Issue displaying webpage in Xibo player

Asked by George Offley

I am having an issue displaying a web page on the Xibo player. When I go to the web page using Internet explorer in in the client, it displays perfectly, but when I have the player run the web page it displays as if it's an older browser. I am running the client software on a Windows 7 machine with IE 11 installed. I have downgraded to 10 and even wen back to 9 but the result is still the same. I was under the impression that the xibo player was powered by the client's version of internet explorer. Am I incorrect? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

For some reason the webbrowser control in .NET uses IE7 by default. Can you try the attached FAQ to force a later version of IE?
FAQ #2246: “HTML5 in the Windows .net Client”.

That didn't work unfortunately. I set the value to IE 9 (which is what is installed) but I'm still having issues.

Can you easily share the URL of the webpage so that we can test it?

I cannot easily give a URL because the URL points to a file that is only accessible from within my network. I was however to reconfigure to CSS and the jQuery so that it would fit. Which sucks because the original looks so much better than what I ended up with, if I could only bump it up to IE9 compatibility.

You could try adding:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

to the head of your document?

Can you help with this problem?
