Issue with Control.Window loading content from Ajax in IE9

[Paolo Dona]

Hello guys,

I've just noticed that Control.Window fails to load content using Ajax
in IE9. The browser goes to the link straight away without loading it
into the window.

You can see this behaviour in the sample provided at http://livepipe.net/control/window
under 'Relative Window / Content from Ajax'

Can anyone suggest a workaround? Maybe insterting the result of the
ajax call via javascript when the window opens?

Best,
Paolo

I have also noticed the same problem with Internet Explorer 9.
Unfortunately, I have not found a solution so far.

Regards, Oliver.

I found a workaround: instead of using an anchor as target element you
can use a normal div or span with an href attribute... eg:

<div class="link" href="/ajax_example">Relative Window / Content from Ajax</div>

instead of:

<a href="/ajax_example">Relative Window / Content from Ajax</a>

Control.Window will still pick the href attribute, whatever the tag..
but this trick will stop IE9 from following the link directly.
Of course you need to style your element properly to make it look like a link:

.link { color: #037CD5; cursor:pointer; text-decoration: underline;}

This html won't validate as href is not a valid attribute for a div
but it seems not to have other nasty drawbacks.

Best,
Paolo
