Require undefined in IE

BrentHoskisson — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 19:31:05 GMT

Only in Internet Explorer, I get

0x800a1391 - JavaScript runtime error: 'require' is undefined

when my page starts up. It continues to run fine in any other browser. Any clue what the issue is?

Thanks.

Update: It seems that the ESRI samples don't work for me in IE either. Is there something wrong with js.ArcGIS.com?

What version of IE?

Version 11.

I ran a quick test using the samples in the JSAPI help and they run just fine using IE11. Can you provide more details? Is the issue only with your code? If so can you provide a simple example that will allow us to reproduce the issue.

Have you tried using IE 11 from a different location? E.g., if you're seeing the error at work, try accessing the same page at home and see if you get the same error.

I don't know why the require part isn't working, but IE11 has it's own "extra security", so won't by default allow you to open a local drive .html file.

If you open the ESRI samples in the sandbox, or copy them to a server they work fine in IE11.

What finally worked was simply copying the ArcGIS init.js file locally and running it. I guess I can't access the http://js.arcgis.com/3.12 directly.

Update: Actually, even better I added init.js to the link as so. And now it works, too.

<script src="http://js.arcgis.com/3.12/init.js"></script>

Thanks

Here is the more correct answer.

Add this to the head section.
