IE8 and HTML5

I just updated an eLearning lesson from CP5 to CP6 and output it to HTML 5. Aside from a few minor adjustments it worked perfectly. I can't tell you how impressed I was.
My manager ran the lesson in her default browser which IE8 and it isn't supporting HTML 5. Unfortunately we support that version for our products and it's a show-stopper for any HTML 5 delivery. I read a few articles where people seem to be 'coding around' the incompatibilty by adding scripts to the HTML. Has anyone had any success with this? Any suggested solutions that anyone is aware of? Are there any settings in the output that can get around this?
Best, Steve

Hi Steve,
Just to confirm, HTML5 is not supported on IE8, the compatible version is IE9 or higher.
When you play the HTML5 content from Captivate on IE8 (or any incompatible web browser) it itself prompts that it would work on following web browsers--
Internet Explorer 9 or later
Safari 5.1 or later
Google Chrome 17 or later
Thanks,

IE8 and prior not showing Edge Websites. Whats the best solution?

Hi All...
Whats the best solution to have Edge websites appear on IE8 and Prior internet Explorer versions.?
Is it too weird to Design the whole website in Adobe Edge? should I just use this sofware to create partial animations for webpages?
I see lots of arguments around SEO too. Very confused if I should trust Edge to replace the HTML5-JavaScript-CSS3 handcoded websites.

Hi, Departure-
There are a couple of options for displaying to users of IE8 and below: you can display the down-level stage (which, by definition, displays to browsers that do not support Animate content), or you can turn on the Google Chrome Frame, which is available in the Web section in the Publish Settings dialog.
Hope this helps.

CS3 will not show CSS3 and HTML5 in WYSIWYG "design view"?

So, just got a mobile site template that is CSS3 and HTML5. When I open it to work on it in Dreamweaver CS3, the CSS is not displayed in the "design view" but yet, when you preview in browser, all is perfect. In the WYSIWYG design view, I see the content, but styling is missing. Preview in browser, it is all there.
Is this just a limitation in the CS3 WYSIWYG design view function and I am out of luck? Is there a "fix" - other than a costly upgrade - for it in CS3?

Dreamweaver's design view isn't perfect WYSIWYG even for CSS2.1. Also, I believe you are using a very old DW (CS3) so you are definitely out of luck. Have you tried using the trial version of CS 5.5? It is worth a try but I am not recommending you to buy it now because CS6 is expected to be released in the second half of this year if not before.
Please note DW isn't a WYSIWYG editor so I won't rely on it at all. Always view your page in the two main browsers - FF and IE8/IE9
Good luck.

File does not exist: /www/public_html/null, referer: - error in log file from IE8 and IE9

I just updated an existing slide show that was created several months back. Since loading my new set of files to our web server, we keep getting the following error in our server log files when someone loads our page in IE8 and IE9:
File does not exist: /www/public_html/null, referer:
One of our programmers tracked the error to this line of code, but we're not sure what's causing it:
Muse.Utils.addSelectorFn('#slideshowu70', function(elem) { new WebPro.Widget.ContentSlideShow(elem, {autoPlay:true,displayInterval:6000,slideLinkStopsSlideShow:false,transitionStyle:'horizo ntal',lightboxEnabled_runtime:false,shuffle:false}); });/* #slideshowu70 */
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

The errors aren't showing up on the client side, only in the server access logs. Every time the page is loaded with IE8 or IE9 and the Muse.Utils.addSelectorFn with the #slideshowu70 line is hit, it generates four errors in the server access logs.
Our admin guy pulled the errors from where it was clicked on from the Adobe forum. He said it also appeared that you tested it with www added to the url (if this was when you were testing it)...

The reason we find it strange is because it did not result in errors with the previous version of the slideshow. The only thing that changed this time around is that I removed some slides and added additional ones, but I noticed that there is a lot of difference in the code and even the scripts that are used. And I did copy over all of the scripts, css files, etc., so it's using all of the new source files.
I was hoping it was something that you guys had noticed if you review the access logs when you're testing. While it works perfectly on the client side, the IT guys do go through our access logs, so it would be nice to eliminate the errors.
Thanks for looking at it!

Some web pages come up blank, generally following a link, that have opened without issues in earlier FF versions. Pages open OK in IE8 and/or in Chrome. Have tried the cookies clearing etc as suggested elsewhere, without success.

I'm running FF 3.6.8. Certain websites (no apparent pattern, no secure sites) come up blank (white screen), showing "Done" on the footer. It generally happens when clicking on a link in another web page but no login or similar is involved to get to the intended site. Have cleared the cookies and followed the advice for a similar issue stated elsewhere on the Help forum, to no avail. Have also not added any add-ons since that recent FF upgrade.
The affected sites have come up without issues in earlier FF versions, and they do load in IE8 and in Chrome. A representative example is shown below. - Will appreciate any helpful comments and recommendations!

"Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"<br />
"Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"<br />
<br />
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />

Bookmarks in ie8 and safari do not sync to iphone and ipad

IE version 8
iphone 4, ios 4.3.3
ipad 2, ios 4.3.3
itunes 10.3
Windows XP SP3
Hello everyone, hope someone could help me..
I really want to sync my bookmarks from my PC to my iphone and ipad but it doesn't seem to work. I already tried the following but they all failed:
1. Clear Sync history
2. Clear cache, cookies and history from iphone/ipad
3. uncheck sync bookmarks in itunes, then sync. then re-check then sync again.
4. I tried deleting all bookmarks in IE8 and then re-creating them, then sync afterwards
All these methods failed. Everytime I try and sync itunes with my iphone/ipad, the sync is successful but bookmarks is left out. No syncing happens for bookmarks. Apps, music and contacts sync work fine though..
Hope you could help thanks!!

No bookmarks bar folder is created
For perspective, my IE8 has bookmarks both in Favorites bar and in Favorites (apparently they are different). I did this to ensure that it's not just a matter of wrong bookmark location in IE. am i doing something wrong?
Also, when I sync there is this one bookmark (google reader) that keeps on popping up even though I manually delete it in my iphone. It suddenly shows up after every sync.

Different output observed in IE8 and IE11 for same HTML file

when I open the below html code in ie8 and ie11 the output is different.
<div style=" color: EAE6F1; " id="Screen147">
<img style=" width: 1280; height: 1020; " id="item1" src="Desert.jpg" border="0"/>
<div style=" background-color: FFFFFF; color: 000000; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 31px; layout-grid: both fixed 51px 32px; white-space: nowrap; " id="item2">
                     
</div>
<div style=" background-color: FFFFFF; color: 000000; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 31px; layout-grid: both fixed 51px 32px; white-space: nowrap; " id="item3">

</div>
I want to display a white block in the image. but when run in IE8 the white block appears bigger as compared to when displayed in IE11.
I wanted to know why is this behaviour and if the code is same then the output should also be the same. can anyone help me to understand this behaviour?
thank you very much in advance for your replies.

Hi yashajmera,
Same script gets different results ,just as Greg said this may be related to the different rendering pages methods between different Internet Explorer versions.
Here is a link for reference :

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676915(v=vs.85).aspx
We also can try to choose different view mode by F12 tool to have a check .
To get more detailed information ,it is recommended to look for help from our MSDN forum for help.

IE8 and IE9 issues

Created a site in DW CS3. Recently Made some modifications using DW CS3 and added some new rollovers. Everything previews correctly in Safari, Firefox, Opera and IE5.2 (mac).
When viewed in IE8 and IE9 I get colored outlines around some of the rollover images. This does not occur on the rest of the site, only where I added the new rollovers. I added the bottom two rollovers, but the older top two rollovers are also affected. Does anyone have any ideas?
This is a link to the page
http://www.gfigenfare.com/Services/Serv_SpPrts.html
Below is a screen shot of the page from IE9
Thanks

You have a stray <html> tag in your head.
I think you need to close off your <img> elements with a back slash at the end like this:
<img src="../Home/images_home/Contact_out.gif" alt="contact us" name="ContactImage" width="199" height="62" border="0" />
Some of your other errors occur I think, because you are using deprecated attributes. At least I think that's the case. I don't think they will muck your layout up but then, I never have used a table based layout.
One thing that you could try is to use HTML Tidy in the validator - http://validator.w3.org/ There's a check box there under "more options" that will run your code through that and it will spit out your page all neat and tidy at the end of the results page. It adds its own meta tag to show that you used it. I always remove that so people can't see I cheated. I don't like using it because for me it circumvents the whole learning thing. Easy, but no help for the future.
It is a bit of a blunt instrument I think and I would always use it with caution. It should only take minutes so what I would try is to duplicate your page in DW, rename it testpage.html or something, run the validator on your existing page, copy the whole of the code that it spits out for you, delete the exising code in your test page and paste that in and then er... test it.
What HTML Tidy will do for instance, is add in things like unclosed elements.

Tab key won't work. Works in IE8 and Safari but not Firefox. Thoughts?

About a week ago, the tab key stopped working in Firefox (when I updated Firefox?). It works fine in IE8 and Safari. I love Firefox but will have to switch if I can't get this resolved.
Thanks.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Mozella 3.6 will not run well with Adobe Flash Player 10.1-- IE8 and Adobe Fpash Player 10.1 does work

I use filehippo.com to automatically update my applications. So I have Mozella 3.6 and then recently downladed and installed Adobe Flash player 10.1 or the latest version.
I then proceed to http://www.africam.com/wildlife/lc_player_chat.php?sh=nk-1
and found that the picture will not show- I get a running circle and then a brown square instead of the pic.
Now using IE8 and the same version of Adobe Flash Player I get the picture.
This worked in Mozella before the last update of Adobe.
Can you give me any direction to fix this?

Hi, not sure what that is about. Did you use the Adobe Uninstaller first and follow the instructions?
I would download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then I would download and SAVE the Installer to your Desktop:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html Use the EXE Installer for Windows/IE
Once you have that done, then Close all browsers, disable any messenger services in the system tray(area near the clock)
Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Then run the Installer and reboot when it is finished.
Then test here and you should see the Flash logo animation and the version of Flash Player that is Installed.

How to publish for both swf and html5

I have a course that I need to publish for swf and html5, and have the system automatically detect which browser the user has. Can someone help me figure out how to do this? I am not a very technical user. I am using Captivate 6. Thanks
Danielle

You just have to check both SWF and HTML when publishing. Load up everything to a server. Have a look at this video, some more in the same channel:

Anyone have a slideshow that works in both IE8 and Firefox?

I have tried the widgets offered by Adobe. They don't work in IE8 and I have tried all the fixes from the Adobe Labs.
Doctype....If I change the doctype as recommended, then I get a white outlined box in the middle of the photos which I can't remove. If I change the doctype, then the slideshow won't work in Firefox.
Meta...If I add the meta line as suggested, no change at all.
Outline remove....I saw this on the forums, but could not find the line in any of the CSS code.
Other slideshows...I have tried downloading Easy Rotator and can't register and when I go to their website - can't put in a support ticket. Obviously they have problems running their business so I would like to find something and someone simple if possible that works!
Any one have any recommendations? I just need a very simple straightforward slideshow - nothing fancy - for my online catalog.
Thanks!
Janet

I took out the options for the end user to pause the show
If that is what you are looking for change the variable autoplay to true:
autoPlay: true,

Cannot get IE8 and FlashPlayer10 to get along

While using Internet Explorer 6 I never had any issues with Flash Player. I wasn't even aware that it was there. After installing the new Internet Explorer 8 I began getting more computer freezes than I can ever remember having. This happened whenever I came to a website that wanted to use FlashPlayer even though it was already installed. I had to hit the computer reset button many times.
With IE8 installed I went through the different instructions on the Adobe website. I downloaded the uninstaller and tried that with no luck. I downloaded the SubInACL tool from Microsoft and the reset_fp10.zip file from Adobe and tried that according to the instructions. Still no results.
I then tried to manually adjust Registry Permissions according to TechNote tn_19148. No results
I removed IE8 and everything runs fine. I like IE8. Any ideas.
Thanks, Steve

We've tested IE8 extensively without any serious issues, but it's certainly possible that something on your machine or in your IE8 install (as Feran suggested) is conflicting.
Follow his advice, try to narrow it down and if necessary open a support case against Flash Player (webcase only) via this technote:

Looks like you have to upgrade to at least 7.8.2.16.
