I've built a few Outlook Add-ins now, but I have one user that is having a problem with Fabric Icons (I've also tried Google Material Icons with no luck). For that user, everything works great on OWA using IE11. But in the Outlook Desktop Client the icons are not loading. I thought the Outlook Add-in used the IE browser, so if it works in IE, it should work in the Outlook Desktop.
I know probably I should be using vorlorn.js but I haven't set it up yet (I was pulling my hair out earlier getting it to work in my local sandbox, due to Add-ins requiring HTTPS, and Vorlon not easily supporting HTTPS)
I haven't tried this yet, but if it's working in IE11 it should work on the Desktop right?
Icon fonts not loading in IE11
Self hosting (Google Material Icons) caused the same issue for me, but using the CDN gets the icons to work.
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
Not ideal for my use case, but it works.

I have a problem at my job.
I am totally dependent on a website which must certainly date from the eighties ...
In one of the web pages, there is a link to download an excel file (xls). Let's say for example http://example.excel.xls
In this file, there are hyperlinks to other files (sometimes i think the death penalty is a good thing! ^^).
These links are relative :'( (for example \myfile.pdf)
Internet explorer, strangely, are correcting these links by transforming them in absolute path (http://example.myfile.pdf)
Other browsers (chrome, firefox, even the old edge) don't do it natively. By clicking on the link, we arrive in the local cache, where of course there arenot my files ...
I will soon have to remove IE from computers.
I had considered sending a bombshell on the administrators of this website, but afraid of legal repercussions :)
Is it possible, via settings, an addon or whatever, to make one of the browsers behave in the same way as IE?
I am very grateful for the help you will give me
You had asked,"Is it possible, via settings, an addon or whatever, to make one of the browsers behave in the same way as IE?"
I suggest you make a test with the MS Edge (Chromium) browser.
The MS Edge (Chromium) browser comes with the IE mode feature.
IE mode on Microsoft Edge makes it easy to use all of the sites your organization needs in a single browser. It uses the integrated Chromium engine for modern sites, and it uses the Trident MSHTML engine from Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) for legacy sites.
To configure IE mode, I suggest you refer to Configure IE mode policies. You can refer to the document and configure the necessary policies to enable the IE mode.
It can help you to load your legacy site in the Edge browser using the IE mode which can help you to fix the said issue.
I successfully (with much frustration) got our c# embedded signing to work on our site, however, that was before I tested with Safari on a Mac. Safari does not allow Third party sites to open in an iframe without already having a cookie for that site stored. If you either open the site beforehand or allowing all cookies, the document will show embedded. However, even messing around with that, the redirection after completion is not working. The please wait popup does not redirect back to my site. I am looking for any embedded solution that supports mac.
The process works great on windows, but does not work on Safari for Mac and is intermittent with Firefox and Chrome on mac.
I am looking for any non-iFrame embedded solutions that I could implement that should work on all platforms and browsers.
Since you have embedding working in terms of generating a URL token, it's up to you how to access that URL. We've seen developers write their own programs to view where they have complete control over the iFrame and can do whatever they like with it, and another solution we've seen is to use a web browser control.
see this SO link
The only workaround that I know of is to pop up a new browser window. I know there is work being done to make it work without cookies, but at this time the new browser window is your only choice.
Sorry about that.
Firstly let me state that I have zero experience with Sharepoint so this may be a pretty stupid question.
I started a new job yesterday and part of the induction is viewing the company literature via their Sharepoint portal. I've noticed that whenever I try to access an embedded PDF link via Chrome it seems like it's a broken link and appears to do a Google search instead. Yet when I try the exact same steps using IE all works as expected.
I don't want to raise this with my boss if it's going to make me look a little stupid! Is there some cross browser issue with PDF links?
Thanks.
Darren, try flushing the cache in Chrome, and if necessary, log off and log back into your computer. We've had the same problem with Chrome and Google doesn't seem to be fixing the problem (although they might point the finger back at Microsoft).
Yes I have the same issue with Chrome and Firefox
Sharepoint is optimized for IE and vice versa
You also can't open Files with the "Check in and Check out" functionality because only IE is able to do that from Sharepoint (Other Browsers will just Download the File)
You can try using AddOns like IE-Tab
(simply uses the IE algorithms within FF and Chrome for specific Sites)
But its better to use Sharepoint with IE
I had an application running on IE7, then, after the release of IE8, I could migrate my application to view with IE8.
Now IE 9 is already happened. What are the tips and tricks to migrate my application to IE9 ? I did a workaround, but I am not satisfied with it. I use the following to set the Document mode to IE 7.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
What are the best ways to handle with IE 9 ?
The gap between elements are widened in IE9 ? How can I modify my site to work well in IE7, IE8 and IE9 ?
The application looks fine in IE7 and IE8. Did Microsoft forget about backward compatibility ?
I gather that your application does not render properly in IE9? You seem to be looking for a "quick fix" to make your application keep rendering the same as it did in IE7 without having to make any significant changes. Such a trick/hack may exist (I don't know), but I'd recommend against it. Eventually you're going to have to update your web app to work with modern browsers -- why not do it now? IE9 is by far the most standards-compliant version of IE, and you would benefit in the long run by making your web app render correctly in IE9 without any "pretend to be IE7" tricks.
I am about to wrap up the implementation for my first ExtJS based application. But I am facing a weird issue at this point.
I am using ASP.net at the server and then ExtJS at the client. I noticed that, If I run this project from Visual Studio Debugger then it works nice, and in that case my browser URL was set to
http://localhost/MyApp/Home.aspx
But As soon as I open a new browser and hit
http://MyWorkStationName/MyApp/Home.aspx
it behaves slightly different.
For instance, some Button Shapes are not rendered properly.
Can any body give me a clue how can I debug this issue. basically how the style can be influenced by the machine name vs localhost in URL ?
Thanks in advance!
I too had the same issue.
This is due to the compatibility issue in ie8. go to tools->compatibility View Settings
uncheck "Display intranet sites in Compatibility view.
In local host or when we run from VS. It is not in Compatibility mode. And works fine in ie or in FF. But as soon as we change the local host to hostname/machinename it is going to compatibility view(default setting).
Jquery drag and drop functionality was also creating some problem. when it was running in compatibility view.
Use this first in header: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9">
You can use Firebug or IE Developer tools to debug the css ( >= IE 8 preferably if Firefox is not an option.).
