This problem relates specifically to IE9,10 11 and cffileupload. The best solution is not to use cffileupload but unfortunately that is not an option.
The problem is that standard corporate install for this company runs IE9 in quirks mode or IE8 standards mode. Or pretty much anything except IE9 standards. So to force IE9 into standards mode I insert the following META tag as the first tag after the <html> tag. *<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9; IE=Edge" />* That works if it is the first tag after <head>, except on a page that uses *CFFILEUPLOAD*. (I have been told that I cannot change to uploadify) CFFILEUPLOAD stuffs its own javascript and css links right at the top of the <head>. This means that the my META tag no longer works and IE9 jumps back to IE7 standards. So, when using cffileupload, the <head> looks like below. With the the essential <meta> tag last. Is there any way to force that tag to the top, before the cffileupload stuff? The only method I found was to copy the source and put it all in manually. *CFHTMLHEAD* doesn't help. thanks, Stephen <script type="text/javascript">/* <![CDATA[ */_cf_loadingtexthtml="<img alt=' ' src='/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/resources/cf/images/loading.gif'/>"; _cf_contextpath=""; _cf_ajaxscriptsrc="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax"; _cf_jsonprefix='//'; _cf_websocket_port=8575; _cf_flash_policy_port=1243; _cf_clientid='256B8C2E86BA37A1D5357148831095AB';/* ]]> */</script><script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/yui/yahoo-dom-event/yahoo-dom-event.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/messages/cfmessage.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/package/cfajax.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/yui/animation/animation-min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/ext/adapter/yui/ext-yui-adapter.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/ext/ext-all.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/package/cffileupload_swf.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/resources/ext/css/ext-all.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/resources/cf/cf.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/resources/cf/uploadfile.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/cfform.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/masks.js"></script> <title>ORORA Tender Tool</title> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9; IE=Edge" /> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
