look into bundling the addon component and native app into a single installer (e.g. MSI on Windows, RPM on Linux, etc.). You'll have to come up with different apps for each platform you want to support (and maybe even each version - e.g. Windows XP vs Windows 10).
Whatever you decide, you'll probably need to create a more specific question to get further help here (there's no simple Firefox.Addons.API.TakeScreenShot() answer I'm afraid).
Also make sure you're using the right terminology - a plugin is the deprecated NPAPI approach whereas addons are still supported.
I'm actually working on taking native desktop screenshots just in the last coupel of days. I'm using js-ctypes. My work goal is the same exact thing to, upload to server. If you would like to collaborate I am very open to it! We can chat about it on #jsctypes irc channel :) irc://moznet/jsctypes (Mibbit IRC WebApp) If you don't know js-ctypes thats ok i can handle that while you can handle uploading techniques, and an editor on canvas :) The editor is a huge part of it, you can see my ideas/plans here: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/wiki/NativeShot
I'm really really interested in a collab on this!
I'm still working on windows right now, the color is messed up: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/tree/digitanks-method
I was just about to start OSX work following this example here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab/Introduction/Intro.html and here: Take ScreenShot without Window
You can install the addon from that branch and click the icon that gets added to the toolbar, it will take a screenshot with 3sec delay and then append it to the body of the selected tab. (Windows only right now)
Doneskis baby check it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nativeshot/
Got some quirks. Released it as v1.0 though. I'm working on Android support, pretty close. I need to flesh out the editor tools. Please let me know if you're willing to collaborate.
I used to use an add-on for firefox called measureit. Now its not working because of firefox keeps updating all the time and the developer hasn't come out with a version of measure it that is supported by newer versions of firefox. Does anyone know a good pixel ruler add-on for FF?
You could download the web developer toolbar. It has a ruler built in. Once you install it, it will appear in your menu bars in firefox. Click on miscellaneous, then click on display ruler.
You could also try searching "pixel ruler".
Not a Firefox extension (it's a Windows app), but you can try Ruler. It's a simple too that does what it says. You don't even need to install it, just click and use.
It can stay on top of other windows, you can drag the borders to resize and switch between vertical and horizontal rulers. You can even open multiple instances.
I had the same issue with MeasureIt, it stops working with some Firefox updates. I found Ruler and been happy with it so far.
Since I upgraded Firefox Developer Edition there have been serious incompatibilities with my previous add-ons.
Measureit add-on is one of the extensions that are not up to date with the new browser.
I found this alternative that works just fine though not as good as Measure it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browser-ruler/
If you are on Firefox developer option click on the tools icons > choose to Get more tools > search for 'ruler' and add it.
Our company is working with a great Business Intelligence tool CorVu 4.2 to analyse the operational and strategic data. Since several years we are successfully working with Sharepoint 2007 to collaborate and share information with colleagues. Most of my colleagues are working with Internet Explorer 7, but step by step Internet Explorer 8 is implemented in the company.
We share a lot of CorVu files thought Sharepoint, but since we are using Internet Explorer 8, we have a problem that is new for us. If we click on a CorVu file in Internet Explorer 8 (not necessarily in Sharepoint) a pop-up shows how to open the file, if we save the file, there is no problem. But if we open the file, the file is shown in the browser and not in the CorVu client! See the screenshot below:
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/5719/inbrowsershot.jpg
(I removed some unnecessary information)
So far my colleagues accept this 'feature' in Internet Explorer 8. But I we open and closes more CorVu files, multiple errors (more than 10) show up starting with:
(unable to place more hyperlinks)
By pressing Enter the errors disappear, but it's not professional! I contacted the creators of CorVu, but they don't have a solution for in their client. There may be a solution in Internet Explorer 8?
The extensions of a CorVu file can be a .sqy, .tab or .qrp. But is it possible to force the files to open in the standard client instead of the browser?
Check your Add-Ons and see if you can disable the one that is displaying that content.
Tools -> Internet Options -> Programs -> Manage Add-ons
Your screenshot appears to be Excel. You should be able to tweak Excel to remove the in-browser viewer.
Microsoft discusses how to configure the Office-in-browser viewers. There are methods for older computers as well.
If the browser is actually showing the CorVu program, then the CorVu program must have a plugin into IE when it was installed. Try uninstalling IE and reinstalling it without touching CorVu. That should purge all the custom stuff that CorVu did.
