Hm, that's not good :-( What is your OS version and IE default version installed ?

Nickolas · 2009-03-21 11:40:38

Windows Vista Sp1 and IE 7

Thanks for your interest by the way

What is the result on this page :

http://www.my-debugbar.com/ietester/index_all.php

Does it happen all the time when you use IETester ?

Nickolas · 2009-03-21 12:35:20

It seems doing this randomly. Sometimes right, sometimes wrong

Basic Info about browser loading this page

Info Value

HTTP header User Agent string:

I think it's the Cache from one tab being partially used in the next tab.
Example: load that site in an IE7 tab, and then load it in an IE8 tab.
The "HTTP header User Agent string" will be the one from the first loaded tab.
Doing a "Refresh All Complete" should get it right.

fabrice · 2009-03-21 19:10:11

Good point Ricardo. I didn't test it, but will investigate on this side. If that's the case, I will try to isolate cache between ie versions in a future IETester release.

Thanks for the tip !

Nickolas, does it correct the problem when refreshing the cache ?

Nickolas · 2009-03-23 11:02:45

yeap, fabrice.

There is no problem when i refreshing tab. I didnt notice that.

Thanks, Ricardo and fabrice

Craigy · 2009-03-25 09:25:45

Hello!

navigator.appVersion returns MSIE 7.0 in IE8 tab. Refresh All Complete doesn't help...

IETester version 0.3.2, WinXP SP-2, IE7 installed.

fabrice · 2009-03-25 11:12:08

hm, that's strange. Is "MSIE 7.0" the real string that is returned ?

I tested on XPSP2/IE7 and I get :

"4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)"

</html>

Open it in IETester (DebugBar 5.2.2 installed).
IE6 - 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
IE7 - 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)
IE8 - 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0)

Just it wrote corename in ie8...

fabrice · 2009-03-25 12:20:46

Strange, it is working on my side.

Can you check using regedit that the following key exists ? :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

And that there is a value with the name "IETester.exe", of this REG_DWORD and the value is 8888 (decimal value) ?

Thanks.

Craigy · 2009-03-25 13:24:31

Hmmm... I dont' have this key...
In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\
just exists FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN

I add this key, but it still doesn't work(

fabrice · 2009-03-25 13:27:38

That's strange. Should be added during install.

You need to add the key, and also the value "IETester.exe", type REG_DWORD and value 8888 (decimal).

Then, a restart of IETester is needed.

Craigy · 2009-03-25 14:21:05

Big thanks! It's really need to include in next version installer.

I reboot win and it's work fine now!

fabrice · 2009-03-25 14:22:00

ok good. But the key/value is already included into the current version installer... strange.

Some anti-virus programs (like Kaspersky), dont allow change the registry

fabrice · 2009-04-10 17:59:03

Too much security kills security :-)

Ricardo · 2009-04-10 19:53:03

Anti-virus programs usually alert the user when they block something. It includes Kaspersky, unless user disabled notifications.
