How to launch project in IE (keeps coming up in firefox)
-
Hello, I have firefox installed and I usually use it as my primary browser. However, I want to test my web application in IE. When I run the application it comes up in Firefox. If I open IE and browse to the default.aspx file and try to open it, IE refuses to open it (no error message or anything. IE just minimizes. When I bring it back up, it's still showing the page it was showing before I tried to open my default.aspx page). I'm new to web development. Help on this will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

OK, so I'm an idiot. Obviously I can't open an aspx file directly as the server has to "serve" it up. So I go ahead and start the project in Firefox, then paste the url into IE, thereby requesting the page from IIS (does that sound right? Please correct me if I'm being a moron here!) Still, how do hit F5 and launch the project in IE instead of Firefox? Thanks!

Self-realization is a wonderful thing. Acknowledging that you have a problem is the first step towards fixing it. You have to start IE and browse to the page - the URL is necessary so that it can load the appropriate css/js/php script files. My advice is once you type in the url and successfully get the page to display in IE, bookmark it so you don't have to type it in again. (I only say this because you are a self-proclaimed idiot and I can't safely assume that you'd think of bookmarking it.) :)
