Question:
Why can’t I visualize my application when I use Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), and instead I view a blank page?
Solution:
The version Internet Explorer 8 is no longer compatible with several systems, unlike what happened with IE7. If you are using Elipse E3 v3.1 build 270 or higher, the only way to visualize your application with the WebViewer is by using Compatibility mode, available at IE8. The solution is twofold:
1. Go to Tools menu in the browser from where you are accessing the application.
2. Change the e3web.asp file so that it will force your application to always run in compatibility mode with IE7.
Example: The file usually displays this text:
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" > < html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > < head > < title > < /title > < /head > < body style="margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;" > < script type="text/javascript" src="docwrite2.asp" > < /script > < /body > < /html >
Change it to:
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" > < html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > < head > < meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> < title > < /title > < /head > < body style="margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;" > < script type="text/javascript" src="docwrite2.asp" > < /script > < /body > < /html >
