[CODE] Modifications to allow IE 10 to submit reports from a launch page

Here on WebFocus 7.6.10, we've found that our launch pages won't submit a report in IE 10.
After some investigation, we've found a couple solutions.

First, as already mentioned elsewhere on the forum, is compatibility mode. This can be set automatically by adding the following line into the page header:

<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=9">
 


For more info, see this page from Microsoft.

But, that's not an ideal solution. I found the root of the problem in ibirls2.js, and we (which is to say that I had help from a programmer who knows javascript better than I do!) modified the code that reads the XML request data, and IE 10 was back in business! We don't have this code in production, nor have I tested all code paths which execute the modified code in different places, but if anyone is interested in the code, just send me a note. It's not too difficult to set a report up to test the modified code.

Thanks,
Rob

There are lots of things that don't work with IE10 - such as setting up a new task in ReportCaster ... grrrrrrr
