I’m very frustrated with the inability to control the output of xpages and its killing a few pages on our site due to IE 8 and their new rendering engine which won’t work properly with xpages.
All three xpages we developed are basically searchable views.
In every browser version it works fine except the new IE8 – gets a javascript error saying it can’t find dojo.
In IE8 compatibility mode it works fine…
Now, you can tell the browser to force compatibility mode by using a META tag.
So I add the tag to my xpages – all properties, resources, add…
The only two properties needed are as follows:
<xp:metaData httpEquiv=“X-UA-Compatible” content=“IE=EmulateIE7” />
I save and the server refuses to load the page. After an hour of tweaking it seems that without a name= on the meta-tag, the page will not render as errors appear on the server console.
So that doesn’t work –
Now I find that mickeysoft has to have the tag right after the title tag and as everyone knows, xpages puts the tag further down…
Unlike forms and other elements there is no way to force a tag where you need it.
So, does anyone have a possible solution that will render xpages in IE8 compatibility mode? Or better yet, will IBM actually fix xpages so they show properly?
