Dev Studio develped HTML under ie11 HEIGHT being over written

August 03, 2015, 03:31 PM

Reopening this post as I have some more info that someone might be able to respond to.

This is what's happening:
"We've seen some frequent display changes on HTML pages developed in Developer Studio and run under IE11. The iframe HEIGHT is being changed from 350px to 30px. Always 30px! Is anyone seeing this? Anyone aware of any IBI supplied java script that might affect this? We are not seeing this in ie10.

Here's what I've discovered in a simple HTML page calling a graph from the CAR table.
If the Sizing and Scrolling property of the iframe is set to no (scrolling = no) we have the issue very repeatable. If the Sizing and Scrolling property is not touched it defaults to AUTO, and we do not have the issue, but we may have a flash of a vertical scroll bar, but typically the iframe is tall enough and it's not remaining.

Any thoughts on why scrolling=no would cause a change in pixel define iframe height?

Thanks for any response.

We're using IE11 with iFrames and not seeing this issue.

Doug,
Are you using multiple iframe per page? And webofucs 7.7.xx? Or 8.x and not issues?

Tom,
Hot and wet as ever down here. Thanks I've seen this. I know that our release isn't 'certified' But I've found no one else having the issues as of yet.

Hi Laure,
Try this in 1 of them and see if it works.

  
<head>
  <!-- Use Internet Explorer 10 Standards mode -->
  <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=10">
</head>

Tom, Thanks again. I thought of that and tried it, but it made no change. It's really odd that this works fine in IE10. Thru the IE11 debugger I can see that the height is changing, just don't know why or how.

I think Tom's example should read "IE=11". The idea is that this prevents IE from entering 'Compatibility mode', but it can do that for all kinds of reasons (for example if it sees that you're on an Intranet, pretty much the standard for most of us I suspect).

Easiest way to test is to press F12 with the report open and check whether it's set to Compatibility mode or not. If it is, change it to Standards mode, reload the page and see if it behaves correctly now.

If that doesn't help, then we're on the wrong track.

Laure:

I had massive problems - specifically with iframes - developing launch pages with WF 7705, Win 8.1 and IE11. When I contacted IBI they told me that IE11 is not supported, nor will it be for WF 7xxx until they manage to get it working for 8xxx. By that time, backward compatibility may become moot, because my bet is that they are scrambling right now to get things compatible with the latest M$ browser.

Why they don't switch the focus to Chrome (and for that matter to ODF compliant output) is beyond me.
