IE7 Feedback and Support
Hello, my name is Kellie, I am a Lead Program Manager on the IE Team. First and foremost, the IE team would like to thank everyone in the community who contributed feedback to the IE7 release. You guys rock! This release was the first time we used the Microsoft Connect site to collect feedback for the public beta. We learned a lot of lessons from this feedback program, and we intend to make it better next time around. We received an overwhelming response from you and your efforts provided great ideas and drove important bug fixes. IE7 is now live, but this is not the end… The IE team is looking forward to the next version, and we are dedicated to listening to your ideas in the next beta release. We appreciate your support!
Now that you have downloaded IE7, getting any help you may need is easy. The Internet Explorer7 support page is an excellent resource for assistance. Here you will find a list of FAQs, contact information for phone support and links to Microsoft discussion groups. In addition, Web Developers can visit The Microsoft Internet Explorer Developer Center for the latest information on IE Web Development or to participate in the IE Web Development forum. Now that we have shipped, the IE feedback site is temporarily closed, but look for it to reopen in the future.
We encourage you to take full advantage of the support channels when needing help with IE7. Thanks again for all of your help!
Kellie Eickmeyer

I appreciate the effort making IE7 a better browser, but now this is only an end-user release. For a corporate PC with MUI, it seems to be more problems, because the MUI isn't applied after the IE7 installation. Will there be a new MUI pack version released or an update ? We really need to have MUI packs functional for our users which speak english or french only, and we'd like to deploy IE7 as soon as it is ready.Anonymous

One thing that I have noticed that Firefox does that your browser apparently does not is that in Firefox I can drag and drop a web link onto a blank tab and the link will open in that tab. For some dumb reason, when I try this in IE7, no matter how many blank tabs I have open, the original tab from which the link came is the tab that always opens the new page, not any of the blank tabs that I try to drop it on. This is counter, I believe, to what one should expect. Why does this not work?Anonymous

When you guys say future beta releases, are there going to be patches to IE7 or will this be IE8?Anonymous

Biggest pain ever: The navigation controls are separated by the address bar. Why: If you have a wide screen, click the back or forward button and then want to stop or reload the page, you have to move the mouse a considerable distance to click. (A keyboard is not always available for shortcuts...think during a presentation). Now think about doing a demo where you are making changes to a website and have to hit back and refresh several times... Why it is even a bigger pain: I could live with this 'default' layout, but users are not allow to reposition the button locations within IE 7. I can not move the refresh and stop button from their current location. I can do this in Firefox and even in Safari on a Mac, why can't I do this in IE if the default layout does not work for me?Anonymous

@Alex Klimov: I'm very interested in seeing a live repro URL for your issue. Please send me a URL. (ericlaw at microsoft). While it doesn't sound like this is the same issue, the most common problem with webforms is when you mistakenly nest one form inside of another. HTML specifications don't permit this, and IE fails to post.Anonymous

@Alex: The reason this page doesn't work is that your .ASPX page has a bug in it. The onSubmit attribute points to a script event handler, not a HREF. Your HTML form declaration is: onsubmit="javascript:return WebForm_OnSubmit();" This is incorrect. It should read: onsubmit="return WebForm_OnSubmit();" I removed the extraneous "Javascript:" using Fiddler's editing capability. Now the data is submitted and the server returns the string "Works". Thanks for the URL!Anonymous

@Bill: Yes, this annoys me too. I think there's a suggestion over on Connect about this missing feature, but it was postponed for this release. The earliest I would expect to see it would be the next major release - it's not the kind of thing that would appear in a service pack, I suspect. Hopefully MS will revert to the pre-IE6 release schedule of releasing a new version every 18 months or so.Anonymous

Great job. I just downloaded the latest IE7 and it appears that the CSS bug "Absolutely Buggy II" is not fixed by this final release, although the IE blog claims it to be fixed. <http://positioniseverything.net/abs_relbugs.html> <http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/08/22/712830.aspx>Anonymous

Gratis IE team for finally getting past 6. To this comment: "Hopefully MS will revert to the pre-IE6 release schedule of releasing a new version every 18 months or so." I would like to add that as you are ctching up ground still and have a lot of open issues I would suggest you add a quick userexperience/minor rendering release next for IE8 within the year which adds more user feaure like downloadmanager and extensibility and for rendering mainly some fixes for remaining bugs and then a major rendering release for IE9 where remaining major rendering CSS 2.1 issues are resolved and also more CSS 3 rendering is looked at.Anonymous

Re: "users are not allow[ed] to reposition the [top menu] button locations" comment above. That UI problem might well be the biggest reason I won't be using IE7. C'mon Microsoft! IE7's competitors don't have a problem letting users control how their top menu area is arraigned. A defacto standard has been in place for what? Years? How utterly GOOFY is it to see the address bar above the menu bar? How thoroughly FRUSTRATING is it to find out one cannot move and/or dock these sections at all? Why would a user want to do that? Hmmm, maybe just to make the browser conform to the user's browsing behavior and habits. With IE7 Microsoft is basically telling me, my browsing behavior and habits don't matter. If you're gonna use IE7, you're gonna do it our way. We're Microsoft and we're in control here! We know best! Well, my response is pretty simple. I chose not to use. I decline. Uninstall. Ugghhh.Anonymous

I just installed IE 7 and one of the first things I did was access web outlook on exchange 2003. When clicking reply on an email and sending it, IE crashes. I investigated further and it turns out that the mime activex control is causing the problem. After I disabled this control, I can send email. This seems like a bug which should have been caught in testing since exchange is a microsoft product.Anonymous

"Actually most pages print now perfectly fine without the use of CSS. This is one of the best features about IE7." Whilst that is (mainly) true (I do like the adjustable margins feature in the Print Preview), the whole point of print stylesheets is to provide a hardcopy output that doesn't necessarily include all the visual furniture you get on a web page. An example is a the common three column layout; menu, content, sidebar. Which is the most important of those? The content. The particular page the user is on is most important to the user because they chose to navigate there. If they want a printout, they want the content on that page not the menu. This also is a far better alternative to all those horrible "printer friendly" links that litter the net as it is a lot easier to maintain than two distinct versions of the same page.Anonymous

So you finally released IE7. But, I'm afraid a number of issues remain unsolved. I'm kinda user interface fan, and I realize that there are serious problems in this area where Microsoft used to act very well. Actually, I learned from MS how these things should be, and I'm becoming disappointed with the stuff I'm seeing in IE. 1-NOT LETTING THE USER REPOSITION THE MENU BAR?! HOW'S THAT POSSIBLE FOR MS?!! This one is serious! 2-Have you realized that when moving from one tab to another, the menu bar kind of 'stretches'? it becomes wider, and the menu titles are repositioned to move toward the center of the menu bar(vertically.) It gives the user some sort of instability feeling. It kept me wondering that, in programming world, such things don't happen accidentally, you know, unless there is a serious problem lying in there that can not be solved. is that the case?! 3-Have you taken a look at the UI in Windows Classic style?! What was wrong with a normal tab control that you decided to paint the active tab that way? It doesn't look so beautiful. 4-I didn't have the opportunity to test it, but I hope you fixed the bug where I couldn't remove those extra(newly added) buttons (like RSS Feed, Print, etc.) from the toolbar. I remember when I chose to remove them, they were back the next time I ran IE! I'm confused at the way IE works, because these issues were so normal and obvious that they should have been fixed from the beginning, before even the first beta came out. Anyway, keep up the good work.Anonymous

Wow! How did this get through beta testing? Under the hood, things seem fine. Fast renders, nice new security features. That stuff, is very welcom. But the UI?! Man, it stinks. As superrcat noted, the navigation features are all spread around. That's not nice to the user. As Ehsan pointed out, the menu bar placement is equally troubling. If you go full screen, the icons practically disappear off to the right side of the screen. What's wrong with clustering your icons together? It's an accepted UI convention that happens to work. At least give the users the flexibility (like Firefox), to move stuff around if the default layout produces this much pain.Anonymous

"Now that we have shipped, the IE feedback site is temporarily closed, but look for it to reopen in the future." Why has Microsoft taken down connect.microsoft.com/ie - the collective effort of its technical userbase to catalog IE7's bugs - just when it's needed most (as sites break during its deployment)? When you say it will "reopen", will the suggestions people have made still be on the system when it returns, or will we have to resubmit them? Where are people supposed to send bug reports and suggestions in the meantime? How are they supposed to know such reports/suggestions haven't already been made, or to indicate their support for them being fixed or implemented? A community forum cannot replace a proper bug tracker.Anonymous

Seems I'm not alone in my distaste for the new UI on Internet Explorer. It's the elephant in the room that Microsoft refuses to recognize is there. They explain it has to be this way because of Vista, but maybe it will be changed in IE8. Because the new UI in Vista also disappoints me, I've decided my organization won't be adopting either. (IE7 Blocker has already been applied to AD Group Policy.) I hope IE8 gives us the ability to customize the toolbars layout once again and the ability to remove the Search utility. To the developers I say, get working on 8 already because I aint using 7.Anonymous

@Tino: I was mistaken before. The problem is that his server is returning extremely broken content (two complete HTML pages in a single HTTP response with a blob of nulls in the middle).

Hi! Maybe you can help me to address the problem or advice who should be contacted regarding the issue we had with IE7. There seems to be some confusion wither IE is affected by the Vector Markup Language (VML) vulnerability. The bulletin MS06-055 itself states that XP SP2 is affected, and you need to download the update. But you try to install the update on some XP SP2 machines running IE 7, it won't install. Can it be somehow clarified in the bulletin so people will quit asking me about it.Anonymous

I'm not sure if you care about this one (since you don't seem to care about many of the problems) but when I have more than 1 tab connecting to web sites, when I try to change tabs, IE hangs and then responds after a while. Sometimes it just hangs the system entirely (uses too much CPU) and I have to close it by Task Manager. I'm using AMD Athlon 1.5 GHZ and 512 MBs of RAM, and I think thats enough for a web browser. So the problem must be somewhere in IE. With the other issues I've encountered using IE7, I don't think it was a good time to release IE. It has some obvious problems and should have remained under beta testing and debugging for some more time. Now, you have to make service packs for it and I think it is a little soon for that.Anonymous

@Adam: Yes, a search site can tell if the user has installed its search provider (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/issearchproviderinstalled.asp). This is a relatively new API, so I suspect that many sites aren't yet using it. @Japzer: Please provide a step-by-step repro of where "Open in new tab" isn't working for you. @Alex: Your server is still returning incorrect HTTP output. There are 27,712 trailing null bytes after your HTML page. (I'm curious about how you managed to do this?) After I remove the trailing nulls with Fiddler, your page reports that it "works". img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mezer1021220144nu2.jpgAnonymous

@Tino Zijdel: <<is actually the doing of the .NET framework? If it is then you've got some really incompetent people>> I'm not an HTML expert, but I believe this is an attempt to deal with the fact that Intrinsic Event attributes are interpreted as being written in the language specified by the Content-Script-Type (see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html#events). However, ASPNET event handlers are always written Javascript, which isn't necessarily the language specified for Content-Script-Type. I wasn't able to find any RFCs covering this (I didn't look too hard, but given that all of the browsers appear to support it, it may be a de facto standard). In real world usage, I suspect this distinction is pretty much academic because of Javascript's overwhelming dominance as the client scripting language of choice.Anonymous
October 21, 2006
@Eric: Could look carefully please: your proxing tool really catch "null tail" when it comes to IE7, or IE7 somehow strangely interprets this html and adds this kind of tail? The reasion is: other browsers do not show this tail. Fiddler (version 1.2.0.7) shows server response as normal html with just six br's at the end (even when it was sent to IE7). And, you must be right, all broken pages has "null tail" in IE7. And when I change static html a little (remove empty <tr> tags in the header), and page begin to work - it has no additional nulls. So it is a problem how IE7 process some kind of html elements on this page, isn't it?Anonymous
October 21, 2006
Guys, it is our bug with our filter (working for image-url rewriting). Sometimes its output contains "null tails". May be IE7 shouldn't have such problems with content of this kind, but it's not look like IE7 critical bug now. Thanks for your attention. And special thanks to Eric Lawrence. I'll try to fix it, remove null tail and write here result.Anonymous
October 22, 2006
Well, it was fixed, tested and now works fine in IE7 too. The problem was: filter was based upon MemoryStream. When filtering output was big enough - MemoryStream doubled its buffer and fill it with nulls. A lot of them wasn't replaced with real value, but we sent them to output too. And IE7 crushed with this kind of page. And now, gents, please take a look at this problem at following point: could it be a potential security issue? It seems that null at the end of the page means a lot for IE7. This even changes its behavior. Could here be a problem with buffer overflow, accessing to unmanaged memory and the same staff?Anonymous

MCE2005 WMP10 (or 11) Instlal IE7 Cover art embedded into file (mp3 or wma) Covert art (album view) under MCE works fine (Album ARt Fixer or just ripping under WMP) While the cover art works FINE inside of WMP10/11, when you PLAY the track itself you get a black cover art image. Uninstall / rollback to ie6 fixes this problem. http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/145047.aspx http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/120644.aspx Any help I can give .... Best SteveAnonymous

The Black cover art goes away if you rollback to ie6 :) Seriously, many many people have been hammering this issue since Beta/RC1/RC2. We cannot get ANYONE at MS to take this seriously. I really really wish they could see the problem and test it.Anonymous

I do not want my cover art to all turn black and this seems to be a complicated issue - or I am sure it would have been fixed through all the betas and RC. So it looks like IE7 simply breaks MCE. MS should state that IE7 is NOT for MCE machines.Anonymous

IE 7.0 Messes up printing of HTML formatted e-mails from Outlook 2003. All those mails arfe scaled so tiny because of the auto resize feature improving printing from explorer. This alone is more of apain to me, then any possible improvement IE 7.0 migh offer. I need to print mails daily, I do not need to print websites daily. I am no forced to do constant cut and paste to word, to get a print of a mail and I then loose the header which prints from Outlook. A real mess, will a quick service pack fix this ?Anonymous

Has anyone noticed this bug: If a select element has a percentage width set in its style its width shrinks when you swap elements with .swapNode() try this code: <html> <script language="javascript"> function doClick() { s.options[4].swapNode(s.options[3]); } </script> <body> <select id="s" size=10 style="min-width:100%"> <option>Option1</option> <option>Option2</option> <option>Option3</option> <option>Option4</option> <option>Option5</option> <option>Option6</option> <option>Option7</option> <option>Option8</option> <option>Option9</option> <option>Option10</option> <option>Option11</option> <option>Option12</option> </select><br/> <button onClick="doClick()">Click Me</button> </body> </html>Anonymous

When selecting "Open pop-ups in a new tab" and "Open new tabs next to the current tab", the the pop-up opens in a tab to the right. When closing that pop-up tab, the active tab should be the one to the left (the previous active tab), not the one to the right of the closed pop-up tab.Anonymous

Eric, Have you been able to reproduce the MCE2005 cover art bug? Again, you can browse the folders fine (and see the artwork) but when you play the a song the cover art goes blackAnonymous

When you post a form via script: <form name="myform" action="file.asp" target="_blank"> <input type="text" name="somefield"></input> </form> <button onclick="myform.submit()">Submit</button> A new window opens. On the new window if you add a window.close() method to anything you get a security error. Error does not occur in IE6 or below. Is this by design or a bug???Anonymous

Hi, I just noticed some extra disk activity that has been happening since upgrading to IE7. I ran filemon and watched it for a few minutes and IE7 appears to be polling the file C:Documents and settingsAaronlocal settingsapplication dataurltraceblocked domains.txt once every second. Is this normal? I thought it might be related to the MS Research addon MSR Strider URL Tracer so I disabled it but it still polls once a second.Anonymous

@Aaron: As far as I know, this isn't part of IE. Try running IE without addons (enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp) and see if this file is still consulted. @EB: Many people don't actually click on the back button in the window, because there are many other ways to go back... Many mice have a built-in back button. On the keyboard, backspace or CTRL+LEFT goes back. My favorite tweak is the mouse gestures plugin (see www.enhanceie.com/ie/essentials.asp) which allows you to go back by holding the right mouse button and dragging left, or by clicking the right-button and then the left-button.Anonymous

Opinions 1.) back and forward buttons too small and just look out of place. 2.) so far the only place I noticed that you can tell if a page is loading or not is on the tab which is annoying since all past browsers have a marker in the top right.. 3.) I like the quick tab previews, cool eye candy. 4.) I guess you can probably customize more of the top part of the browser but by default it looks lacking and generic. From a quick glance that's just what I see, MY opinions. Also... Did ie6 get replaced on install of ie7 and if so is it possible to reinstall 6? From a web development view I would like both.Anonymous

How do I move the back an forht buttons - heck, to customize the top bar. I have had my browser buttons set one way in all my browsers, to the right of the address bar: Back Reload Stop Forward --then, depending on the browser, I have had things like new tab or new window button to the left of the address bar. The browser seems pretty nice, but I've gotten used to being able to customize things the way I want. Also, any idea on how to put the menu back where it is supposed to be - I don't like to think, and if I want use a UI, I want things where things are in all my other applications. This is definitely in the right direction, except for the lack of ability to customize things, which I've been used to in IE6, FireFox and Opera. Thank, Jim Tom Polk jtpolk@gmail.comAnonymous

I upgraded my IE to 7.0 recently. I like it a lot. The only problem is that the TABBED browsing function does not work with my Dell 600m computer, where Windows XP Home Edition (SP2) has been installed. Everytime I clicked the "new tab" button, the whole browser was just shut down and disappeared. No error msgs pop up. FYI, I am meanwhile using Netscape Browser...Anonymous

@Alex Arian: You should search your harddisk for PSAPI.DLL and rename any copies that are not in the Windows System folder to something like PSAPI.OLD. The problem is that some software is shipping older versions of PSAPI that are not compatible with current software. On XP and above, PSAPI is a system dll and does not need to be redistributed. We're working with software vendors to get them to stop installing this file.Anonymous
