I'm sure this questions has been asked many times, but I'm not sure I've seen a definitive answer.
I just finished some testing of our application that uses the UltraWebGrid, 2009 Volume 2 on the IE9 Beta. We use a few infragistics controls and everyhting seems fine so far except for the UltraWebgrid. We have a few pages where data can be edited in the grid and there is some AJAX involved. I all cases the grid seems to freeze after data is entered or edited in one cell. The first edit works fine - including the AJAX functionality. After that, the grid seems to freeze and eventually no data can be entered. There are no javascript errors indicated but it seems like some sort of javascript issue.
I still have a subscription so I could upgrade to the latest realease, but from what I read the controls that are now called the ASP.NET Classic controls are no longer changing. Am I going to be forced to update the application and move to the new version of the grid control? This is going to be quite time consuming but if that's the way it is - so be it.
I'm really just looking for some guidance as to what my options are. It seems that if the UltraWebGrid is not going to be compatible with IE9 then I must do something.
Here is a little more information. The same behavior can be found in IE9 beta when using the Infragistics example application. If you go to theis site:
http://samples.infragistics.com/2009.2/WebFeatureBrowser/
Go into ASP.NET -> WebGrid -> Editing Data -> Client-side Cell Edit
Enter data into a couple cells and hit the Enter key. After entering data in one or two cells the grid is locked and you can no longer edit anything. This is the same behavior we are seeing in our application.
Hello wamanring,
We are considering to include new browser support for the old toolset. It depends on that what resources are needed to support new browsers after they are lunched on the market. Once we make a decision it will be announced on the Infragistics website. Please keep track of updates on Supported Environments page: http://www.infragistics.com/support/supported-environments.aspx#SupportedEnvironments
Best Regards
Can we please have an update on this very important question ASAP as the release of IE9 is now pending. It'll most likely be out by end of Q1 2011 if not before.
It is critical that my web apps continue with the IE family line and if this is not the case (with the older controls), then may I suggest that Infragistics have a moral obligation if nothing else to let us know with as much advance time as possible.
I've just tried the latest IE9 beta with the latest version of Netadvantage and there are multiple problems.
I'm more than willing to engage in the beta process.
Cheers, Rob
PS. The link quoted above doesn't work:
http://www.infragistics.com/support/supported-environments.aspx#SupportedEnvironments
It says "See list below" and there is no list below... but there is a JavaScript error saying ig_scom is undefined. Ho hum ;-)
Cheers, Rob.
PS. IE8
If you go to the link it doesn't work the first time, but if you refresh the page it works the second time - at least it does for me. I'm using IE 8.
