IE 9 compatibility

Hello,

When using IE9 for the link below
https://www.youracp.org/?page_id=906&s2-ssl=yes
The “apply Coupon” button works on compatibility mode or not
When you select the card type the “Submit” button doesn’t work unless you change the IE9 compatibility mode

I have installed
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ie9-mode/installation/
This made no difference

Any advice greatly appreciated

Regards

Stuart

It looks like the plugin you’re using inserts the following meta tag:

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

I’ve read about folks saying it doesn’t work as good as putting it in .htaccess.

Here’s what I copied out of HTML5 Boilerplate’s .htaccess:

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Better website experience for IE users
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Force the latest IE version, in various cases when it may fall back to IE7 mode
#  github.com/rails/rails/commit/123eb25#commitcomment-118920
# Use ChromeFrame if it's installed for a better experience for the poor IE folk

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
  Header set X-UA-Compatible "IE=Edge,chrome=1"
  # mod_headers can't match by content-type, but we don't want to send this header on *everything*...
  <FilesMatch "\.(appcache|crx|css|eot|gif|htc|ico|jpe?g|js|m4a|m4v|manifest|mp4|oex|oga|ogg|ogv|otf|pdf|png|safariextz|svg|svgz|ttf|vcf|webm|webp|woff|xml|xpi)$">
    Header unset X-UA-Compatible
  </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

You may want to disable that plugin, and stick the above in your .htaccess (above your wordpress and s2member) mod_rewrite rules.

Hi TJ,

Thanks for the info have tested this and it still makes no difference except the compatibilty option in IE has now gone and the submit button is constantly white and will not work?

I have set IE9 to use all websites in compatibility mode via tools menu and that works as a temp fix but i need to for the site to run in this any ideas?

Hi Stuart.

What you’re reporting is not common although we have many site owners using the pro-forms with coupons and their visitors using IE9 without this problem. There must be something in your site causing it.

It us always the same response check theme disable all plugins etc

I know it is probably the theme, i am look for more general support with it cos as mentioned it works in compatibility mode

Thank you for reporting this important issue. We are very sorry for the delay.

We’ve seen this particular problem before, and discovered its root cause is with an Internet Explorer limitation with paragraph (<p>) tags and s2Member’s Pro Forms. See this post for an explanation:

Hi Bruce,

Ok i have found this rogue “” by viewing the source on line 736

So the next question is how do i remove it, as this page is purley the s2member shortcode for the pro forms?

js_composer plugin was causing the tag issue

Thanks for the update, Stuart. I’m glad you fixed it. :)
