8.38 Browse problem

[Keith]

Hi

Have just updated to 8.38.  Immediately noted that some of my Browses failed to load the Form after clicking the in-row  'Change' button.  However, double clicking the row loads the Form.

I will experiment some more with why some Browses and not others but thought there may be a quick answer.

update --
This is browser dependent.  Firefox and Chrome work (no change in behaviour) but IE11 doesn't (some Browses fail to load Form on 'Change' but ok on 'Double Click').

I have 'Double Click Select when Selecting' set in WebServer Defaults for Browse.

Thanks

Keith

Keith,

I have the exact same problem with 8.38!!  Today I showed my app on the NetTalk Webinar but ran it in FireFox.  Wish I had run it in IE 11 so Bruce could see the problem.  I hope Bruce fixes this quickly!!  I have really been struggling with NT lately.

Here is a bit more info, when I double click I get the attached error.  To reiterate, this does not happen in FireFox or Chrome.  Only in IE 11.  I have run in compatibility mode and get the same error.

More info, works in IE 9.0 and Safari on an iPAD.  Does not work on IE on a Surface RT tablet which is IE 11.  Have not found a machine with IE 10 yet.  I'm creating a test app to send to Bruce.  Stay Tuned!

More info as of 2/28/2015:  In IE 11 pressing F12 takes one to the Developer Tools.  Here I can set an emulation mode.  Setting to IE 10 still has the same problems.  Setting to emulate IE 9 does run as expected.  I'm investigating the Document Mode, here are some interesting links:

Looking for a way to detect if my users are running IE 11 and then setting the mode accordingly, until a better fix is available.

Thanks,

Jeff

Not sure this is the best solution but for the time being it works.  What I did was place the following code in the WebHandler Process Link (before parent):

If self.UserAgent = 'mozilla'  !any version of IE
    self.MetaHeaders = '<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />'
END

This checks for IE, any version, and if this is the browser being used, will add a meta tag to "emulate" IE 9.  Version 9 of IE is the earliest I tested.  The browse issue I have is found in both version 10 and 11.  See the attached image which shows the source for a page generated after this code was added.

Firefox and Chrome do not require this work around.  I'll continue to use this until Bruce can help to determine where the problem is.

Hi guys,

In 8.39 I have added code to set the user-agent etc when IE11 is used. Unfortunately I've not been able to duplicate the effect you two are getting though. So try with 8.39, if that doesn't help then I guess I need that example Jeff was talking about.

cheers

Just loaded 8.39 and no change to the behaviour of my application.

Attached is an example app (PMTEST) which exhibits the same behaviour as we have reported.
on the login page anything in all three fields will be ok.

Cheers

thanks for the example Keith. Fixed in 8.40 which should be out shortly.

(aside: I've removed some messages in this thread, and combined others, to keep the number of postings down so we don't anger this forum software...)

cheers
