Opening folders in IE8 in the same window - html

I have encountered a problem that I have never seen before. Usually, when I tried to surf through my folders in IE, it always worked for me, and if I put various directory links inside of, I am able to go back and forth and check out all of them.
Example: I have 1 .html file. When you open it, it show 4 links to 4 directories on my desktop. When I click them, it opens that directory in the same window, and I can click back to check out the other directories too.
This worked fine in IE6 and IE7, but in IE8, a new window opens up, and there is nothing I can do.
Just a simple example:
<BODY>
<a href="c:\temp" >same window </a>
</BODY>
Usually, anything similar to that always did the trick, but not anymore. I have tried target="_self" tags, and still nothing.
Is there a way I can fix this WITHOUT tampering with the registry or running it as Admin, because I saw several solutions like that.
Thanks :)

in IE go to options, general, tabs, setting, change 'when a pop-up is encountered' to new window

From what I researched, it is a known feature that was omitted for this version, so you can't open it in the same window. Several solutions, such as registry manipulations have been suggested, but none of them worked for me. As said, it works in IE6/7 and I heard (not tried), that it is back in IE9.

Problem with MDBootstrap (jQuery) dropdowns in Chrome, Firefox

I am creating a small project and for the front end I chose to use Material Design BootStrap (with jQuery), since I like those designs more than the standard BootStrap. Until now everything had worked correctly, but I noticed a strange behavior with one element: the drop-down lists. When you click on a list, it is displayed, but then there is no way to close it again, that is, to do the show / hide function when there is a selection, or when you click somewhere. It just stays open. The only way to close it is to refresh the page. This happens to me even on the MDBootstrap page. (https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/jquery/navigation/navbar/).
Well, some additional data: So far I had done my tests using the latest version of Chrome. I found it strange that such elementary functionality did not work even on the website of its creators. Then I tried Firefox, the same problem. Today in the morning while working, I decided to open the MDBootstrap page on my work computer, and to my surprise the drop-down lists worked correctly! I also did the test on a MacBook with Chrome, entering the same page and it also worked. I even tried from a virtual machine, and in the Chrome of this VM the drop-down lists worked!
In summary, MDBootstrap drop-down lists do not work, so far, in Chrome or Firefox on my personal computer at home. It occurred to me that it could be the extensions of those browsers that were causing some conflict with that element, but I uninstalled and reinstalled both browsers, and the problem persists. I have tried incognito mode with these browsers and it does not work. I tried Internet Explorer and Vivaldi, and in these if the drop-down lists work. Everything is so confusing!
Well, it's my first query on StackOverflow. If you can think of any other possible solution, or why this problem arises, the suggestions will be well received.

Certain link not opening in Internet Explorer 11

I've created a new html page and all other links are opening fine except the one directing to this page. Clicking the link in Internet Explorer simply does nothing, but if I open the file directly it opens it. No problems in Chrome whatsover.
What's happening here?
<a class="m04" href="cariere.html"><strong>CARIERE</strong></a>
Thanks
EDIT I think the issue is with the page itself, what could make IE refuse to open a page?
EDIT2 OK, here's cariere.html:
`Content removed`
EDIT3 Problem solved, I did a rollback while saving the changes I made and now everything is navigating correctly. Still, very strange even for IE.
You're not getting errors, IE is opening other links, and it works fine in Chrome... First glance, this sounds like an issue with the way that IE cached your website. However, I can't elaborate on further possibilities because you didn't provide us with much information or any code to investigate, so basic troubleshooting is the best answer as of right now. I'll update it again if you provide more information.
Try this:
Tools(gear/cog)->Internet Options
Browsing history (general tab)->Delete
You'll want to check the Temporary Internet Files and website files,
Cookies and website data. Uncheck "Preserve Favorites website data."
Then click 'Delete' at the bottom.
Click the 'Security' tab and at the bottom click 'Default level'
Click the 'Privacy' tab and click 'Default'
Test it. If the above doesn't work, you can always click the 'Advanced' tab and click the 'Reset' button. I've seen IE do stranger things, so hopefully it's as simple as this.
As mentioned, you didn't provide us with much to work with. We're all happy to help you out, so if this doesn't work for you, please come back and post us more information/code so we can get this pinpointed. There are many things, code wise, that can cause undesired results, but we can't confirm that without seeing the code.
This has helped me out with various strange "IE bugs." I can't provide you with an explanation, but I'm sure a search could shine further light on this. It's at least worth trying considering how strange this bug is.
In your <head> put:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
I ran into the problem before, and it's a very weird one: it works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but it's not stable in IE. Sometimes it works, but in most time it just won't work.
The problem is that a label tag is imbedded in the a tag, the link works only in the padding area between label tag and a tag. It can be easily fixed by change the lable tag into span tag.
From:
<label>Learn More</label>
To:
<span>Learn More</span>

Results missing using IE9 with datatables serverside

Ok, this is weird and I'm not sure how to resolve it.
I am the creator of LogZilla (a syslog management/reporting tool).
One of my users has pointed out a bug that only exists in IE9. IE 8 and below has never worked properly so I can live with that. But IE9 should be working. FWIW, I am running IE10 and it works. But if I put it in IE9 mode it doesn't.
If you visit my demo server and do a search (just click the search button at the bottom of the page after logging in), you can see that the data is presented properly using Chrome and FF and IE10, but if you use IE9 it says there is no data to display.
I've also noticed that if you use a GET instead of a POST it works properly. The results page after a search has a small disk icon at the top right - if you click that you can get the full URL to paste as a GET.
I'm wondering if the problem is this which led me to this, but I have tried loading json2.js in the header and it doesn't fix anything (maybe I did it wrong?)
Edit: I also though Modernizr might help, but I have no clue how to implement it, and the download page is insanely confusing - which options do I need?
Edit: Based on #thatidiotguy's comment, I checked my source and it is actually using a GET, not a POST. So now I'm even more confused as to why pasting the url works when clicking the button from the main page doesn't?

"checkedbycsshelper=true"

In building my responsive website I have come across a bug that appears only in IE8, and I cannot figure out why. I use a cross browser testing service (as I build on a Mac) and on my portfolio page - http://www.weblinedesign.com.au/portfolio in firebug, I notice on nearly every line, there is added code "checkedbycsshelper=true". It's preventing my images from loading as the tags wrapping the image tags have been disabled - assumed by this line of code.
It doesn't happen in any other browser, only IE8 and all my attempts at searching Google have come up null. There are literally no references anywhere in Google to "checkedbycsshelper".
It's being added by this script:
http://www.weblinedesign.com.au/wp-content/themes/wd/js/css3-mediaqueries.js
I'm not sure why, but I'd check around for newer versions of that script, and/or other reports of issues with that script on IE8.
A bug report has been opened on the developer's Google Code repo, but not yet resolved.

Problem images firefox

I have a big problem with my web site (you can see here), several user can't see images with firefox. I use too firefox but I don't have this problem.
These users use firefox 3.5.2 with windows XP or VISTA. I have no idea to find the problem.
Have you any idea ?
Thanks a lot.
Perhaps the user has accidentally blocked images from your domain.
In Firefox:
Tools > Options > Content tab > Load images automatically should be checked > click Exceptions... make sure the Site list does not include mowen-world.com. If it is there, highlight it and click Remove Site.
I've had similar issues a few weeks ago. The reason was that the JPG images were somehow corrupted. Some browsers/OS combinations showed them without problems, but on others they didn't show.
I fixed it by opening every JPG image and saving them again in a good image editor (like Photoshop or Fireworks)
Whenever I get a problem like this, I start from basics... like "is the HTML valid".
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmorwen-world.com%2F
There are some issues listed here that could cause odd behaviour.
When I look at the site, I can see all the images fine and the website looks reasonably well laid out (Firefox 3.0.14 Windows XP AND Internet Explorer 8 Windows XP).
I can't see an issue using Firefox 3.5.3 on Windows Vista, just FYI.
Personally whenever I have issues with assets not loading or markup/CSS behaving weirdly, my first stop is Firebug. The Net panel shows the requests for any images and their respective responses. Certainly a good place to start looking.
