Snapping in IE10 + IE11

ØyvindIdland — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 08:07:03 GMT

Hi,

we suddenly discovered that snapping doesn't work in either drawing or edit toolbars when using IE10. We are currently using 3.7, but doesn't seem to work with 3.8 either when trying that. I then tried using the official samples, and they seem to have the same problem.

Example (use CTRL to activate snapping): http://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/samples/ed_selectionmode/

I then tried using the F12 development tools in IE, and forced the browser to version 9. This makes the snapping work again.

One workaround could be to force the browser to IE9 mode using meta tags, but that will break some HTML5 functionality in the application.

Anybody else having this issue ?

FYI, after the post i found out that this is a known bug reported in July 2013.
Snapping will not work in IE10 or IE11.

This has been fixed in 3.9, which will be out very soon.

I am facing the similiar issue and I did manage to find out later that it was a known issue with IE10 and above.. But to my luck my client is using IE9 as of now. But hoping they might upgrade in the near future and ESRI releases the fix by then.

Regards,
Manish

I'm just starting to look at why my snapping isn't working on IE11 and found this thread. Has 3.9 fixed this as suggested?

The only bug I found listed was this, which doesn't tell me much:

Is there any news on this? Thanks Jon.

I thought this was fixed internally so I looked into it.

This might actually be related to a bug with the dojo/keys module.

No further update but I will try to post again when I do.

This is still not working in 3.9, neither in my app or in the online examples:

A workaround for this issue is to set the Compatibility View on the client:.

Are there any updates to this issue? Changing the compatibility mode isn't always an option on some embedded projects.

It has been fixed internally for next release.

In the meantime, I was working on a 3.9 application level fix that I should probably share here.

Using the following sample:
http://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/sandbox/sandbox.html?sample=ed_selectionmode
https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jssamples/ed_selectionmode.html

Enter the following code before calling editorWidget.startup();

editorWidget._drawToolbar._mouse = true;

This may or may not work in all browser/device combinations but it seemed to do the trick for simple test cases.

Let me know if this helps at all.

Hi Jon,

thanks! This works indeed for "esri/toolbars/draw" (by setting _mouse=true before i to activate() on it).

Is there an equivalent fix for "esri/toolbars/edit" too ?

I see that 3.10 is out but I didn't see any mention of this. Is there a status update?

Re: Snapping in IE10 + IE11

JonathanUihlein — Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:51:41 GMT

The fix may not have made the patch notes, but it should be in.

I can check on this further when I return from the UC.

Are you still having issues?

I did a quick check of my project with the new API and the snapping looks like it works in IE11. Exciting!

snapping for 'edit' tool doesn't work in IE 11. It works well in Chrome.
