IE9 compatibility list - not working? - javascript

My site is on the IE9 compatibility list so is meant to automatically render as IE8 in this browser.
For the majority of users this works fine for them, but we have been getting a small percentage of IE9 users who can't use parts of the site (javascript seems to be the issue).
Does anyone know why this could be happening? Can this compaitibility list be overrided by the user, or can IE9 version or OS effect this?
Any help appreicated - we are pretty puzzled at the mo!

What is causing my images to not load initially in safari. All other browsers seem to work fine

I am currently using the 3d cardflip method on my website and it is working perfectly in Firefox, IE, as well as the IE downgrades I have for older browsers. My issue is arising from the fact that it seems that all Apple iOS devices and Safari will not load the images and information on the cards on the initial load of the page but only when a hard reload or a simple reload of the page is performed. I have tried everything I can think of to fix the issue and I have not been able to find any information regarding the issue either. Any help would be gladly appreciated! The page that is not working is http://www.paytonandsam.com/about_sam.html
Please test this website on Safari Version 5.1.5, 6.0.2,6.0.3 i.e. a higher version of Safari browser. Because now safari browser is faster and flexible than the older version.

Firefox Javascript Error / Oddity / Weirdness. Any Explanations?

If you view this page...
http://eastlondondance.org/admin/MozillaProblem/example.php
...you'll find that there are no errors but that the functionality is not working.
The last dropdown is not being populated with options like the other 2. This however works on Safari, Chrome and IE.
What gives? Why isn't it working on Firefox Linux, PC or Mac but is on all other browsers?
Is it a problem with the code or a problem with Firefox?
Any help is much appreciated.
cheers,

Firefox is having problems with the variable name of performance. While I'm not certain why this is, renaming this to anything else will allow it to display in firefox. In the example below I renamed it from performance to performancex.
Example: http://benjaminhopkins.co.uk/stackoverflow/firefox.html
From the comments above seems not everyone see the problem? Maybe it could be a extension / plugin causing the issue. Using the developer toolbar and hovering performance firefox reveals the following:
Performance { constructor=Performance,
timing=PerformanceTiming,
navigation=PerformanceNavigation}

Site is reacting bizarre on a netbook (divs not completely displayed)

When I'm testing my website on a normal notebook, I have no problem with my website but when I'm testing this website on a Netbook (mini laptop) it has a strange behaviour.
You can see the website here:
http://www.benskesblog.com/projects/frontend/project/index.htm
(it works on IE9 and other modern browsers).
When I try it on my netbook the images aren't displayed completely. When I scroll I see another part of the images. Very strang. I've tested it on another netbook (and on other browsers) and I have the same problem. You can see it here:

Does someone now what's going on?
Thanks!
For starters, IE9 isn't "modern" - it's "bleeding edge".
Also, your page doesn't work at all in IE6 - which is arguably the most common browser out there.
So you've really got two questions you need to ask:
1) What is the minimum browser I'll support (for example, IE9+FF7+Safari5 #1024x768 truecolor resolution)?
2) How will I degrade gracefully for users who don't support my minimum requirements?

Canvas application not working in IE9 & working incorrectly in FF4b7

I'm working on an online roguelike game. It's current version is located here. It's working fine in Chrome 9 and Firefox 3.6, but it makes Firefox 4 beta 7 unresponsive for about a minute on every move and IE9 just says that it doesn't support <canvas> tag.
Could someone please explain these strange behaviours of IE9 and FF4b7?
Thank you very much.
In IE9 hit F12 and you'll see your site is loading in quirks mode which is why it doesn't have canvas. From F12 you can switch it and see that you're site does work if it is in IE9 standards mode.
I think you want to put DOCTYPE html before everything else to avoid this.

I am posting this in case it helps someone else (I found this page when I was googling)
Pages worked fine in Firefox
In IE9 pages were working locally, but not from server. ("getContext not supported etc. etc.")
Had run out of ideas, but noticed that a trial of part of my page containing canvas did work.
Long story short:-
My pages were .htm and so I thought "Is there an HTML5 standard ?" well I'm not sure if there is but when I changed all pages to .html the site behaved as intended in IE9 with all canvas elements working.

Debugging Internet Explorer crashes

I am not interested in some program that I have to pay for, but I really need a way to debug my website in Internet Explorer.
The url is http://www.tombarrasso.com/final/
The issue with IE's built in debugger is that my webpage crashes IE if you open three scrollers and click the right arrow. In Safari and Firefox all is well, not terribly fast but not terribly slow. But IE completely freezes and crashes, which ruins my chance of using the built in profiler. It is getting to the point I am about to put a message for all IE users telling them to go elsewhere, but I would like to get the site to work because everything else even works in IE6 (crazy).
Try Firebug Lite
And on a side note I would recommend changing your color scheme, it isn't easy on the eyes. Here is another resource that could help you with that. Color Scheme Designer
