IE8 Standards mode not working with orbeon?

Hi all,

I am currently having a bit of a problem: In each of my webpages, I have a tag telling IE8 to render the page with IE8 browser mode and IE8 standards. On the pages where I don’t use Orbeon, the pages render properly in IE8 standards mode and browser mode. You can tell this by going into the developer tools in IE8 and checking the top toolbar for the browser mode and standards modes.

However, all of the pages rendered by orbeon are rendering in IE8 browser mode but with IE7 Standards which is not what I want. In the developer tools, it says that IE7 standards is the page default. The header on all of the pages is the same:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html>

<head>

Has anyone else experienced this? Is Orbeon overriding some setting somewhere? I really need the IE8 standards to work because the IE7 standards make the page look terrible. I also can’t force all users to turn compatibility mode off right now, so that isn’t an option.

Thanks,

Stephanie

Stephanie,

I am confused: even without putting the X-UA-Compatible, my IE seems
to pick the8 IE standards mode out of the box when rendering the
examples, and I don't think I did any particular setup. Do you know
where the difference could come from?

RE: Re: IE8 Standards mode not working with orbeon?

Hi Alex,

On the page you're looking at, please go into tools->compatibility view settings and add the site you're looking at to the list in that compatibility view pane. Basically the second checkbox at the bottom in that pane is set by default since our site is an intranet site, and thus it displays in compatibility view (so with IE7 standards). I'd love to disable it on everyone's IE here, but I doubt that would fly.

This X-UA-Compatible tag is supposed to override that compatibility view setting, and in my non-orbeon pages it does, but in the orbeon pages, I still get IE8 browser mode and IE7 standards.

Thanks,
Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,

OK, I see. The issue is that the meta tag should come earlier inside
the head to be taken into account by IE. I changed theme-examples.xsl
and theme-plain.xsl to do this. If you are using one of those, you'll
be fine, otherwise you can do the same change in your own theme. See:

http://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/commit/3656a675512d64d42bc355ec3838ff0348a5b984

And for reference, the bug is:

http://forge.ow2.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=314745&group_id=168&atid=350207

You'll let me know if this works for you.

Alex
