Any help will be VERY appreciated!!!

Hello,
I too have an IE 11 problem with my animation. Tests out fine in all browsers, both online and locally, but not IE 11. Look here using IE 11:

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Okay, I may have an IE 11 solution, but don’t know how to implement. I scoured the web and found an Adobe blog page here:

https://blogs.adobe.com/edge/2013/08/07/update-to-edge-animate-cc-is-here-fixing-compatibility-issues-with-ie11/

I went through the procedure and uploaded, but it seems there has to possibly be a conditional php statement to make it work. It appears that IE 11 isn’t seeing my modified (animationname_edgePreload.js) file and processing it.

Maybe an (if IE11 or) php statement to force IE11 to process the modified file, or no?

@ HeadMonkey try to resave the animation in the latest Edge Animate version as described in the post, there shouldn’t be an need for custom coding. After reuploading clear your browser cache. This is definitely not a PHP problem.

@baraklevy I don’t have an IE11 at hand. With your new error, please test it locally standalone. If this works try uploading it and use the iframe mode. If standalone does work, but not iframe mode, then it’s an Edge Suite error. I’m sorry, but I can’t hunt down possible browser specific bugs within animations.

Hello ti2m,

That’s one answer, but I bought the full Adobe cs6 suite with Adobe Edge 1.5. To do what you suggested, I have to join the creative cloud and at a minimum, be billed 20.00 a month, when I don’t create enough animations to justify spending $240.00 a year for the app.

From all I’ve read, all that’s needed here for IE 11 to work correctly is for IE 11 to see and process my newly edited (animationname_edgePreload.js) file which has new YepNope code in it.

That’s what I was hoping to see in a reply, the best method to force IE 11 to process my edited file. That’s why I mentioned a possible php conditional statement.

Do you have another suggestion, now knowing what I’m trying to accomplish?

Ah ok, I see. If you edited the files then Edge Suite should process them without a problem. Did you try to clear the cache?

Yes, I have cleared the cache. Fromm all that I read on the Adobe blog, once I made the edit to my (animationname_edgePreload.js) file which has new YepNope code in it, IE 11 was supposed to process it correctly, but that’s not happening yet.

I don’t know if it knows where to find it. I’m asking if there’s something I can put in my header.php file to make IE 11 aware.

I figured it out guys. By placing this meta tag in my head.php, not header.php file, I got it to work in IE 11:

<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=9″>

I knew that there was an answer here somewhere. After all, it’s just code.

For my purposes, you can call this one closed.

Hey Barry,

where did you find the info? I totally forgot about the X-UA-Compatible meta tag, that was necessary in the early versions of EA. I added it in Drupal, but its not that easy in WordPress. I’ll put it in the FAQ! Could you maybe check if

<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=Edge”/>

works as well. That is as far as I know the recommend setting from the docs.

@baraklevy, could you try this as well and check if that maybe resolves your issue.

Hey,

I did try the content=”IE+EDGE”/> , but it didn’t work for me. Like I said in my last post, It had to go in my (head.php page)where there were several other declarations, not header.php.

I’m on an Apache server, but I may have read where the meta tag: <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=Edge”/> does work on a Windows server.

I don’t remember for sure because I read SO MANY posts online yesterday. Anyway, I’m fixed now!

Barry

Ok, thanks for the feedback, I’ll keep that in mind for other issues.

Guys where is the head.php file located?

CLCUSA,

I’m not sure that all WordPress themes have a head.php template. If yours does, look in the templates folder using ftp, or unzip the theme to a local folder on your computer and look there to see.

You need to locate these type entries at the very top of either a head, header, or possibly a functions file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!–[if lt IE 7]> <html class=”no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7″ <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <![endif]–>
<!–[if IE 7]> <html class=”no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8″ <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <![endif]–>
<!–[if IE 8]> <html class=”no-js lt-ie9″ <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <![endif]–>
<!–[if gt IE 8]><!–> <html class=”no-js” <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <!–<![endif]–>
<head>
<meta charset=”utf-8″>

Just below the meta tag above is where you would cut-n-paste the new IE meta tag.
