Thread: [DQSD-Devel] IE 11 breaks DQSD

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi everyone,

Just a headsup : installing IE 11 breaks DQSD.

If anyone has a fix, I volunteer to test it !

Kind regards

MLL

Hey MLL,

Long time, no see!

I've given up on IE and subsequently on DQSD, I haven't used it for a
few years...

If someone can find and solve the problem, I can try and get the fix
in and build a new release, but I don't have time or inclination to
pull it myself.

- Kim

Thanks Kim.

I've given up on IE too, but I still can't live without DQSD. Or do you know
about an alternative that can quickly and efficiently give the date and
time, be a calculator, a google shortcut, with keywords for many other
websites searches ?

Kind regards.

I don't use DQSD anymore either but was wondering if putting:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7"> 

in the <head> section in search.htm would fix it?

Well the 64-bit Windows 7 version has been working well for  IE9 & 10 for
some time .  The install only takes about 5 minutes of minor hoop-jumping to
overcome Windows 7 security settings.

I just installed IE11 and..... sure enough Javascript errors.  The "empty"
error in the Clocks.js script can be commented out to allow further testing
(otherwise you get an error every clock refresh!).  Just search for "empty"
in the Clocks.js file.

Once that is commented out the DQSD taskbar window becomes a
vertical/horizontal scroll window -  sort of amusing.  Then the taskbar can
be stretched vertically for access.

Once that is done, the aliases will work.  But if a "test" or "newegg.com"
or "some random search text" is entered then a "nodeValue" error is
generated in Defer_tools.js.

I don't know Java so I have no idea why IE11 fails when IE10 works fine.  Is
this some deprecated feature problem?  Is IE11 trying for force use of
"newer" Java syntax?  Anyway to force it NOT to do that?  

Luv my DQSD....  I have not seen any IE11 "New" features/performance
improvements I can't live without.

I know the DQSD java is old.  Is there some "Java version" declaration
statement need to enable the older syntax to run as-is.  In FORTRAN we could
always compile older code with a "version" switch to negate a re-write when
using a newer compiler version. 

Any Java gurus out there listening?

I use DQSD heavily and I would be lost without it. I would be willing in
principle to try and fix it but I have no idea at all how it works; nor do I
have IE11 although that could be remedied.

Good hit Brent, I get improvement !

Gets much better : no more script errors, no more debug text surrounding 
the textarea. Yet, the textarea does not fit the DQSD area :

or worse, on my laptop its so small (vertically) you can barely click in 
it :

(Both in Win 7 + IE11, with Brent's fix)

Kind regards,

MLL
