I am attempting to get a webpage to load a drop down menu from a an AJAX call, and it works in all other browsers, including IE11, but it doesn't load in IE9. We have looked in the Developer Tools and it appears to receive that data from the request just the same as any other browser, but it will not load our drop down menu. We currently have the following line to help correct our compatibility with IE11:

 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">

Any suggestions?

Hi Chad,

Welcome to Focal Point!

I see that you've opened a case for this issue. Please keep us updated on the outcome.

Thanks and regards,

Here is what I have come up with for a fix.

I have figured out this issue. We had an IBI representative in last week and
this week, Jon Johnson. He suggested that I
make the selects using a JSON or XML input and build my select in a dynamic
function. I took his advice and output my
results in a JSON format. This allowed me to parse the data out myself and build
dynamic selects to work for IE9, IE11,
and Chrome. Here is a the code I used to output, and the code I used to
interpret it in my Javascript.

FEX CODE:

 
 APP PATH diedm diedm_etl lookup
 -RUN
 
 DEFINE FILE DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP
 BRANCH_CODE_COMBINED/A4V=DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP.BRANCH_CODE;
 BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED/A40V=BRANCH_NAME_REPORTING;
 END
 
 TABLE FILE DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP
 BY  BRANCH_CODE_COMBINED
 BY  BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED
 WHERE ( DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP.BRANCH_DETAIL_EXISTS_INDICATOR EQ 'Y' ) AND (
 DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP.BRANCH_CODE EQ ' 2' OR ' L' OR ' X' );
 ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
 ON TABLE NOTOTAL
 ON TABLE HOLD AS COMBINEDBRANCHES FORMAT ALPHA
 END
 -RUN
 
 -*-------------------- create Companywide List Option
 ----------------------------------------
 DEFINE FILE DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP
 BRANCH_CODE_COMBINED/A4V='4 ';
 
 BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED/A40V='Companywide';
 END
 TABLE FILE DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP
 BY  BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED
 BY  BRANCH_CODE_COMBINED
 WHERE ( DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP.BRANCH_CODE EQ ' B');
 ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
 ON TABLE NOTOTAL
 ON TABLE HOLD AS COMPANYWIDE FORMAT ALPHA
 END
 -RUN
 
 -*-------------------- create individual Branches List
 --------------------------------------
 DEFINE FILE DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP
 BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED/A40V=BRANCH_NAME_REPORTING_DETAIL;
 END
 TABLE FILE DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP
 PRINT
 COMPUTE BRANCH_CODE_COMBINED/A4V = IF
 DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP.BRANCH_CODE_REPORTING_DETAIL_PARAMETER IS MISSING THEN
 DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP.BRANCH_CODE ELSE
 DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP.BRANCH_CODE_REPORTING_DETAIL_PARAMETER;
 BY  BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED
 WHERE ( DIEDM_DIM_BRANCH_REP.BRANCH_CODE NE '-1' );
 ON TABLE HOLD AS INDIVIDUALBRANCHES FORMAT ALPHA
 END
 -RUN
 
 TABLE FILE INDIVIDUALBRANCHES
 BY  BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED
 BY  BRANCH_CODE_COMBINED
 WHERE (BRANCH_CODE_COMBINED NE ' X X')
 WHERE (BRANCH_CODE_COMBINED NE ' X F')
 ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
 ON TABLE NOTOTAL
 ON TABLE HOLD AS INDIVIDUALBRANCHES FORMAT ALPHA
 END
 -*----------------------------------------- Combine both hold files
 (COMBINEDBRANCHES and INDIVIDUALBRANCHES) ---------------
 SET PAGE = NOLEAD
 TABLE FILE COMBINEDBRANCHES
 BY COMBINEDBRANCHES.BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED NOPRINT
 BY COMBINEDBRANCHES.BRANCH_CODE_COMBINED

 END  

JAVASCRIPT TO READ INTO SELECT:

  
 //----------------------------------------------------------Load Branch List
 from IBI-------------------------------------------------------------------
 function getBranchList() {
 var _url = ajaxURL;
 
 var _ibiapp = "diedm/ajax/";
 var _procedure = "branch_list_NoVFC.fex";
 $.ajax({
 type: "GET",
 url: _url + _ibiapp + _procedure,
 dataType: "JSON",
 success: function (output) {
 var test = output.records;
 for (key in test) {
 if (test[key].BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED == 'Companywide') {
 $("#BRANCH_CODE").append("<option value='_FOC_NULL'>" +
 test[key].BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED + "</option>");
 }
 else {
 $("#BRANCH_CODE").append("<option value=' " + test[key].BRANCH_CODE_COMBINED +
 "'>" +
 test[key].BRANCH_NAME_COMBINED + "</option>");
 }
 }
 $("#BRANCH_CODE").val(BRANCH_CODE);
 }
 });
