    Default IE9 Issues

    Just curious if anyone is seeing issues with links, flash, Java applets, and such in their Xara Web Designer produced sites when viewed in IE9? Specificallly right now I am seeing the most issues with links. I have an older version( still using WD5 )and some people are having problems with links if they use IE9. Is this happening in the newer/newest versions of WD as well?

    Basically the issue I am having right now that is the most important to solve is links do not work. The only way they will work I am told is if the visitor holds the control key down and then clicks them. I am told that brings up some kind of tab they then have to click to get the link to open? I do not have IE9 to see for myself and I am not downloading and installing it to check either. Typical Microsoft glitches, bugs, and CRAP with a new program.

    None of these issues present in IE7 or IE8 on my sites. Just IE9. I did some research online and it does appear IE9 is having issues with links, flash, Java , etc... Just thought I would ask here if anyone else has run into this? I had the people try viewing the site in Compatibiility Mode and it stiill doesn't solve the issue?

    Any suggestions?

    Hi GSthunder

    Try this in the <head> section.

    Code:
     <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />

    Do I add that in addition to the code there already shown below or replace it with yours? I assume replace but?

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7"/>

    I would say replace but that code should be doing pretty much the same thing.

    I've not seen anyone else having these problems with WD and IE9. Did you add any third party code to the site ?

    No. The entire site is done using WD5.

    I will try it anyway but I was thinking along the same lines as you.

    Thanks for the attempted help.

    Finally solved it. Found a few articles on Microsoft sites that dealt with this. The thing that solved it was starting IE9 with no add ons.

    The thing that solves it for me is not starting IE9
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.

    Maybe one of these days M$ will make a browser that people switch to rather than from
