Firefox refresh button not working - refresh

Anyone else ever have the Firefox toolbar "refresh" button not work for a particular page? Works everywhere else. Firefox 3.6.15. Any clues?
EDIT: For what it's worth, I later set network.http.use-cache false, and the problem went away. No idea whether that was much more than coincidence, though.

There is not a lot of detail to go on in your question, but what will often happen is that firefox will cache certain elements of the page and not actually re-fetch them from the server. Try using the TamperData Add-On for firefox to see exactly what data is being transferred from the web server.
You can also just try a Ctrl-F5 to do a force page reload.

While I can't say that I have had that problem, most "weird" behaviors I've run into were due to extensions. You might try disabling some of the more intrusive ones. Greasemonkey perhaps?

Redirected you too many times

I have a link on the site I'm working on that is giving me issues in chrome. In firefox and ie (I will never say this again) is working as it should, but chrome is showing me this message.
And it's not quite making sense. There is only one redirect going on after you click on the site. Is there anyway to fix this in Chrome? I have cleared my history/cookies/cache.
I will provide as much info as I can, but at this moment I'm not sure what to include to help.

Django app or middleware for modern brower detection

I've created a Django site that uses Bootstrap from Twitter. I've tested the site on the latest versions of Chrome, FireFox and Safari. It looks really nice. And then we have Internet Explorer (play failure music... wonk, wonk, woooonk). It seems to work ok, but it doesn't look near as nice (e.g. no rounded corners, etc). What I would like is to detect IE and then redirect them to a page that tells them that IE users may experience issues and that it is strongly recommended to use a more-compliant browser. But, unfortunately, I can't force them to not use IE. So, I need to add a flag saying that they've been show the page. Does anyone know of an app/middleware for doing something like this? I've done some googling, but really haven't found anything.
I don't think it would be terribly hard to write, but I would rather not re-invent the wheel.
Version information: Django 1.3.1; Bootstrap 2.0.2 and jQuery 1.7.2
If there's nothing at http://djangosnippets.org that does this (and I doubt there is, TBH), write it - because like you say, it's not hard - and contribute it

ColdFusion occasionally returns just a hash symbol (#)

We have one page that for just one user is occasionally returning nothing but a hash symbol (#). This page works perfectly fine for other users all of the time, and perfectly fine for this user much of the time. We cannot reproduce the problem internally. Unfortunately, this problem is sporadic and occurs within a modal dialog, so we cannot really test outside the modal dialog and we cannot get the html source when it does occur.
I recall running into a similar problem once before. Some random page was returning just a pound sign. Being able to see what was actually going on since it wasn't in a modal dialog, and having it occur in a dev environment, I resolved it pretty quickly then. But it was a while ago and I can't recall any details of the incident. Has anyone else ever seen CF do this before? Any thoughts on what might cause it?
I would be sure that you are not caching the ajax pages, also there could be an extra hash somewhere like on a color ##ffffff for example and certain browser standards are allowing it while it crashed and shows # in others, I would also check your markup for any extra tags, especially closing ones. I have seen this with dialog before. I would love to see code on this if you have it.

Sitecore Menu Problem

I have a strange error in my Sitecore environment that I've been ignoring since I started development (since it is only a minor inconvenience), and that is the fact that in dealing with large menus near the bottom, they get clipped by the bottom of the browser. Items then should detect the bottom and build upward, I guess, but they just don't. I have gone through the Sitecore Initial Configuration for Internet Explorer document several times.
Has anyone come across this?
Thank you for your time.
Try adding the Sitecore site to your Local Intranet zone in IE, if it's not already.
(btw this is probably a better question for SuperUser, though doubt many sitecore folk monitor that stackexchange)
Please check on start up window of sitecore that Sitecore support this browser or not.

Weird issue with cftextarea/cfwindow

A while ago, I worked on an application where a manager can approve/deny xxx applications. When some body selects an action from a drop down, it opens a cfwindow and loads cftextarea richtext="yes" in there, so that they could enter reasons for approval/denial.
Now the culprit is that in production, the fckEditor has a ton of funky chars in IE8. Same thing won't happen in FireFox. Also, the IE8 does not show the same stuff in dev.
I have looked at the scripts in /cf_admin/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/FCKeditor, they are all the same.
Since this wasn't an issue before, I am not sure where to look at. Something got updated on the server which probably causes this problem. Does anybody know what could be the problem?
It turns out the vp put the header X-UA-Compatible: IE=IE7 in IIS to force IE8 emulate IE7. When I made them change this to X-UA-Compatible: IE=EmulateIE7, everything started to work perfectly again. For more details see Introducing IE=EmulateIE7.
Hope it helps others. Thanks.
