WebViewer with Internet Explorer [message #1060589]

Hi everyone,

When we run a webviewer 4.2 report with IE9 or IE10, it appears Internet Explorer is switching to a document-mode IE7 (we can see it with IE development tools). It prevents using native HTML5 features, such number or date input if we customize JSP or add html text within reports.

HTML5 in Webviewer works with all browsers except IE, do someone know why is it happening? Is there a way to avoid Internet Explorer to use this old document mode when it runs under IE9+? May be a JSP to modify, a javascript resource or something like this?

Thanks!

Looking at the page source of the viewer it looks like it's because of this

<META HTTP-EQUIV="X-UA-Compatible" CONTENT="IE=EmulateIE7">

Using something like

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

Should keep it from doing that, there might be a setting in IE to prevent this though I haven't found it.

Thank you Kristopher,

You are right this is what i was looking for. Though by switching to IE=9 it appears there are javascript errors. I was able to fix some of them, but there is still an issue with ajax calls. I will give it a try i think i should be able to make it work at least for the "run" servlet.

Thanks again!

We've run into similar issues with an older version of Birt but in reverse...we have to put code in our struts java class to force IE8 mode so that the javascript errors don't prevent the parameters dialog from popping up. This works around the problem, but at the same time disables desirable CSS3 behavior in IE9 and IE10.

Is there any minimum version of Birt that will natively support IE9 and IE10 without these kludges?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you might have.

Boyd
