Cannot get JS Template to load in Internet Explorer

[BenMcConville]

I have been working on an ESRI JS template.  It runs fine in Fire Fox and ok in Chrome but it will not even load in internet explorer.  Any ideas why this might be happening and what I can do to fix it??

Thanks

Which template and which version of Internet Explorer?

[BenMcConville]

Thanks for the reply Kelly!  I am using IE 9.0.8112.16421.  I am using the Election Polling Place template. http://arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=14290c7441b34ea984ad9310f4cf6435

Like I said it runs fine in FireFox and runs with problems in Chrome.  IE it will not run at all.

Thanks again.

Let me clarify.  In doing further testing I was able to get it to run in Internet Explorer but only in compatibility view.  Is this normal?

[BenMcConville]

In compatibility view the application works as it does in Chrome. Certain features will not display.

It looks like that template is using Version 2.2 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. IE9 support started at version 2.3 so you can run the application in compatability mode like you are now or upgrade the app to version 2.3.

Blog post regarding IE9 support at version 2.3.

Kelly,  Is there any documentation on how to upgrade the application?

Thanks

Ben,

The upgrade may be as simple as changing the script tags to point to the latest version (2.6) but you may run into some issues. It might be worth leaving a comment on the ArcGIS.com item to ask if the template author has tried to upgrade.
