It is my understanding that IE8 has been certified, is it going to work with 5.3?This message has been edited. Last edited by: PBrightwell, Pat WF 7.6.8, AIX, AS400, NT AS400 FOCUS, AIX FOCUS, Oracle, DB2, JDE, Lotus Notes | ||

don't know about 5.3 but don't bother to upgrade it's only improvement is to allow you a 1=click open all links in a links folder, ala firefox. ok that's nice but what it also does is ALWAYS open a 2nd tab that is SEARCH, ala Google. Ok it has a nice image of some owls. but i don't want that second tab open. Mama don't take my GoogleChrome awa-a-a-a-ay.

The problem I am encountering is that I have a set of users who are getting CGI errors on one report. At least one had upgraded to IE8 (and tried to back it off). When I searched I found that IE8 had not yet been certified and was known to cause this problem. It has been certified now, but my user(s) are still getting the error. I spoke with the manager after I posted this and he claims some of these users are still on IE7. I have IE7 and I can't recreate the error leading me to believe tha culprit is IE8.

Pat, it is my understanding that when some piece of software is "certified", it is certified to work with a particular version of WebFOCUS software. I don't think they'd bother to certify IE8 to work with WF5.3 and that release is on its way out... Francis  Give me code, or give me retirement. In FOCUS since 1991 Production: WF 7.7.05M, Dev Studio, BID, MRE, WebSphere, DB2 / Test: WF 8.1.05M, App Studio, BI Portal, Report Caster, jQuery, HighCharts, Apache Tomcat, MS SQL Server | |||

Francis is correct it is very unlikely that IE8 is certified for 5.3.x They did bring out a hotfix for IE7 support. But as of Jan 2009 the below link is the official support. Web Browser Support for WebFOCUS The current Functional Stabilization date for 5.3.x December 2009 | ||

Thanks all, It doesn't suprize me. We are going to 7.6+ and will start conversion next month. But it doesn't help the users who clicked one of those little links to update their IE browser and now can't restore IE7.

Bad company policy. Users should not be allowed to apply updates. They should be rolled out as certified by corporate support. | ||

We have a policy against unauthorized software. However, some users are administrators on their computer, so stopping it is another issue. Pat WF 7.6.8, AIX, AS400, NT AS400 FOCUS, AIX FOCUS, Oracle, DB2, JDE, Lotus Notes | |||

JG, Your link for the official web browseer support document shows that for releases 5.3.x IE 5.5 OR HIGHER is supported. For release 7.6.x it also specifies which browser versions are Certified. It might be wise to have the page updated to say which version are certified for a certain release level. GamP

PBrightwell, Have you tried using IE8's Compatibility View Mode? My WebFOCUS stuff seems to work in IE8 but some other sites did not behave so well. I got tired of setting the Compatibility View on so many sites and just enabled it for all sites. Maybe this will solve the error your users are getting. Here is a MS support article... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968499 Dan 7.7.05M/7.7.03 HF6 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 output to whatever is required. | |||

Thank you for your excellent suggestion and I have passed it on to our help desk. Unfortunately, the user that was originally having the problem has already had his compute re-imaged. Pat WF 7.6.8, AIX, AS400, NT AS400 FOCUS, AIX FOCUS, Oracle, DB2, JDE, Lotus Notes | |||

OK, I recant my earlier statement. It turns out that IE8 messes up some DevSudio functions and also causes strange script behavior in the dashboard. I went back to IE7 and a lot of the issues I was experiencing have cleared up. Here is a link to another post regarding this... Auto-Launch Standalone Domain Tree 7.7.05M/7.7.03 HF6 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 output to whatever is required. | |||

Also found that IE8 does not correctly generate some scripts when using the composer. only solution was to revert back to 7. | ||
