Page Builder theme issues with IE9 - WP7


Basically Dojo 1.4 doesn’t support the IE 9 ( DOJO 1.4 Browser Support ) but Portal 7.0.0.0 or Portal 7.0.0.1 uses dojo 1.4.3 as default causing the page builder theme may not work properly in IE9 i.e. Symptoms are like portlets doesn’t show up , navigation menu may not behave proper ..etc



There are few ways we can overcome this issue


1.       Changing or adding any one of following line in the out of the box page builder theme head section

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

2.       Manually change the “Document Mode” or the “Browser Mode” using the IE developer tool in IE9


Note : It showing page default as IE8 in above picture because I have already set the EmulateIE8 meta tag in page builder theme.

Additional Info
1.       Dojo support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0 is provided with Dojo 1.6.1
2.       Portal 7.0.0.2 support DOJO 1.6.1
3.       Existing PageBuilder2 themes using Dojo 1.4.3 (i.e. WebSphere Portal V7.0.0.0 and 7.0.0.1), but you can upgrade DOJO version alone to 1.6.1
4.       Internet Explorer Related
a.       All browsers needed two modes: quirks mode for the old rules, strict mode for the standard.
b.      Browser Mode determines the document mode and it’s chosen before IE request web content. Browser mode sends User-Agent (UA) string  to servers. Site(page) response will define the document mode.
