WMX Javascript Viewer and Compatibility Issues

FraserHand

Hi There,
Has anyone had any issues with the wmx javascript viewer and running it in IE 8 compatibility mode? We are on a site where the majority of clients are XP with IE 8. Browser settings are applied by group policy and users cannot change any of their IE settings. One of these settings is to run IE in compatibility mode. When running the js viewer in IE 8 compatibility mode, multiple js errors are thrown and the wmx data nor maps load. The errors are:

Administration users can change to normal mode, and the site loads and appears to run, but still throws js errors:

We have an admin user which has IE 9 - and the results are even worse. IE 9 in compatibility mode produces the same errors:


[ATTACH=CONFIG]17394[/ATTACH]


while in normal mode we get strange artefacts on the map:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]17392[/ATTACH]





Running in IE 8 mode produces the same as an IE 8 client (of course).


[ATTACH=CONFIG]17393[/ATTACH]



We would like to get the JS viewer working to make life easier for deployment to mobile clients.

Help!

Thanks,
Fraser

An updated JavaScript viewer will be available as part of the WMX 10.1 SP1 release that will be compatible with IE7 and earlier versions of IE, and works with IE8 and IE9 in compatibility view.

The WMX 10.1 JavaScript viewer doesn't seem to be compatible with IE7 or earlier versions, or with compatibility view in IE8 or IE9.  Looks like a fix will have to be applied to the viewer.
