Troubleshooting Internet Explorer If there’s one thing that’s always important to keep in mind when developing Web-based applications, then it’s the settings of the browsers running the applications.
For example, Internet Explorer through its many iterations has come with a large number of quirks and settings options that vary by browser version. The number of configuration options in IE has increased significantly in version 9, which gives more control to users but mostly ends up causing confusion and support calls.
I myself find the options somewhat confusing so I intend to write a series of articles in an effort to clear the basics up.
This article in particular will cover problems and ways of dealing with IE add-ons.
Read this First
Before starting to troubleshoot IE, I suggest skimming the Internet Explorer Microsoft support knowledge-base for relevant information.
More specifically, Microsoft offers a well written debugging article for Internet Explorer that goes in detail through steps for users to take in solving problems with IE. I found this article useful since sometimes when browsing to a Web application, users can’t even see the main page and just see an error saying “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”.
Although the article is specific to a single problem, the troubleshooting steps are almost universally applicable with some interesting hints as well.

Classic ASP Revisited I’m revisiting some classic ASP functionality, and in this case I’m reviewing how to set up a simple database connection to a SQL Server database. There are of course several ways to get this to work, and in this case we will use the SQLOLEDB provider.
Classic ASP is Still Used and Maintained
There are many applications built 10+ years ago, or still being built using the classic ASP framework. In my opinion this was a solid and very usable framework. ASP has been supplanted long ago by the ASP.NET framework which qualifies as a full programming language with a vast library of functionality to call on. However ASP is still used and does provide a simple and efficient way to get the job done.
