Because I know I will still need to develop for the IE6 browser for a number of years to come (damn) I have been reluctant to switch to the latest release of IE7 on my workstation. But, with the advent of a seperate workstation at my office where my team can develop against multiple OSs, browsers and versions of those browsers, I’ve gone ahead and installed IE7 RC1.
I have been very happy with all the improvements in the new IE7 browser and I think it was in Microsoft’s best interest to make this move towards web standardization and recomendations of the W3C, but since then I have experienced issues in Dreamweaver 8. Specifically, it has been the loss of a select number of Usernames and Passwords saved in my Dreamweaver 8 website projects (each time I restart the software). This may be purely coincidental, so I posted a question to the Microsoft Internet Explorer Weblog to find out.
I’ll keep you posted if/when I hear something back.
I’ve had the same problem with Dreamweaver 8 for a few days now but I didnt relate that to IE7 RC1, but you might be correct. I’ve had the betas installed for a few months and as I installed RC1 lately this might be the problem, I dont know.. I dont doubt it
I upgraded as well a few weeks back to IE7 RC1, this has been the only change I have made to my computer here at the office. Since I installed the IE7 RC1, I as well have lost my username and passwords in DW8. I believe that IE7 is the most likley the cause of this or we need to get rid of these office gnomes.
Leave it to IE to mess up things, now its evil is expanding to other programs! This is bad news. I don’t want IE wasting MORE of my time by erasing all of my FTP accounts. It already wastes a lot of my time because it doesn’t want to listen to simple CSS rules that are W3C standard. Microsoft, I have stuck it out with you for the long haul because I so dislike the “Look at me, I’m a Mac, I’m so cool” fad. Please don’t make me become what I hate. It’s sink or swim time, what’s it going to be? Thanks for pointing this quirk out! An answer to your question: Big bullies never play nice. I think I’ll stick with my FireFox (and IE6 when I have to).
We talked with Adobe and turns out this is a bug they fixed in their
8.0.2 update.
Its a problem on a MAC as well WITHOUT IE7. And MACs are soooo forgiving. Not in this case.
As of today this was still an issue with the Gold release.
Good thing I exported all my sites last week when I got a new PC
