[possibly solved] Is WebFOCUS BI Dashboard v5.3.2 compatible with IE7?

I don't imagine IBI has certified the horrendous IE7 for WebFOCUS BI Dashboard v5.3.2.

I'm wondering if anyone is regularly using IE7 and BID 5.3.2. I have IE6 on my PC and I do not get the problem that users with IE7 are getting - A JavaScript error triggered right after login (something about an error on line 22). The tabs load successfully, but the error causes other JavaScript errors on some of the tabs that open new windows.

what i found using ie7 at home was that as default it comes quite locked down in terms of what you can do- i remember it took me ages fiddling about with a number of different settings just so it would loads pages in my favourites or run very basic javascript commands

i found the whole expoerienec very frustrating so now use (the less than stellar) firefox

Francis,

There is a patch for IE7 and BID, not sure to what release it refers though but check it out on the Tech Support site. I remember applying it about 2½ years ago at a previous client.

There are 2 versions of the hotfix available

52x IE 70 Hotfix
53x IE 70 Hotfix

I'm not sure if they are available for customer download
but support could e-mail it to you, it's only 14.7k

Installation instructions.

1) Backup the following files:

\ibi\WebFOCUS53\ibi_html\javaassist\worp\js\worp_tree.js
\ibi\WebFOCUS53\ibi_html\javaassist\worp\js\menu\worp_menu.js
\ibi\WebFOCUS53\ibi_html\javaassist\worp\js\util\worp_runtime.js

For example, rename all of them with a .orig extension



2) Place 53xIE7.jar file in the directory of:

\ibi\WebFOCUS53


3) Make sure the jar command is in your path (or explicitly reference the command)
unjar the 53xIE7.jar file

jar -xvf 53xIE7.jar
