Subject: Re: CKEditor won't load under IE Compatibility Mode 

I don't get your point. If you add the meta tag wiht the viewport, then the IE7 mode will load the CKEditor? The CKEditor home page says that IE7 is not supported any more, so I wonder if this simple tag might help. Can you turn off the compatibility mode on a per-URL basis?

If I try on my smatphone, the display is correct, so why you need the viewport tag? Can you shouw me examples?

If you have nice CSS features which are helpful for everybody, please send them to me and I can include it in the distribution, but only after you convince me that it works (almost) everywhere.

Best,
Stefan

I just upgraded to 3.1.0 after many years using 2.9.2. Our eLogs are absolutely crucial for the operation of our accelerators, so first of all I'd like to say: thanks a lot for everything you've done! It's a rock-solid application that works really well.

The issue I'm having is a minor one. Some of our users are using Internet Explorer 11, which has a Compatibility Mode option that is enabled by default for intranet sites (of which our eLog is one). This mode emulates IE7, and this causes the CKEditor rich text box to fail to load. I can tell our users to disable the CM setting on their browsers, but it may be that a simple server-side fix is possible as well.

It would be nice if the eLog pages could have a <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> tag, so that it displays nicely on smaller screens. I've been adding this myself in some Javascript code (see elogHelper.js on the above-linked website), but it doesn't appear on every page (the logbook selection page, for instance). I also made some modifications to the CSS so that the list display collapses down when the browser window is very narrow.

The new autosave functionality is really good. I hacked something together to do this for our log a while ago, but it's nice that it's inbuilt now.

Thanks again!

Ben
