Title: IE 8 Blank Page -
Post by: Steve Bechtolt on February 06, 2013, 11:51:39 AM

We have some users who cannot connect to our WEBi site properly. The connect to the server, but the IE 8 browser displays a blank page with the following errors in the status bar:
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; DGD; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; DGD; MS-RTC LM 8; GM_UserLogonTimeBias: 300; GM_UserLogonTimeUTC: 2010-12-13 15:06:21)

The site has been added as a trusted site and the "Active scripting" is enabled.
Any thoughts?

Hello Steve,

what version of WEBi are you using? I've had that problem with some old version (1.0.3.X), and not anymore with the latest (and greatest :-D)

Sincerely yours,
Alessandro

We're running WEBi v1.0.4.4, WAS 7.0.21 with ODWEK 8.5.0.6.

the client was able to view the site okay by installing Firefox browser.

Hi,
   Just curious did you copy the ODLineDataViewer2.jar, ODAfp2html.jar ,IEFix.js from WEBi to the WAS server
<WebSphere Root>/installedApps/<node/cell>/wcappservices.ear/wcodservices.war/applets  and restart? I had a similar bug after the upgrade and that got resolved by it.

Thanks,
Siva

I had the problem with a completely blank WEBi login page in IE 11.

The problem is that IE cannot load binary data with ajax if it is not encoded properly, and WEBi uses ajax to load some big parts of the dojo framework asynchronously.

I "solved" it (explained at http://serverfault.com/q/625004/50874 (http://serverfault.com/q/625004/50874) ) by decompressing the javascripts and css files that were gzipped, and actually got it to work in IE11 too!

Why it stopped working in IE11 is probably because Microsoft chose to change the UserAgent (removing "MSIE" from it), which makes old frameworks fail the guess-the-browser game on IE11, which in turn causes the code to miss the extra hoops that must be jumped through on microsofts browsers, since IE11 appears more like Mozilla in the user agent string.
