<Project>.HTML Compatibility |

Mark Brooks Slikware | Tim,
I have just, for the very first time, come up against a peculiar issue. I am embedding the (excellent) Mozilla PDFViewer into my web app. It's basically a very fast, very flexible PDF vector renderer. I embed it within a TPage. This works fine on all browsers except IE (8,9,10 or 11). A bit of research and tinkering shows that the issue is down to this line in my project's HTML file: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"> As I understand it, this tells IE to use a rendering mechanism compatible with the older browsers. Common guidance seems to suggest using this line instead: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> When I manually make this change, all works well on IE. Is there any particular reason why this is not the EWB default? Thanks Mark |

Common guidance seems to suggest using this line instead: > <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> This AFAIK means use HTML5 mode (most supported standards). Does your app work with the IE9 setting ? (<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9">) > When I manually make this change, all works well on IE. Is there any particular reason why this is not the EWB default? This is already default in EWB2 (at least in preview). For EWB1 this can only be used if project has HTML5 enabled otherwise it has to remain as now for rest. Raul |

I am using EWB 1.01 Build 5. Did the "Enable HTML5 functionality" option come in after that? If not, where should I be looking? Cheers Mark |

Not sure when it appeared - i think it has been there from the very beginning. In project manager window (where the files/unit are shown) its the orange icon with 5 on it (small version of this image : http://www.w3.org/html/logo/). There are 2 icon options there - one for compressing output and other for enabling html5. Raul |

Uli Becker | Addition:
on the download site you can find: << 1.02 Release Notes Elevate Web Builder 1.02 now includes many new features/enhancements: Compiler You can now select whether the emitted output will be runnable under IE 8 (limited HTML5 functionality - persistent storage only) or IE9 (HTML5 canvas, persistent storage, and media functionality). For example, the IE9 functionality is required for use of the TPaint control. >> So you won't find it in the version you are using. Uli |
