Question

I have a JavaScript web app that dosen’t run on IE.

So naturally I fire up the console to try to figure out what is wrong. However, by some annoying miracle, it decides to work when I do this.

I believe it enters some compatibility mode when the console is open wich fixes the error thus preventing me from findin out what is wrong. Here is all I got from the console:

HTML1200: dropbox.com is on the Internet Explorer 9 Compatibility View List (‘C:\Users…\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IECompatData\iecompatdata.xml’).

• How do I prevent this happening?

or..

• can somone tell me why my app isnt working 🙂

Answer 1

In your script you have got console.log(). The console is only available in IE8 / 9 if the developer tools are open:

console.log(model); // line 104
console.log("Days to complete: " + days); // line 310

All you need to do is remove the console.log() statements.
