internet exploder not working in 4.1p

[mathias]

Tried using various nightly builds, doesn't work in any of them.

Internet explorer works in our production release, using 3.1p

After upgrading, we now notice that our app doesn't load in any internet explorer. Works in all other browsers.

We get the error message "Can't load datasources - smartclient runtime not loaded".


Not sure how to proceed. agent settings, which haven't changed for a long time:

<set-property name="user.agent" value="gecko1_8,ie8,ie9,ie10,safari"/>

Pointers much appreciated. I'm sure i missed something obvious.

Found this thread:

and by changing

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9">

to

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

we got it to work with 4.1p

I do wonder why we had to do it though.

Possible UA's are listed here:

https://gwt.googlesource.com/gwt/+/m...rAgent.gwt.xml. As it seems you have all of them. So why don't you leave this out. IMO GWT generates all possible permutations then.

Regarding your error: Please include at least the IE versions ("any" might not be enough) you are using.

To me it sounds like a different root clause, but I don't know that for sure. Do all the JS files load as expected in your IEs (=HTTP 200)?

Crossposting...did you already see http://forums.smartclient.com/showth...hp?t=8159#aIE8? You should be using the HTML5 doctype now in general.

Hey Blama,

many thanks for chiming in!

It didn't work in 9, 10 nor 11.


I do know about the HTML5 doctype, yes. However, we are not using it, yet, because if we set it, all our google map widgets in our application disappears! Weird, huh?

Not sure why that is, but until we have time to investigate, we'll have to keep it as it is, unfortunately.
