• Any support for IE9?

    By Steve Cochrane 1 decade ago

    I know that most people have given up on IE, until IE10 comes out, but using the Bootstrap theme, the application menu doesn't work, neither does the Select2 and other items. I can understand not bothering with IE8, but do you foresee any support for IE9?

    • well,...

      IE is not on my own radar, but I understand that it is important for some people.

      Can you help fixing the code for IE? If so, I'll be happy to get the fixes into the project.

        Merci! We have IE9 as a “standard” here at work, but honestly, most people download Firefox and/or Chrome. In recent XPages applications, when I check the stats in the web logs, I see more people access our applications using Chrome, Firefox, iPad, iPhone, Safari, and then IE. (Only once did I see Opera).

        Once I finish this big prototype I'm doing, I'll see if I can get it all working in IE9 (ignoring IE8). If I do, I'll let you know soon, and I'll be sure to share the code with you, so you can add it for others.

          Great, thanks a lot Steve!
          Let me know when you're ready. Depending on the extend of your contribution, you might just copy/paste them in an OpenNTF forum (covered by the Apache license), or we should add you to the list of contributor and then you can deliver to GitHub. And contribute more going forward :-)

            Bonjour!

            Actually, I finally resolved this and pretty easily, actually. In IE9 or IE10, for whatever reason, when the application's doctype is set for html5, the IE "document mode" is set to either IE7 or IE5 Quirks. Very odd. Hitting F12 and changing the document mode makes it work in IE9+. In the theme, you can add the following meta tag, which will force the document mode to the highest level:
             X-UA-Compatible IE=Edge Since this is in the theme, you can just add it to the documentation, if you feel it's appropriate, or add it the theme if there's a Bootstrap4XPages downloaded nsf. Take care! P.S. You should add this to OpenNTF, also, since opening the site in IE10 the document mode defaults to IE7.
