XPages richtext field doesn't work on mobile - xpages

I am working on an XPage application with few richtexts field on a page. It works well on desktop, however, the richtext field just doesnt show up on mobile environment. Here's a public link for testing (it would show up a richtext field when opened on a desktop but would just show up a small empty box on an mobile - tested on safari, chrome, default android browser):
XPage Application With RichText Field
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks !

Mobile cannot cope with the CK Editor, so Rich Text cannot be edited on mobile. This is still the case with 9.0.1, from my experience on a recent training course. But I believe the Dojo editor works on iOS. I can't find the blog post and it was from a couple of years ago, but I found that the XPages forum was working by using the Dojo rich text editor instead of the default CK Editor. I can't remember if that was on 8.5.3 or 9.0 though.

If I view the source on your link I see that you have Dojo 1.6.1 and that means to me that you are using Domino 8.5.3
The richtext editor didn't work with older versions of Domino in mobile.
you need to upgrade to Domino 9 or preferable 9.0.1 with the latest Extlib from openntf

What browser does Outlook web use for addins on mac?

Does anyone know which browser Outlook-web uses for addins on a mac?
background: I am developing an addin for outlook web on a mac and I'm making use of a bootstrap collapsable panel. I also have two icons that I want to have to the left and right of the title, however, the anchor tag used to expand / collapse the panel is forcing a line break. I am wondering if this issue is something in my css or a browser issue since setting display: inline on the anchor tag does nothing.
According to MS documentation Webkit rendering engine is used, which is nothing but the Safari browser (with limited functionality) is used.
According to Microsoft
Any browser that supports ECMAScript 5.1, HTML5, and CSS3, such as
Internet Explorer 11 or later, or the latest version of Microsoft
Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari (Mac OS).

XPages mobile controls not working with iOS 8

We have a couple of simple apps that use the XPages mobile controls that no longer work on iOS 8 devices. Tapping on outline entries, dataview entries, buttons in the header, etc. doesn't seem to do anything. Tapping on a category to expand or collapse it in a categorized view is the only thing that seems to work. The apps are running on a Domino 9.0 server with the openntf essentials package installed. iOS 7 and Android devices work fine.
Anybody else having problems with the mobile controls and iOS 8?
I can confirm this problem with our apps that use the mobile controls as well. It seems to be an issue with Dojo 1.8 that is used by these controls. Debug on an iPad running iOS 8 reveals "Deprecated attempt to access property 'changedTouches' on a non-TouchEvent object." and "Typerror: Attempted to assign to readonly property." in Dojo.js:7956.
UPDATE: Got it working by copying Dojo 1.9.4 to the domino\js folder. Also had to add in the ibm and template folders into the dojo-1.9.4 folder. These were extracted from the xsp.dojo.jar file in the Domino\osgi\shared\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.xsp.dojo_9.0.1.20140801-1000 folder. Then had to restart the server. Restarting http by itself doesn't work.
IBM has just released 9.0.1 Fix Pack 2 Interim Fix 1 which fixes SPR PALT9P8JDG "XPage Mobile Controls Fail On iOS 8". The technote has been updated accordingly.

Embed Google Chrome or Firefox in Excel Sheet

It is possible to embed the 'Internet Explorer Web Browser' in an Excel Sheet using the Microsoft Web Browser Object. How does one Embed Google Chrome or Firefox in an Excel Sheet?
There is a project to provide a Mozilla ActiveX control matching the IE Web Browser Control Interface as much as possible. I am not following the progress but its supported version seems dated.
As for Chrome you could check out Chromium Embedded but it doesn't seem to support ActiveX so you would have to work something out using the .NET binding (CefSharp) in combination with VSTO and WinForms.
I have used CefSharp with WinForms application and it works quite well.
The samples are good for a quick start.

CRM 2011 (rollup 12) shows the mobile view instead of the normal view in non IE browsers

I recently went to do a demo of some a CRM solution I had been developing but when I tried displaying it on my MAC in firefox and chrome it comes up with the mobile interface. The instance will never be used on mobile devices so I want to disable this functionality for the whole site...How do I do this?
I had the same issue when I opened crm on firefox (on explorer and chrome it was ok), I assume you are using roll up 12 since only from this rollup you have other browsers besides internet explorer integration.
The issue with me was that for some reason, it opened the "default.aspx" page, which opened this url:
https://mydomain:444/m/default.aspx
When the correct address should be:
https://mydomain:444/main.aspx#
I'm also guessing that you have set up ADFS..
I had the same problem and what helped for me was to add the site to the Compatibility View in Internet Explorer.
If you're using IE 11, try compatibility mode. Settings -> Compatibility View Settings

SharePoint Error "The list cannot be displayed in Datasheet View"

How to fix this error in SharePoint:
"The list cannot be displayed in
Datasheet view. A datasheet component
compatible with Windows SharePoint
Services is not installed, your
browser does not support ActiveX
controls, or support for ActiveX
controls
It started to days ago, for apparently no reason. ActiveX is enabled on this site and I had everything working fine so far. Not sure what went wrong.
Thanks,
... from IE check out your Internet Options, and look under 'Programs'->'Manage Add-Ons'
When I had this problem it was because an add-on was missing or disabled... * thinks * "Microsoft Office List 12.0" or something.
I was getting the below in SharePoint 2010.
The Standard View of your list is being displayed because your browser
does not support running ActiveX controls.
Turns out the site (master page) was being rendered in IE9 mode and the datasheet supports only up to IE8.
The datasheet mode can be used temporarily by switching the Document mode and the User agent string both to IE 8, or permanently by using the meta tag X-UA-Compatible IE=8.
This is known issue and you have to install the hotfix provided by Microsoft.
The issue is addressed in the below specified link along with the URL for the hotfix.

This link helped me and it worked fine. Our environment was Windows 7 64bit and MS office 64bit as well, after installing this connectivity tools, user had a option edit the data sheet view in sharepoint.
I ran into the same issue after updating to Office 365 but remaining with IE 11 and Sharepoint 2010.
Issue:
using a 64-bit version of Office with a 32-bit version of IE

Resolution: Installed 2007 Office System Driver: Data

Seems like a client/browser problem.. do you have Microsoft Office installed? Did you change security settings in Internet Explorer?
My environment is SP2010 enterprise and after trying several solutions, I realized that the user that could not see the views in Datasheet style was because did not have installed "Microsoft Access" that is required when you are using views in datasheet style. So the solution for me was to upgrade that specific user from Office Standard to Office Professional
For me, I performed the following and it worked for me:
Open Control Panel and open Programs and Features
Find your instance of Microsoft Office and select it
Click change at the top
On the dialog that comes up, click Add or Remove Features and then continue
Make sure Microsoft Access Web Datasheet Component is installed under Office Tools/Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support
Even if it is showing as installed, click Continue.
Let everything install, close any office programs out, then try again
These steps worked for me.
