MathematicalRob[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

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