WebloginPE and IE7

    Hi,

    I have a fully functional webloginPE setup in Chrome (and Firefox). However, in IE7 the registration page just refreshes, but never goes further into the process. Also, there is never an error message showing up, so it seems the page refreshes without ever sending data to the snippet.

    Has anyone ever gotten the WebloginPE snippet to work in IE7?

    Thanks.

      Hi,

      Is nobody interested in IE7 anymore? A lot of corporate users are stuck on this browser still.
      From looking at the generated html code, I see no reason why the form submission doesn’t work at all.

      Help!

        I get this by requesting ieButtonFix.js needed to handle <button> tags in Internet Explorer: 
        <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>403 Forbidden</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Forbidden</H1>
You don't have permission to access /assets/snippets/webloginpe/js/ieButtonFix.js

          That’s very helpful, thanks! Would you think that this is the result of permissions? The file is present (as far as I can see in the Modx File Manager). I don’t think I can verify permissions without ftp or ssh access, right?

          Chrome Devtools says: Resource interpreted as script but transferred with MIME type text/html (ieButtonFix.js). Could this be that the call in html has the wrong mime type?

          This is the call in the html:
          <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/snippets/webloginpe/js/ieButtonFix.js"></script>
          . Seems ok to me.

            Yes, you need FTP client or Control Panel File Manager access to check that.

            This is the call in the html:
            <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/snippets/webloginpe/js/ieButtonFix.js"></script>
            . Seems ok to me.

            Looks ok to me, too. What I usually do is wrap it inside IE conditional:
            <!--[if IE]> <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/snippets/webloginpe/js/ieButtonFix.js"></script> <![endif]-->

              Hmmmm, help me out here, please. The file ieButtonFix.js IS stored at the correct location, but no matter which permissions I give to the file, the result is always the same. Going directly to the file in a browser http://www.obblaricum.nl/assets/snippets/webloginpe/js/ieButtonFix.js gives a 403 Forbidden and http headers also show a 403 Forbidden.

              What am I missing here? I can’t access any .js file in that directory, for that matter.

                That happens in FF also. What are the permissions on that directory and its files (as shown in cPanel’s File Manager).

                  Can’t check out till later today, but I moved the .js file to /assets/js and changed the reference in the webloginpe snippet and things are back to normal in IE7 again!

                  As a matter of reference, what should the permissions be on snippet files and folders?

                    It depends on the host. I’m going to guess that your host implemented suPHP or suExec or something similar (though you should check), in which case folders: 755 Files:644.
