What browser does Outlook web use for addins on mac? - outlook-web-addins

Does anyone know which browser Outlook-web uses for addins on a mac?
background: I am developing an addin for outlook web on a mac and I'm making use of a bootstrap collapsable panel. I also have two icons that I want to have to the left and right of the title, however, the anchor tag used to expand / collapse the panel is forcing a line break. I am wondering if this issue is something in my css or a browser issue since setting display: inline on the anchor tag does nothing.

According to MS documentation Webkit rendering engine is used, which is nothing but the Safari browser (with limited functionality) is used.

According to Microsoft
Any browser that supports ECMAScript 5.1, HTML5, and CSS3, such as
Internet Explorer 11 or later, or the latest version of Microsoft
Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari (Mac OS).

Shared runtime Excel add in no longer uses IE11 - Bug or feature?

My Excel add in with custom functions using a shared runtime was happily chugging along with the IE11 webview, until about a week ago when it stopped working because it started running only on the Edgium webview.
I think the documentation still says the expected webview is IE11 in the shared runtimes page, but the webviews page could be interpreted as saying it's the edge2 webview.
Did anybody else see the same effect? I mean, that's great if it works (My add in has other problems now, and I can't fully test), I just didn't expect it.
It is a feature. See this note from the article Browsers used by Office Add-ins
If your add-in includes the <Runtimes> element in the manifest, then it will not use Microsoft Edge with the original WebView (EdgeHTML). If the conditions for using Microsoft Edge with WebView2 (Chromium-based) are met, then the add-in uses that browser. Otherwise, it uses Internet Explorer 11 regardless of the Windows or Microsoft 365 version. For more information, see Runtimes.

Embed Google Chrome or Firefox in Excel Sheet

It is possible to embed the 'Internet Explorer Web Browser' in an Excel Sheet using the Microsoft Web Browser Object. How does one Embed Google Chrome or Firefox in an Excel Sheet?
There is a project to provide a Mozilla ActiveX control matching the IE Web Browser Control Interface as much as possible. I am not following the progress but its supported version seems dated.
As for Chrome you could check out Chromium Embedded but it doesn't seem to support ActiveX so you would have to work something out using the .NET binding (CefSharp) in combination with VSTO and WinForms.
I have used CefSharp with WinForms application and it works quite well.
The samples are good for a quick start.

CRM 2011 (rollup 12) shows the mobile view instead of the normal view in non IE browsers

I recently went to do a demo of some a CRM solution I had been developing but when I tried displaying it on my MAC in firefox and chrome it comes up with the mobile interface. The instance will never be used on mobile devices so I want to disable this functionality for the whole site...How do I do this?
I had the same issue when I opened crm on firefox (on explorer and chrome it was ok), I assume you are using roll up 12 since only from this rollup you have other browsers besides internet explorer integration.
The issue with me was that for some reason, it opened the "default.aspx" page, which opened this url:
https://mydomain:444/m/default.aspx
When the correct address should be:
https://mydomain:444/main.aspx#
I'm also guessing that you have set up ADFS..
I had the same problem and what helped for me was to add the site to the Compatibility View in Internet Explorer.
If you're using IE 11, try compatibility mode. Settings -> Compatibility View Settings

Opening app from different android Browser

Till now I have been using the default browser with my Samsung Galaxy S2. When Browsing if I found and clicked on a link that was from Wikipedia or IMDB for instance it would ask and give the choice if I wanted to open them in the "Internet" Browser or the installed IMDB/Wikipedia App. I have since tried other Browser Apps. (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera etc) and none of these appear to pop up with the option to open them in an app. They go straight to the website. The only app I have found that does offer the choice is Chrome, but it seems to crash a bit too often. Am just wondering if I am missing something in the the other browsers I have looked at. I like Dolphin and Firefox, but would like to see them offer the option to open sites in installed apps. Is there options to get them to do this? Thanks!
It is because those browsers (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera) you have tested at the end of 2012 don't support or have problems with calling external intents.
Here is the issue about implementation that feature on Firefox.

How to test my application on older version of IE?

I have installed IE8 on my system. I usually test my application on this browser, but the problem arises when i got to know that the client is using IE7. Now how can i test my application on IE7?
One possible solution is to have dual booting on my system. So on version of Windows i can have IE7 and on another i can have IE8. But i really don't want to use this solution.
Another possible solution is to use PC Emulator [ Don't know what is this, just heard about these ]. Using which i can have multiple IE version simultaneously. Have you ever tried this solution? Please name any good FREE emulator.
Please let me know if there is any other better solution.
you can use
http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
and here can you see all browser versions as picture
http://browsershots.org/
I got the solution. :)
In IE8, click on Tools > Developer Tools | or press F12
Then in developer Tools > select the browser mode [ available: IE7, IE8, IE8 with compatibility view ]
This is what i was expecting. :)
Microsoft provides a free set of Windows Virtual PC images for testing various versions of IE on various Windows service packs.
Virtual PC is also free.
Have you ever seen Microsoft Expression Web tool? It contains kick-ass tool for testing pages in various versions of IE - SuperPreview. And this tool also available free, you can download it here.
It's much more easy to use it instead of Virtual PC images. But it can't replace VPC completely because testing in clear environment is also very important.
This is a quick and easy web service solution, good for quick testing.
