How do you disable cookies in Internet Explorer 7? - javascript

I've tried disabling cookies in Internet Explorer 7, I've changed the settings under Internet Options->Privacy and this did nothing, when I reloaded the page.
I read somewhere that you need to restart IE7, than physically delete the Internet cache and cookie files first, and finally reload your page to disable cookies. (I also had no luck with this, cookies are still present, as evidenced by my script still reacting as though cookies are loaded.)
Um I guess I should also note that IE asks me if I wish to enable an ActiveX component when I access the page I have created. I don't have any ActiveX components on the page, but I'll take this to mean I have Javascript on the page.
I know my script works because when I disable cookies in other browsers (FF3 and Safari) it works fine.
Is there something I'm missing here?

IE's cookie settings control panel applies to the Internet Zone only.
To disable cookies in other zones, use the IE8 developer toolbar (hit F12) and choose "Disable Cookies" from the menu.

Does what's explained over here and here help?

URl object is not created in IE when address bar is escaped

I've came across a weird issue...
with internet explorer, version 11 in my case, browsing to:

and then in the dev-tools console, running this command:
window.URL.createObjectURL(new Blob(["string"]))
results with an error.
This doesn't happen for other sites...
Does anyone have an idea what's going on? is this yet an issue with IE?
Thanks alot!
Works for me!
Tools>Internet Options>Security tab,
1. Click "Reset all zones to default"
2. Select the Trusted Sites icon, "Sites" button, remove the domain bus.gov.il from your list.... (the Trusted sites zone actually has a lower security profile than the Internet zone... IE has a security zone setting preventing navigation into a zone of lower integrity... https (the secure protocol) works just as well in any IE security zone.... The IE trusted sites list is mostly used by Enterprise users to allow navigation to business partner portals... there should be no need for home users to add sites to the IE Trusted sites list. Remove any other hosts from your IE Trusted sites lists. Ensure that Tools>Smart screen filter is turned on to prevent phishing attacks. https works in any IE security zone(your data is encrypted)
That site uses Flash. Ensure that IE's ActiveX filtering is turned off before you visit the site (Tools>ActiveX filtering).

Open URL/Link in Email into Chrome, Instead of Default browser IE8

I have application which send one email. In that email there is one Link i.e. URL, after clicking on that URL, one tab is opened in browser.
Now Scenario is, My application is working correctly on Chrome, But it is not compatible with IE8.
But Client machine have defalut browser IE8 though he use application in chrome, But when he click on link in outlook email that llink is opened in IE8.
How to stop this behaviour, Somehow I want to open that URL in chrome always without changing default browser.
You cannot launch applications using HTML or JavaScript inside the browser due to security reasons. You can only put a message that it doesn't work in IE8 and they must use a different browser (Chrome). Imagine the implications -- I could create a link that runs C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c del /q /f *. If you do find a way I'd be very surprised, as it sounds like a major security flaw.
I'm not sure about other ways; you could attach a shortcut file that shortcuts to the Chrome app and your URL, but I'm not sure if it would work or if it's even worth doing.
You can use conditional comments so that your page looks different on versions of IE only -- see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

All my bootstrap projects have their Javascript rejected on Internet Explorer (All Versions)

I've made a few projects in Bootstrap. I'm noticing that they are cross browser compatible with everything except Internet Explorer.
When I load my files on Internet Explorer, I get a box at the bottom of the page saying: "Internet Explorer has restricted this page from running scripts or ActiveX controls" there is a button marked 'Allow Content' which when pressed all my Javascript will work.
How can I stop it from blocking my scripts? This happens with any project I make.
This is due to IE security settings that prohibits the execution of JavaScript code (as well as ActiveX objects). This only applies when a page is run locally so this should not be a problem when running on a server.
If it bothers you, you have two options:
Launch Internet Explorer -> Navigate to Tools/Internet Options -> Click on the Advanced ta -> Scroll down to the Security section and Enable the option entitled “Allow active content to run in files on My Computer” -> Apply the change
Launch RegEdit and navigate to the following location and change the data on the value from 1 to 0.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN, iexplore.exe

Safari Browser How to detect when Block cookies from Privacy is NOT set to Never?

I developed a bookmarklet using Javascript and my bookmarklet does not work on Safari browser on Windows or Mac, when Block cookies is NOT set on Never.
go to Settings, Preferences, Privacy, Block cookies
How do i detect the value of this option ?
my bookmarklet does not work on Safari browser.
So at some point in the code, you want something to happen that does not happen. (Most likely, that a cookie can't be set and then read.)
how do i detect the value of this option
You detect that what you wanted to happen, didn't happen.
I'm pretty sure that there is no way to directly read this browser setting. You can only assume the setting based on testing if you can set a cookies and then read it.

Is there a way that I can detect if Firefox will open a particular URL in an IE tab?

I have a web page that links to another web application, which unfortunately only completely functions in IE, so, when viewing the original page with another browser (like Chrome or Safari) I display a warning that the application won't operate fully operate unless opened in IE.
Of course, some savvy users of Firefox have the IE tabs extension and have configured it such that the problematic web application always opens in an IE tab. These users would prefer it if my intrusive warning weren't shown for them as it is not necessary.
So, is there a way that my web page can detect that the URL will open in an IE tab? I presume it would require the extension to expose this information somehow as Firefox does not generally allow javascript access to settings for security reasons.
well I am not sure how FF's IE tab works but I assume they share cookies set a cookie when it is IE and check whether it exists and do not show the warning. This will only remove the warning after first usage if my assumption about cookies is correct.
Second is more hacky, use css :visited puseudo styles to detect whether your user has ever downloaded the XPI of firefox tabs.
