Version 1.1 - geochart - IE8 rendering

[Jérôme]

my geocharts do not render, using the developpement tools from IE9, with IE8 standard mode.

Using the version 1, there is no thrown error, but with 1.1 Visualization API, IE8 sends back :

Object doesn’t support property or method ‘bind’

Other IE versions render the chart fine though

Post your code or a link to the page and I'll take a look.

[Jérôme]

on this page for example :

http://www.statistics-for-all.fr/map_test.php

It's not a problem with the API.  I replicated your chart, and it works just fine: http://jsfiddle.net/asgallant/nGEMJ/1/

The issue lies elsewhere in your code base.  Does any of your other js code parse or modify the HTML? 

[Jérôme]

well the jsfiddle thing does not work with IE8 settings so it's hard to tell.

i'll try to remove other javascripts and see where is the incompatibility

[asgallant]

The fiddle works fine in IE 7, 8, 9 and with 9 set to "IE 8" mode for me.

[Jérôme]

then it is something to do with regional settings or something in french. The map won't launch on fiddle when setting IE8 standards

[Jérôme]

if someone resolved this kind of issue, that would help me a lot.

I removed everything not linked to this map, simplified the json to the maximum, but the problem stays the same with IE8 standards :

I can't run jsfiddle in IE 8 since their "upgrades", but running the same source from a local file works fine in both IE 8 and IE 9 in IE 8 mode.  All of my IE settings are defaults, I'm not doing anything special to make it work.  I attached the file I ran and screenshots of it running in IE 8 and IE 8 (IE 8 mode).  Note that I added dimensions to the chart to make the screenshots reasonably small, but it works as originally written as well.

@asgallant -

I'm encountering the same problem.  Also, I like Jerome, I cannot run the fiddle in IE9 with IE8 browser mode. I too am seeing the same 'bind' error.

I"m not sure how you managed to run the fiddle successfully in IE8.

I do notice that IE9 will load new pages, by default, in IE9 mode and for each page you must open the developer tools and specifically set that page to IE8 mode.  This surprised me, and for a moment I thought it was working. This because I had a tools panel open and set to IE8, and then opened the fiddle - but each page carries its own browser compatibility setting and has to be set.

We've made a small update to 1.1 to attempt to fix this issue. 

Can you please try geochart in IE8 with 1.1 again, and let us know if it works for you?

the geochart is rendered indeed with IE8. There are still awful issues with tooptip fonts using IE8 though :

[Jérôme]

Well it's confusing. The first time it rendered fine but with the typical font issues of IE8, now it does not display anymore on the same page

Using IE development tools, it renders if browser mode is IE8 with document mode IE9, but not if both settings are on IE8

Hi Jérôme,

I ran the link statistics-for-all.fr/map_test.html on IE8 / WinXP and it ran fine (minus the font discrepancy) on multiple refreshes.

I will try it again on IE9 with IE8 mode on Win7 when I get into the office.

i reproduced the same behavior on my office desktop (win7). First loading of the page with IE8 settings, it worked. Then, switching several times from IE 7 / 8 / 9 document settings and browser mode blocks the geochart and corechart rendering with IE8 settings.

There is something with browser caching stuff.Even when emptying cache and everything, the problem remains. I tried to uncaching js ressources on the server but the problem remains as well.

I was able to reproduce this behavior, but I believe it to be a bug in IE9.

Once I reproduced this behavior, I was no longer able to render VML on any page in IE with these settings.

I tried, for example, http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/vml/redoval.htm which rendered in IE9 / Quirks mode, but not in IE8/IE8, which it should.

I verified that the page content looked correct in IE8 when the charts no longer rendered, but something about the rapid switching between document/browser modes seems to break VML rendering for the whole browser, not just the Visualizations.

i'll ask my windows XP users if they still have the issue with IE8, those ones don't switch document mode every minut
