Hey everyone,

If you haven't helped out with our testing process yet, now would be a great time to start. There's a lot of great new stuff it this release, but we want to make sure it's properly tested.

The link to start testing in Litmus is here. Just click, make an account, and do some tests. Even 5-10 minutes of your time would be great:

Thanks!
-Holmes

P.S. Trying to add subtitles at these links and reporting any problems is also excellent!

Is IE8 really supported?

I tried clicking 'Subtitle me' for http://universalsubtitles.mirocommunity.org/video/4/whats-open-video
in IE8... it says 'Sorry, Universal Subtitles doesn't support your
browser yet. Upgrade your browser or try Firefox'.

You have to be sure that your ie8 browser doesn't have Compatibility mode turned on.   There's the setting next to the toolbar, but another you have  to double check  under the Tools menu.

[Margarita Shamraeva]

I've checked - Compatibility View is off.
Still, the problem persists (on two computers with different OS from the Windows family and various builds of IE 8.0).

Hi Margarita, pleased to meet you. Please go to
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html and let me know what kind of
browser it thinks you have. Adam

Hi Adam,

It is my pleasure to meet you.

I am not sure how to correctly use the browser detector at the link you sent. Did you mean the value in the the underlined sentence on the screenshot attached? It says IE7 (albeit the version number in the About dialog says 8.0.7600.16385).

I also tried detecting the browser version/mode with the use of http://www.strictly-software.com/scripts/downloads/Browser.js from http://www.strictly-software.com/BrowserObject.asp, and it produced the following results:

UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0)
platform: Win32 - name: Internet Explorer
version: 7.0 - gecko: false
khtml: false - webkit: false
opera: false - ie: true
ieDocMode: 7 - windows: true
mac: false - linux: false
xml: false - jscript: true
javascript: false - flashEnabled: true
flashVersion: 10.22 - cssGradeA: true
anchorsEnabled: true - regexpEnabled: true
cookieEnabled: true - imagesEnabled: true
formsEnabled: true - linksEnabled: true
framesEnabled: true - javaEnabled: true
spoof: false - bot: false
widgeEditor: true - dom: 2
w3cDOM: true -

Hope this helps; however, if you need anything different from the above, please describe in further detail what kind of information you require.

Best regards,

Margarita Shamraeva

Thank you, Margarita. Any idea why these scripts are reporting that
you're using Internet explorer 7? Did someone make a setting On your
browser somewhere?

Hi Adam,

At some point in the past, I did install IE 7 Standalone on my computer over IE 8.0. Later, since IE7 proved to be incompatible with my OS, I had to uninstall it by rolling back a few Windows updates and restoring the system to the pre-installation state. I don't think there should be any traces of IE7 left in the system, but cannot tell for sure. In particular, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer registry key says the version number is 8.0.

To investigate the matter a bit further, I checked another PC with Windows Server 2003 + IE 8.0. For that machine, your link reported that the version of IE is 6 :) It has a grain of truth in the sense that IE 8 was installed over IE 6. Do you have any idea why this script might get the oldest version of IE ever installed on the computer, even if it was overwritten with a newer version and is not in use anymore?

Best regards,

Margarita Shamraeva

Hi Margarita,

Adam has found some additional  information about ie user agent string weirdness.  Can you please follow the instructions below?

Actually - it's probably a good idea to create a bug for this, and put the information there so we can use it to track any changes we make to fix this.

Janet

Okay, turns out there is some weird stuff with IE user agent strings
we may not be accounting for. See
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2009/01/09/the-internet-explorer-8-user-agent-string-updated-edition.aspx
and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd371735(VS.85).aspx for
reference.

Best idea is to ask her to provide her entire user agent string for
all of her configurations.

She can find her complete userAgent string
at the bottom of http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html .

It starts with "navigator.userAgent = ". For me, for example, it is
"navigator.userAgent = Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X
10_6_4; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Chrome/5.0.375.126 Safari/533.4"

If we have this string and there's *anything* in it that indicates the true browser version, we can patch
the google closure library version detection mechanism.

[Adam Duston]

Margarita, Please provide this for both machines you mentioned. Thank you. Adam
