Question

I'm working on an Angular project that will be included in a HTML page I don't have control on. Actually I only have access to what is inside the <body> element.

There are many constraints which are not the easiest to deal with: 1- I can't change the doctype: 2- I can't remove this meta tag: 3- The app has to load an XML file

I managed to overcome points 1 and 3 but point 2 gives me a headache ! Here is the error I get when I test on IE8+ (it works fine on IE7 and other browsers):

[$sce:iequirks] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.2.12/$sce/iequirks IE8 in quirks mode is unsupported error in component $sce Strict Contextual Escaping does not support Internet Explorer version < 9 in quirks mode. You can fix this by adding the text to the top of your HTML document. See http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$sce for more information.

I found many solutions on forums but no one has worked so far... Especially hoped that disabling $sceProvider (code below) would make the app work on IE8+ but it didn't:

angular.module('ie7support', []).config(function($sceProvider) {
// Completely disable SCE to support IE7.
$sceProvider.enabled(false);`
});

I even tried to add <!doctype html> to the top of my HTML document, which I am not allowed to but which I did just for the test, and it doesn't solve the problem.

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated cause I'm really stuck right now...

Thanks

Was it helpful?

Solution

Got it !!

I simply needed to give the name of my app instead of silly "ie7support" in the code below:

angular.module('ie7support', []).config(function($sceProvider) {
// Completely disable SCE to support IE7.
$sceProvider.enabled(false);
});

Found thanks to a deeper look at this article: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$sce

Hope it can help some of you !

OTHER TIPS

Thanks for your answer Adam but according to these messages, disabling $sce completely helps AngularJS to support IE in quirks mode...
