CGJQGrid - Using IE8 -- grid not displaying

by ScottWGast » 21 Sep 2012 18:33

Good Friday afternoon (or evening, in your local area) :)

The grid works great in IE9, but doesn't display in IE8. Is this just the way it is? or is there something that I can do to make it work in IE8?

Best,
Scott

Hi Scott

The grid should work with

http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:system

http://docs.jquery.com/Browser_Compatibility

However we had report of an issue with ThemeSwitcher css loading that isnt working alright with IE8

Can you test it without ThemeSwiitcher and set Stylesheet instead please? thanks

I'm not using theme switcher... in my base form, I'm using:

Self.StyleSheet.Filename:= WebApplication.ApplicationPath + 'wwwroot\ui-themes\redmond\jquery-ui.css';

I tested with IE8 and IE6 (on two different WinXP Pro computers) with the same result. I get the CGJQDialog (login) screen, successfully login and the grid does not display. IE9 (on Win7Pro/64-bit - my development computer) works fine.

Maybe a Javascript update on the IE8 and IE6 computers?

Can you run this in IE8?

http://trirand.com/blog/jqgrid/jqgrid.html

however it has another DocType

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


And IW users can't set the document type of IWForm, the document html representation.

We have to work in tests for IE8.

IE8 It's a perfect trap, why cant xp users install IE9?

And btw, why not install Chrome / Firefox / Safari?

Yes, I can run http://trirand.com/blog/jqgrid/jqgrid.html in IE8.
Can I check for the browser in IW and set the .DocType to XHTML 1.0 Strict if they login using IE8? I wonder if I set it to XHTML 1.0 Strict if it will work OK in IE9.

I WISH that I could demand that my clients use IE9, Chrome, FireFox... but I have no control over that :(

Best,
Scott

We don't know now and yet, if it's the DocType or other thing

Now we are pushing very hard to deliver the new comp, features and bug fixes asap.

But to change DocType, only if there was a property iin Session or Form (or both, in a chain starting in ServerController).

But since ServerController properties arent threaded writable properties, they should be consider read-only after app starts, because they're property setters arent enclosed in critical sections, and therefor shouldn't be changed by the multi threads created for each request.

For example, while Session2 is setting ServerController.DocType, Session1 could be about to read it, and gets DocType for Session1

if in Session or Form, only one thread accesses a session and their forms at same time, so it's entirely safe.

Actually, there is TIWForm.PageContext.DocType available but currently (and in IW11 too), always assigned to ServerController.DocType, so it gots no use for the moment. I suggested Atozed to change it, because it's a minor change, with great beneficts for IW users facing today's browser demands.

So please trust that we are aware that we must support IE6+ and we will check to see what might be wrong, as soon as possible.
