IE June Chat Transcript Online
The transcript from the June 8th chat is now available online. The chat was a lot of fun as we kept up with the frantic pace of answering the stream of questions in the hour available. Donuts, as usual, kept us going. Keep an eye on the chat schedule at https://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/chats/default.mspx for upcoming chats. We typically hold the IE chats on the second Thursday of every month.
Thanks to everyone who showed up for their feedback and we hope to see you at the next chat.
Cheers,
Uche

Why can't i used the outlook to send email using my email account in hotmail? this error continue to appear in my screen (since the window for error detailed cannot attached nor copy here): " Sending reported error (0x800CCF6)): 'The server responded 'Access to Hotmail via Outlook and Outlook Express require a subscription. Please sign up at http://join.msn.com/general/Email.'
I don't understand why i still need to sign up the fact that i have an email account in hotmail.Anonymous

OMG I just told someone, "yeah, of course they fixed it in IE7, its so basic..." and then of course I checked...
There is still no support for (CSS):
input[type=checkbox]{
/* special styles, only for checkboxes */
}
This works in every other browser. I thought this was one of the (top 10) fixes for IE7?...
Seriously not amused.

DOUBLE OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I laughed so hard, when I first saw the file dialog (for input elements of type="file") in Windows XP. (each and every version/service pack)
It was obviously styled like Windows 95. I pressume at some point, rather than referencing the dialog in Windows, it was embedded in the iexplore application/dll.
I open up IE7, on XP, and IT IS STILL!!!! styled like is was in 1995.
LIKE ELEVEN YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!
Way to snaz up the browser and make it look modern.
Please tell me that this will be fixed by the next Beta.Anonymous

IE7 seems to work ok with everything I do. I do think it runs slower and I know that My Favorites is now to be avoided like the plague. It is aweful. Thankfully I have alternatives like roboform to get where I want to go.Anonymous

Ron, what would you rather they say? User says, "Hey, my browser does strange things, can you fix it?" IE team says, "Yes we will fix it." ?
Unfortuantely they need more info than that. "Can you narrow it down to a specific scenario, that we can then try to reproduce on our machines?" A bug needs clear instructions on how to reproduce.
Ok, I will say that their wording is poor. "figure out what causes it" implies that the user needs to do all the work. The IE team will do the "figuring out of cause", but only if the user can narrow it down.Anonymous

@Ferdinand: Some time ago, Hotmail changed such that only MSN Plus subscribers could use OE to sync. Hotmail accounts which were hooked up with OE before that change were "grandfathered" in. I believe the upcoming Windows Live Mail Desktop client allows an OE/Hotmail-style interaction.Anonymous

IE7 runs slow, and is unstable. I followed
your directions the other day and save myself
from crashing, I don't have time in my life for this mess!
At times IE7 does not respond the way
I am use to my computer responding.
And strangely since installed, I cann't find
'My Computer' anywhere.
I am not a computer buff, just someone who got
sent this download in the email from Microsoft.
I dont understand most of your lingo, I want my old
IE6 back,
this one quacks.
Please release me from this SLOW running plague and let me go on with my life...
how do I get IE 6 back without losing all my files??????Anonymous

@marc:
(wipes coffee from keyboard)
Hehehehe... good one.
It does solve the problem, but convincing some that the (Internet != the blue e) is very tricky.
Most folks I know, use Firefox now, but they will consider moving back to IE, if it catches up nicely.
Firefox will always be the developers choice, for its robust tools, options, and standards compliance, but for the average Joe/Jane that just surfs over to Amazon.com or MSN.com, I hope that IE7 will be all they need.
Eagerly waiting to deprecate IE6,

@Fduch: IE7 binaries are code-reviewed by multiple people and digitally signed to prevent tampering.
You should run an antivirus program and an antispyware program. It sounds like you might have infected your machine with something that's causing you problems in other applications.Anonymous

@Marcella
To get back to IE6 go to Control Panel and Add/remove programs. You should see IE7 Beta 2Anonymous

I haven't had a single problem and I've been using IE7 at work and home over a month!
IE7 is my favorite browser - thanks MS!
Oh... not a MS problem but when I use IE7 I can't upload images to eBay..
They tell me to reinstall IE6, I tell them - I just won't upload images! Can't go back now...Anonymous

Seems like there might be a problem with codepage detection in XML pages written in Russian. Not exactly the end of the world.Anonymous

Sure, I see the same thing. But it's not exactly the end of the world that XML pages written in Russian don't render correctly.
They call these "bugs". Welcome to beta-testing.Anonymous

Bij deze wil ik alleen maar kwijt dat ik met windows vista beta2 geen problemen ervaar.
wat ik wel mis is dat windowsXP overzichtelijker is dan vista, daar bedoel ik mee het configuratiescherm.
proficiat verders met dit programma.

@IE Dev Toolbar team
It would be SOOOOOOO cool if you could add the ability to watch DOM events... / variables etc.
E.g. When trying to determine what keyCode is generated when pressing a particular key, such a tool would be great. (I know cause in Firefox, I just did it, without breaking a sweat)
Oh well, time to write a function...Anonymous

Great question. It's quite clear that Microsoft has the resources and talent to support CSS2 fully in IE and that plenty of people have reminded them why this is important. So, why don't they do it? The fundamental reason, I believe, is that standards don't benefit monopolists. Accepted, well-functioning, standards lower the barrier of entry to a market, and is therefore a threat to a monopolist.
From that perspective, it makes sense to leave CSS2 half-implemented. You can claim support (and many journalists will believe you), and you also ensure that no-one can use the unimplemented (or worse: buggily implemented) features of the standard. The only way to change the equation is to remind Microsoft how embarrassing it is to offer a sub-standard browser. And to use better browsers.
Another reason for not making a IE too good is that it will compete with Windows. A modern browser is an application platform; the combination of HTML, JavaScript, CSS and DOM allows developers to target the web instead of Windows, Linux, or Mac.

The only problems I have seen with Vista is that Media player is a little buggy with my DVR/PVR that runs great on my XPS. I appreciate and am surprised that they incorporated Media Player with Vista since usally you have to purchase a machine with the Media Center installed on it. BitComet along with with Google talk seems to have some issues running on this current format. Other than that this appears to be a good Beta version.Anonymous
