njallison Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I recently upgraded a system running windows 8 to 8.1 with this came IE 11 and now I have a problem. When I access an oscommerce store (tried 3 different stores all which I could access from firefox) I get an error message saying that ``Internet Explorer has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. This occurs if I access the store or the Admin pages. HELP!

MrPhil Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I take it then that IE10 finally went Gold? IE11 is probably still beta, and will be very buggy for a long time, given MS's track record. Don't worry about it -- likely osC will have no changes needed. Go ahead and report IE11's problems to MS, if you have a channel for doing that. The solution is to use a real browser (FF, Chrome, etc.).

4vrij Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Hi, The problem with IE 11 and Oscommerce are HTTPS / SSL content wih HTTP content on one page. this will emty the shoppng cart and not make the next step to the Shipping page. It works when dissable SSL. Oscommerce is not the only program who have this problem with IE
Marvin Miller Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 I'm having the same problem. I cleared all cookies and the cache, re-visited the site and same thing. When I log in as a customer I return to the same page and am not logged in. Works fine in Chrome and checked cookie settings - they are fine update: just checked with other IE11 browsers on different machines - all OK. Go figure.

♥kymation Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Customer data is stored in the session until the customer logs in/creates an account. This includes the cart contents. The cookie is the key to that session. Destroy the cookie and you have destroyed that session and all of the data stored in it.

In fact, I had deleted all cookies, files, web forms and history. I cleared it all out - completely. Same issue. Nothing changed. I also verfied the cookie domains and catalog path in configure.php I also re-started the web server - nothing changed. I checked PHP.ini all looked well. I then reverted back to IE10 and presto - proper functionality. This tells me that there is something seriously wrong with 11 and it does have an impact on OSC. I'm quite sure you'll see more posts along these lines with respect to IE11. Also, this text box that I'm typing my reply in? With IE11, on two separate computers, the words get messed up as if the keyboard buffer can't keep up. Typing out replies was a chore. That too appears to be gone with the reversion. I'm able to type this reply at normal speed. Best & Thanks;Marvin----------------------osCommerce 2.3.3.4
♥kymation Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Did you try IE 11 in Quirks mode? Regards Jim See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
Marvin Miller Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Hi Jim - if that's the new cutesy buzzword for compatibility mode - I never thought to check (doh!). Sorry about that - it might have helped. I can tell you that I've reverted two machines so far....and all is well. Best & Thanks;Marvin----------------------osCommerce 2.3.3.4
♥kymation Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 It's been called that since IE6, as far as I can remember. Yes, that's what I meant. If that works, you should be able to fix the problem by adding this to the head section of the page in includes/template_top.php: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10"> Regards Jim See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
Marvin Miller Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Excellent! Done & done. Thanks for the tip! I guess I could try 'upgrading' back to IE11 but I don't have a lot more time to waste :) Best & Thanks;Marvin----------------------osCommerce 2.3.3.4
♥14steve14 Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 I to had a few problems with IE11 and reverted back to the previous version. There are a few complaints about different areas of ie11 on the internet, so it could just be a case of waiting until microsoft get it sorted, or to use another browser. I didnt have any problems with my site though, so thats no real worry as yet. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP
knifeman Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Just an add on to the conversation. It seems it is sometimes the combo of windows version and ie version. I have win 7 professional and ie 10. Could not open pdf files on websites. ( googled a workaround) Upgraded to ie 11 and pdf files work, graphs in admin show up that did not before. Have had no problems opening my store in any browsers though, except on the kindle. It is set to accept cookies, but my store says it isn't. Tim
Marvin Miller Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Good to hear more from others experienced with IE11. I have 7 other virtual machines, all Server '08 R2 and all with IE11 that I tried out. In each case the site worked. However, these browsers are never used. They are literally clean. On the other hand, IE11 on both my workstation and my netbook exhibited the same behavior. Log-in's dropped you back to the log-in page and you were not logged in. I did find that with IE11 replying to posts here was troublesome. I could not type at a normal rate of speed and many characters were dropped. I also found that going into the developer side of IE11 using F12 to clear the cache resulted in artifacts remaining on the screen and several times the browser locked up completely. I did completely clear the cache, form data, cookies - you name it, in an effort to clean it out. No dice. Both my workstation and netbook are Windows 7 Enterprise. I have no doubt that IE11 has serious problems and I've seen this before from Microsoft (as we all have). It's good to hear from others with their experiences but my conclusion is that IE11 has some serious defects that prevent it from being able to be used in a production environment.

MrPhil Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 The problem with IE 11 and Oscommerce are HTTPS / SSL content wih HTTP content on one page. This is a different problem than what was reported in the OP. Please open a separate thread for it. Mixing secure and insecure content on one page is a code problem -- all browsers should object to it in one way or another. Usually you have to give explicit permission to mix the two. I've never heard of it simply failing, though anything is possible with IE.
Guest Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 I had the same problem..... if your Shop is running in an Iframe, please add : header('P3P:CP="IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT"'); after define('PAGE_PARSE_START_TIME', microtime()); in application_top.php ---- in my case, it works ;)
Marvin Miller Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I dont find any problems with IE11 on my site. Well, shortly after going IE 11 across the network the calls started coming in. People couldn't access their webmail, sites were not displaying correctly, just general usability issues all over the place. In the end, other my original post about issues with IE11 & oSC, we found at least a dozen other instances where sites would not work correctly or display correctly etc etc etc. It didn't take a rocket scientist to determine that the common link in all of this was IE11. So we ditched it, network wide, and moved over to Chrome. I can remember being bitten by IE releases in the past but I thought we were beyond that point now. Based on my experiences with 11 on a number of fronts I am certain this is not unique. In fact, as previously mentioned, we even had issues typing into this very reply box on this site using IE 11. I'm now typing this reply with Chrome just as fast as I can with no issues (other then actual typos ;) Best & Thanks;Marvin----------------------osCommerce 2.3.3.4
kenneth59 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Been my experience that IE sucks, why would anyone even use IE? Chrome or FF seems much nicer.
♥14steve14 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Been my experience that IE sucks, why would anyone even use IE? Chrome or FF seems much nicer. If you look at a sites stats, you will find that that the largest number of visitors use IE. It cannot be ignored as it is the most popular. It may not be the best, and it has its problems, but then so does every bit of software. A site should work on all operating systems, even the new ones. It just so happens that Microsoft never make a good job of internet explorer. To get this site working in IE11 use it in compatibility mode as there is some quirk between IE11 and the editor, which is used on this site. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP
MrPhil Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 IE has always been the bane of site developers. So long as MS is permitted to violate antitrust laws and continue to bundle it with Windows, it will always be among the most commonly used browsers, despite its generally being a POS. Most people are too lazy (or ignorant) to install FF, Chrome, or another good browser, so they suffer along with IE, and site developers suffer too. Just don't call it "most popular" -- it's not popular; it just happens to be used the most, and most of its users have no idea what they're missing out on. Remember the "good old days" when you frequently saw "This site requires such-and-such browser"? Especially "requires Internet Explorer" because it was built with FrontPage? Maybe we need to push back against MS's monopoly and deliberately make our sites low quality (just barely workable) for any IE browser (run at IE6 level). Run with full quality and features for any other browser.
