Edit button does not show up in Internet Explorer - telerik-grid

I am using an MVC 3 razor grid with version 2011.2.712.340 of the Telerik extensions.
I have an Edit command button in my html for the grid. The edit button shows up in Chrome & Firefox, but not Internet Explorer with the same exact code base.
Would someone be able to tell me what I need to do in order to get it to display in IE?
Actually, in additon to the Button not showing up, the data for the record is shifted over starting in the Command column....
Also, this only happens in IE9. If i put the browser in IE9 compatability mode or IE8 or IE7, the page renders fine.
What do I need to do for it to render properly using IE9?

It might be related to Hidden Columns in Telerik, have a look at this post for the workaround:

Make Chrome Extension Browser Action Popup bigger than browser window

In FireFox extensions, the Panel/Popup that opens on the Toolbar sizes itself outside the browser window, if needed, so that we see every populated elements in the panel. In Chrome however, the popup/panel is only drawn until the browser window's boundaries. So, if the user resizes the browser window small enough, you don't see the entire popup.
I checked the documentation and couldn't find anything. Is there anything that can be done to show the entire popup?
This seems to be OS-dependent (can be reproduced on Linux and Win7, but not Win10).
As an extension author, there is nothing you can do to control it, this is just how the browser renders its content. You could submit a bug report.

mouseover text appears on all thumbs

When I mouse over a thumbnail in Tumblr Archive, thumb goes dark and text appears over it. But something has changed in my settings and ALL thumbs appear like this. I use Win XP and the latest browser is IE8. I don't get this with Firefox or another PC.
The same thing happened to me when I updated to IE 10. It is a compatibility issue. Go to "tools" and change your "compatibility view" and it will change it back to the normal view (i.e. the thumbnails will show until you mouse over them). Have one of the archive pages open, and change it, it should update automatically. If it doesn't fool around with the settings until it changes. You can change the "compatibility view" for "tumblr" only by changing the compatibility view for that site only.

IE 7.0.5730.13 Problems with JSF Primefaces

I've created an application using Primefaces. It works well on Firefox, Chrome and IE 9.
But there are many issues using the application on IE 7.0.5730.13.
I'll list some problems:
DialogBox opens after clicking twice on a Button and page refresh
DropDownBox is just a gray box, only after clicking on it the list opens, it just don't looks like a standard DropDownBox
Tree table does not look well, some nodes pass over the tree table and just hang there
It looks that Primefaces is not compatible with IE 7.0.5730.13.
I researched a lot, but couldn't find anything on that issue.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
For all those, who still have problems with Dialog Boxes in IE Browsers
remove "modal=true"
set a fix width for your dialog box
set a fix height for your dialog box
For the most part you are correct, PrimeFaces and most any JSF component framework is not compatible with IE7. Furthermore there are a few more advanced JSF components that utilize HTML5 features and may not work correctly in IE8 as well.
On that note, IE7 is an ancient browser and it is ridiculous if your client insists on support for it. If they must use IE7 for some proprietary legacy software then you can always suggest using a proper browser for your software instead, like any supported version of Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
Primefaces is supposed to support IE 7 until version 3.5 (which is not supporting it anymore). If you are using this version just downgrade it to previous one. However, I can't be more agree with #maple_shaft.

OpenLaszlo DHTML InputText issue with clickthrough in Firefox 15

For some reason i am not able to enter any text in inputtext in dhtml environment. The same is working fine in swf10 environment.
When i hover over the input text i observed that the cursor is not changing to selector. It looks as if the onmouseover event of inputtext is not getting fired.
Has anyone come across this kind of issue in openlaszlo dhtml envrironment?
I am using OpenLaszlo 4.9, Windows 7 and the browser is Firefox 15.0
I found a bug report in jira http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-9934.
Please suggest any ideas to overcome this issue/
The problem you are seeing is probably connected to the way OpenLaszlo replicates the behavior of clicking through Sprites or visual elements in the Flash runtime for the DHTML/JavaScript runtime. Until recently browsers didn't support that kind of functionality directly. Therefore the OpenLaszlo team had to use a workaround, which is described in detail in this comment on LPP-5447.
Clickdivs exist to have independent control over clickable sprites,
without interference from regular divs. They are placed in a separate
copy of the regular lzdiv sprite hierarchy so we have more control.
This also provides a place to put focused inputtext divs so they are
in the foreground and clicking/dragging to edit works properly.
The clickdiv functionality seems to be broken from time to time with browser updates or due to regressions. In 2012 some improvements to the DHTML runtime click-through functionality were done, using newer browser features in Firefox (which now allows to click through div elements using the CSS style pointer-events). Since the clickdiv functionality is part of the LFC, fixing that functionality in your application is not advised.
You can test if the inputtext works by tabbing through the components until your inputtext element has the focus and start typing. If the text can be entered as expected, but you cannot click the component with your mouse to select it, it's definitely a clickdiv problem.
Update: Tested with OpenLaszlo 4.9.0 and various browsers
I've tested with OpenLaszlo 4.9.0, DHTML runtime and IE9, Firefox as well as Chrome, using the test case attached to LPP-9934: All browsers show that specific bug behavior. If the bug has not been filed, please file a JIRA bug.

how to click on ext JS drop down menu items using watir

I have the ext js drop down menu as shown in the image.
is there any watir method to click on this button?
its respective HTML code is in the image.
thanks,
Naveen Kandakur
See my answer to How to click a strange link looks like button in watir which appears to the the exact same code, and thus gets the same answer.
for which btw I have code that works on the sample site that appears to be the same control, and is why we constantly ask people if there is a site we can access that has the control on it, because nothing works as well as a real example when you are trying to figure out what makes these custom controls tick.
