[GeoNetwork-users] Geonetwork 2.8 RC1 and Internet Explorer 7

Hello,

After starting geonetwork, when using IE7 only the header is displayed in
the main page, the body shows the spinner indefinitely. It appears a warning
icon in the status bar of IE and the message when opened is: 'Object doesn't
support this property or method'. It runs properly with Chrome and Firefox.

The geonetwork.log file does not show any error (log4j.cfg all set in
debug).

I've read a solution in the forum provided by José Garcia about adding <meta
http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=IE8" > in the header.xsl file,
however, in GN2.8 RC1 there is already a <meta http-equiv=... > tag.

How can I solve that problem?

Thanks for your help and best regards,
Montse

Hi Montse

In xsl/header.xsl the actual meta tag is:

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

I think IE7 and IE8 are ignoring this meta tag as applies to a higher
version. Probably following line solves the issue (requires restart
GeoNetwork after change):

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7"/>

Please, if you can open a issue in GeoNetwork Trac and will manage later to
check and fix.

Regards,
Jose García

This seems to be the same issue as ticket 996
<http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/ticket/996&gt; ?

There was a potential patch however it was only a partial fix. If what Jose
mentioned fixed the issue, it may be a better patch.

I have added a note to the ticket

Thanks Jose and Ian for your replies,

Jose, I've changed to <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7"/>
and restarted GN, but still happens the same (the spinner shows indefinitely
in the main page).

Ian, when I change '$("loading").hide();' for 'Ext.get("loading").hide();'
the main page loads but still a yellow icon shows in the status bar with the
message 'Object doesn't support this property or method'. Before changing
that line the error line number was 398 and now the error line number is 88.
As you stated in ticket #996, the main page loads but GN does not work. For
example, the 'Search' button does not work (don't do nothing) and clicking
a category also doesn't work.

Please, let me know if ticket #996 is enough to report the problem or if I
should open a new one.

Thanks for all,
Best regards,
Montse

Hi Montse

I did similar tests and same result as you, tested in IE8 gets similar
error. For now, lets manage in issue #996, I'll check for a solution and
will provide a patch asap.

Jose García

Hi Jose,

Thanks for your help.

I also found that the GN widget interface
/http://<server>/geonetwork/apps/tabsearch// does not run with IE 7, neither
in IE8. It loads a blank page with the spinner showing indefinitely and a
yellow icon appears in the status bar. For Firefox/Chome it runs properly.

The yellow icon informs of this error: 'Error: Expected identifier, string
or icon' .

Should I open a new track for that problem?

Thanks and best regards,
Montse

Hi Ian,

I would like to take advantage of this thread to inform you that I have just
created a ticket #1087 for catalan translation, as you suggested me in
ticket #964 (sorry for the delay). In the ticket I attached the new catalan
files to be included/replaced.

I'd appreciate if you can update those files. I'll download the nightly
build as soon as included in order to test it again.

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Montse

Montse,

I apply the change and it should be in tonight’s nightly build.

However I just noticed (and sent a pull request) on a small typo (my fault)
in the ca.js and I expect that this will be fixed in tomorrows nightly
build.

Once you have tested the nightly build and all is OK, you can close the
ticket.
