Trouble reading a TW5 (not editing) using IE8/IE9. Help!

[nathan....@gmail.com]

Our university's CMS is a bear to work with, and we're trying to disseminate a grant-funded project's field and lab data to several customers.  As a work around, I created a TW5 page for the project

http://lambic.nsm.iup.edu/BeaverRun.html 

However, I'm getting reports from folks (particularly those in state gov't offices) that their IE8 or IE9 browsers will not open the page (Firefox, Safari, etc. are working well, but many of these folks have no control of their computer's applications).  Is there something they need to do on their end, or should I consider converting the information to a static set of HTML pages so that any user can see the content?

Any suggestions would be very welcome!

Thanks,
Nate

One suggestion would be to use FireFox from PortableApps.com No admin rights required to install that on any removable device or into any local directory.

TW5 doesn't work well in IE8 or IE9. The idea is to support pre-HTML5 browsers through the static export options - do you need any pointers to setting that up?

There's probably steps we could take to automatically redirect older IE users to the static pages (which would even work in IE6, of course).

I'd like to have the "automatically redirect"

-m

I'd like to have a popup before telling about it: "Your browser does not support enough HTML5 to properly use TW. You will be redirected to a static version." (Confirm) (Cancel)

If "Cancel" is pressed "Are you sure you want to try the full-featured TW5?" (Confirm) (Cancel)

If "Confirm", and the TW is saved afterwards, this popup should not appear again, as long as the browser remains the same.

The idea behind this is that the browser-detection will fail sooner or later when newer browser (versions) appear. Having this stored browser information, the user isn't bugged the next time the TW file is opened.

Thank you all for the feedback.  I've looked around at several posts, including links above.  And while I'm able to create a static page by "exporting" in the tools menu, what I'd really like to create (instead of a list of all tiddlers in alphabetical order) is a set of HTML pages that work like ... http://tiddlywiki.com/static.html

I'm still not seeing how to do this, either through the tools menu or with commands on node.js

Help?

Thanks,
Nate

There's a description of how tiddlywiki.com/static.html is generated under Node.js here:

Jeremy,

Yes, I found that and ran those commands, but I must still be doing something incorrectly since I can't seem to get it to work.  I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks,
Nate

OK ... was able to create this
http://lambic.nsm.iup.edu/static/Beaver%2520Run%2520Project.html

Any suggestions on how to get it to look like the TW5 pages though??  Something to do with the style sheets?

Cheers,
nate
