Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1

Hi,

I just instaled IE Beta 1, and now I am having difficulty formatting my message. The message mode wont allow me to select to normal. It always places Paragraph whatever I choose. And there is an error indicated on the page:

Line: 54
Char: 3
Error: Invalid Argument
Code: 0

http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/Addpost.aspx?ForumID=53

Is the forum really having problems regarding IE 7? Or is it just my installation....

cheers,

Paul June A. Domag

Hi,

Just an update. The smileys won't work. I think that the editor has gone haywire...

Same thing happens to me. None of the toolbars work.
Dropdowns still work, but if I click on the toolbar buttons I get javascript errors.

Hi,

Just a follow-up. Is this a known bug of the forum? Or is this just a bug on ie7?

cheers,

I'm looking into this. I remember seeing another thread on this somewhere, but I'm having difficulty finding it. I'm currently running IE7 beta 1, and I can't repro the javascript error, but the emoticons aren't working and I can't seem to get out of paragraph mode either. I tried the editor in Firefox 1.0.6, and it worked fine. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of IE6 lying around anymore. I'm going to look and see if a bug has been filed about this yet, and if not, I'll file one.

Thanks for your help!

I have the same problem.

*.microsoft.com is in my trusted sites list. I get the same error on line 54. If I press the VB code button I get:

Line: 225
Char: 9
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0

If I view the source of the page there is no code at line 225...

I found another issue with IE7 Beta1:
When implementing an IE Explorerbar the windows dimensions are reported incorrectly if the Explorerbar was open on IE startup.

Below is the code:

STDMETHODIMP CExplorerBar::SetSite(IUnknown* pUnkSite)
{
if (_pSite)
{
_pSite->Release();
_pSite = NULL;
}

// Get the parent window.
IOleWindow* pOleWindow;

if (SUCCEEDED(pUnkSite->QueryInterface(IID_IOleWindow,
(LPVOID*)&pOleWindow)))
{
pOleWindow->GetWindow(&_hwndParent);
pOleWindow->Release();
}

_ASSERT(_hwndParent);
if (!_hwndParent)
return E_FAIL;

RECT rcClient;
GetClientRect(_hwndParent, &rcClient);
The rcClient rectangle reports an invalid width (right = 4) instead of the real width.
This issue doesn't happen with IE6. It only happens with IE7 (beta1) when the Explorer bar window was open on startup.

If this is not the right forum to report Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1 issues, please forward this bug report to the Internet Explorer 7 development team.

Best regards,

Peter
