Internet Explorer 9 support?

DavidMills

Hi,

Does the ArcGIS API for javascript support Internet Explorer 9? I working with version 2.2 of the API, and I'm trying to load a map, center it on a particular extent, and show a shape overlay.

I'm having some trouble getting the map to display correctly in IE9. Attached is the test case I'm using, plus screenshots of the result in IE9 vs all other browsers. Can anyone shed some light on the issue?

Thanks,
Dave

Version 2.3 was released yesterday making support for IE9 official: http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/arcgisserver/archive/2011/05/16/ArcGIS-API-for-JavaScript-Version-2.3-released_2E00_.aspx

Great news!! Good timing for my bump 🙂

I would be cautious of using the pre-release version of 2.3 in a production environment. Instead, you may provide a hint to Internet Explorer so it chooses IE8 rendering mode by adding this meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
Of course, your designers might not be happy about the latter option 😉

Thanks Dave - just tried this and it worked, and yes the designers are not happy 🙂

Wonder how long before this is resolved..

ArcGIS Server Manager SP1 will only display for me properly using "Compatibility Mode" in IE9.

Hi Marten,

My test case uses a SimpleLineSymbol and SimpleFillSymbol in conjuction with a Graphic; so yes, I'm having trouble getting symbols to display. The underlying issue appears to be with the rendering of GraphicsLayer, so I suspect you'll see a problem in IE9 with any code that utilizes a GraphicsLayer.

The IE9 examples found in the blog post that Kelly mentioned do indeed draw upon a newer, as-yet-unreleased version of the API:

<!--Early preview of version 2.3 - feel free to try this out for testing purposes only-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://orthogonal.esri.com/jsapi/arcgis/?v=2.3">

I would be cautious of using the pre-release version of 2.3 in a production environment. Instead, you may provide a hint to Internet Explorer so it chooses IE8 rendering mode by adding this meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

Of course, your designers might not be happy about the latter option 😉

Regards,
Dave

Thanks for the information, Kelly. It's unfortunate that IE9 support isn't planned before May, but I'm glad it's on the horizon.

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,

Are you also having issues showing a symbol on the map in IE9?

I am also experiencing the same boxes in the upper left corner. What's strange (unless ESRI is using an internal version of the library) is that the samplese are working fine in IE 9 for me.

Thanks

We released a blog post today discussing the status of IE9 support, click here for details.

DavidMills

Wow, that's really disappointing, if true. IE9 has been a long time in coming, with plenty of opportunity to test betas, release candidates, and, now, the release version of the browser. Why wouldn't support be available already?

A lack of support for the current release version of Internet Explorer is a serious problem for us, since it's required by many of our large, institutional clients.

I'd love to hear the official word from an ESRI employee. Is IE9 officially not supported? If not, when is a release planned that will support it?

I would say IE9 isn't supported yet...it's not listed here: http://resources.arcgis.com/content/webapis/2.0/system-requirements

Also, v2.2 of the JS API is built on dojo 1.5 which does not list IE9 as a supported browser: http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/releasenotes/1.5.html

You'll probably have to wait until 2.3 comes out for IE9 support.

DavidMills

You're looking at the results of a completely bare-bones test case. Look at the code that I attached to my original post. It has only a two elements in the body, a div for the map container, and the <script> that loads the map.

I can't pare it down to a more basic example than this.

There have been issues in the past with how IE handles the z positioning of elements.

I'm not familiar with IE9 yet to say if that's what it is, but it looks like you have some sort of placeholder elements that are being displayed on top of the map. That would be the first thing I'd look at, find out what those are and try to figure out why you're seeing them.

DavidMills

What z-index are you talking about? The test case doesn't touch the map's CSS at all.

Looks like a z-index issue maybe.
