Debug/Start Without Debugging gives IE8 opened with the address bar containing about:blank

Cal Who · Nov 25, 2009

I think this is a weid one.

When I do Debug/Start Without Debugging
I get IE8 opened with the address bar containing: about:blank
and the big pane blank.

I close IE that and a new IE opens with the usuall localhost address and a
correct big pane display.

Can you tell me how to avoid that first IE or why I'm getting it?

Thanks

I still have this effect.
Is it true that none of you have seen this happen?

Thanks

Don't have that and never seen this here..

Could it be that you have multiple start pages defined in IE8 ?

The second one really opens when the first one is closed or do they appaear
both if you just let them proceed.

Only happens with:
Debug/Start Without Debugging

If I right click Default.aspx and select
View in Browser
it opens OK.
Browse with and select IE
works OK

I changed a bunch of things in IE (like open pop ups in a tab) but that did
not fix it.

I opened "Developer Tools" and the html was simply:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<body/>

Nothing else.

It's not a serious problem but surprising.

Thanks for replying, it at least tells me it is not something everyone else
knows about.

No. I checked.

I wait a while and it waited until I closed the first one.

This is a bug in IE8 that MS seems to know about. In VS2008, go to File; Browse with... and make Firefox or another browser the default. When you run Start without Debugging, it should work correctly. Does for me.

That is correct - it only happens with IE as the default and I Start Without
Debugging..
If I Browse With and chose IE it woks OK.
Or if I debug and IE is the default it works OK.
I did as you suggest and that fixed it.
Thanks
