Lotus Notes and IE10 Compatability

We have a lotus notes web application which is working fine in IE 8 and IE 9. When we moved to IE 10, we had some issues. I am just trying to find, if these need a code change or some configuration settings needs to be updated in IE10. Couple of examples are as below.

  1. There is a list which we can expand and collapse, in IE10 we are not able to Expand and the list all the time is in Collapsed mode.

  2. There is a back button, to go back to the previous screen, but that is not working in IE10.

Please share your thoughts on this.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Subject: Lotus Notes and IE10 Compatability

I’ve just stumbled on some big problems with IE11 and Notes too, specifically opening a mail db. Both StdR8Mail and StdR85Mail fail in grand fashion with IE11.

Just as a side note, we’ve found problems with another (unrelated) app, and I tracked that issue down to the UserAgent string that IE11 returns. IE9 (don’t know about IE10) includes “MSIE” somewhere in the string, IE11 does not. So in this case, the browser-specific code fails because it thinks it’s talking to FF or Chrome and not IE. I’m wondering if something similar is going on with Notes.

Subject: What about mail9.ntf ?

Have you tested it with the mail template from Notes 9? 8.5 came in 2008, and I doubt that the mail template in that code stream have been updated much since then.

Subject: Talk to the developer

You need to look at what component/code it is that is not working. Talk to the developer who created your web application. He/she sghould be able to tell you if what you see is code rendered directly by the Domino server, or if it is code your developer generates.There is no setting that will update your HTML to work in newer browsers.
