[CLOSED] Late to the IE8 conversation
WebFOCUS 7.1.4 (Yes I know I need to upgrade...It is on our project list for 2011).

We just switched to IE8 and Dashboard is not allowing the domains to populate their report options...Is this common and is there a workaround?

Incidentally, it appears this could be resolved with some simple javascript code, but I'm wondering if anyone has tested this out before?

IE8 is not supported until 7.6.10. I don't think you can wait until 2011 to upgrade WebFOCUS. Either that or back off IE8.

We have been testing IE8 and have not found any problems yet...
I've read some of the post on the subject, but is there a list of problems we should know about?
Managment is not into a WebFocus upgrade.

If you let IE8 security default you may have lot's of problems.

Especially if you also go Windows 7.
In HTML layout painter, the onclick button doesn't link to fex or url.

Yes we are going Windows 7. I would love a good reason to Upgrade. Can you give me some examples of the problems...

Thanks Hua for that one.

We are running WebFOCUS version 7.6.6. We found that Advanced Graph Assistant did not work under IE8.

A developer in another area of our company said there is an IE7 compatibility mode setting in IE8. You could try that.
