Hi Maya,. Let me explain my problem. We needed this addition because otherwise it never used to display the Enjoy transactions like ME21N properly. Now that the IE is upgraded to 11, we have all the kinds of issues. The screen does not respond some time, many times it just locks in the screen where we enter the Header Text or when we add attachments. Please suggest if I need to try anything else.
You might also want to refer to SAP note for a fix for the standards mode issue within the Enterprise Portal system. That note interestingly enough has a link to this blog included in it.
We use NW 7. Creating the news happens inplace the portal. I just wanted to say that this blog Othervis in normal screen showing alle value in cell. Our customer can not see alle the information when they using Laptop. Wonderful blog. I have an issue where in while accessing transactions iviews in IE 11 we are getting blank page. My portal version is 7.
However it didn't resolve my issue. As a fall back, in case some content would not like this, I have added the portal alias attention it's not a quicklink! Skip to Content. Former Member. September 3, 8 minute read. Then IE with standards mode arrived and evolved and the portal had to deal with rendering issues… 2. IE8 presents standards mode Problem IE8 and above presented standards mode rendering.
Solution Enforce IE to run the portal in quirks mode by changing the document mode. And peace is restored… 3. Solution Run standards-mode applications in a separate window which opens in standards mode. And the smile is back… 4. Solution Enforce IE11 to render the newly-opened page in the correct rendering mode. More Details Note: — Open navigation mode 1 new window rendering mode according to the parent window rendering mode This note has a few side effects which were fixed in the following notes: — Navigation mode 10 openes in quirks instead of standards — JavaScript error when navigating to new window — JavaScript error on opening a new window from iView, which was opened in a separate window And again: 6.
IE11 presents itself as Mozilla Problem According to Microsoft documentation , the IE11 user agent string was changed to be compatible with modern browsers.
Solution Familiarize the portal with the new user agent string as an IE11 user agent. Solution Enforce the application to run in quirks mode. Solution Add the meta-tag for document mode indication either standard or quirks in the head of the iView HTML How: The correct value will be detected by a new property on the iView, which indicates whether the iView should be running and quirks mode or standard mode.

Hi Jonathan, Thank you for the feedback! Great Blog Maya! Martin Fischer. Fabio Sarmento. Thanks Maia. Joao Sousa. Thank you guys for all the feedbacks! Sigiswald Madou. Hi Maya, This is really a great blog. I especially like the overview of the SAP notes. Hi Sigiswald, I agree with what you say standards is the way we are going We must remember, as you say, that we still have many "legacy" application to host in the portal, alongside with the new content UI5, etc HTH, Ido.
Hi Sigiswald, Quirks mode I am pretty sure a lot of applications will move to the standards mode as well, but in the meantime just do the following: launch the - quirks mode - application in a new browserwindow without the framework.
Problem solved! Matt Fraser. Best regards, Matt. Lorraine Fitzpatrick. Great blog Maya, its very helpful and clear. Troy Cronin. Great overview and insight provided Maya. Very Informative blog Maya. Fantastic blog and job! Hi Maya, Thanks for your blog, very nice explained.
Since I have been struggling around with browser modes as well, there is some additional information: - IE8 standards mode is not really the standards mode you are looking for - IE8 supports CSS2. Hi Maya, Thanks a lot for the blog, its a life saver. Very well explained, thanks a ton. Best Regards, Ankit. Vinod Patil. Nice blog with good use smileys! Excelente trabajo! Thomas Hensel. Regards, Thomas. Thanks Thomas for this helpful Link too.
When logging into this scenario ESS , we get the message pop up: "Use the device standards in your application - otherwise the application will not work correctly or visualization errors may occur" Then my browser freezes up.
If I enable compatibility view for the site or whole intranet , the error doesn't occur. Hi, Your issue seems to be related to the last issue described in this blog Standard mode WD applications. The application on the other hand — requires standard mode rendering.
This will make the application fit to the quirks mode of the Portal and the application will be able to run in-place in Portal. Ravi Maheshwari. Hi Maya, In the past, I had faced the same problem with Standard and quirks mode. Joyce Billquist. Maya, I am also very confused. Robert Batliner. Would be great if you could share your solution. Kind regards Robert. Robert, We had to make several changes to resolve the "standards mode" popup.
Add "Target App. The meaning and use of this icon, as well as the compatibility mode selection in the Page menu of IE 8, is obscure. According to tooltip and help texts, clicking on the icon toggles between compatibility mode and normal mode. However, contrary to what we might expect, this is not at all the same as switching between Quirks Mode and Standards Mode. Some features of rendering may be affected, but crucial issues such as box model are unaffected; they are based on the doctype declaration.
IE 9 has seven different rendering modes, with different intermediate modes between Quirks Mode and Standards Mode.
This means that things may go badly wrong on very old-style pages that relied on old quirks and IE-specific features like the expression construct in CSS. The way to get the old IE Quirks Mode is to use the following tag:. In Quirks Mode, browsers have been observed to behave in the following ways, though not all browsers exhibit all of these features :.
Quirks Mode. Standards Mode. Date of creation: Last modified Doing so will also guarantee optimal rendering in Mozilla, Opera and Internet Explorer for Macintosh. Of course, each of these browsers has its own minor quirks or legitimate differences of interpretation, so testing your site in all of them is still mandatory.
This situation is unlikely to change anytime soon, so for now, web developers have to work around these problems. This article gives some practical hints on how to create standards-conforming websites, and to work around some of issues that will arise for Explorer for Windows.
When you validate your pages, they check your code against the syntax that you claim to follow. If the markup fails to meet the standard, it gives you error messages.
In addition,most browsers have implemented doctype switching. In general, you should opt for Strict Mode. A useful table from the Helsinki University of Technology tells you how the modern browsers interpret doctypes and allows you to select a cross-browser one. See also the A List Apart article Fixing your site with the right doctype. To fully understand the differences between Strict and Quirks Mode, study the documentation pages:.
Safari follows Mozilla. Which flavor do you feel comfortable with? Strict or Transitional? If you want the very strictest implementation, opt for a Strict flavor. If you want to give yourself some more leeway, choose Transitional. If you use frames, you must use the Frameset variant. On the other hand it allows for more tags and attributes than its Strict brother, so it's easier to implement.
Most web site templates perform page layout by using a few blocks of content, for instance a header, a left column with the navigation, a right column with the main content, and a footer, as shown below:.
Any attempt to code this page must start by roughly positioning these four blocks of content. Style details can wait; first you should make sure that the content blocks are aligned correctly in all browsers on all resolutions.
There are two ways to do this: pure CSS and minimal tables. Although pure CSS is the best choice overall, it has its problems. Generally speaking it's difficult to obtain proper horizontal alignment in CSS. Horizontal alignment wholly depends on the float declaration, which, though supported by all modern browsers, is supported according to two different models , with minor variations even between browsers that support the same model. These problems aren't unsolvable; coding a simple four-block layout with the float declaration is quite possible.
Nonetheless the danger of insolvable browser incompatibilities increases exponentially with every floating block you add. Another common problem with CSS is ensuring a proper page footer.
On long pages that use more space than the window height, the footer should appear directly below the navigation and content blocks. That's very easy to code. Ensuring that the footer works properly on both long and short pages is a common cause of CSS headache.
Tables neatly solve these two problems. Correct horizontal alignment has been the most important advantage of tables ever since Mosaic. If the visual design of your web site requires complex horizontal alignment or a reliable page footer, minimal tables could help you evade complex browser incompatibilities. Don't start using those tables right away, though.
First try to create a cross-browser pure CSS page, and don't be shy to ask for help from css-discuss. Even if your CSS experiment turns out not to work, you will have acquired valuable experience. If you've honestly tried to use CSS but encountered serious browser incompatibilities in the rough positioning of the content blocks, you should switch to minimal tables. In the bad old days web developers placed all page elements in tables, and if the page didn't look as expected it needed yet more tables inside the already existing tables.
This process was repeated until the page worked. Fortunately this coding style is on the way out. Nonetheless, as we've seen, tables still offer a few advantages over pure CSS.
Minimal tables are the perfect compromise. They allow you to use the advantages of both without bloating your code much. Minimal table use means: use as little tables as possible. To obtain our simple four-block layout, the following code is all you need:. This minimal table does a fine job of roughly positioning the four content blocks. You have created a framework that solves some tricky problems for you and gives you free rein to fill in all the other details of your design by CSS.
You don't need any more tables than this one. For instance, browsers see a width declaration on a TD as a sort of advice, and they don't hesitate to overrule it when they think it's necessary. They will always obey width declarations on DIVs, though. The only exception is the vertical-align , which must be declared on a TD. The best way to start coding a new website is to make a rough sketch on paper. It's highly unlikely that you'll solve all, or even most, problems by this rough sketch, but creating it forces you to think logically and to define the rough outlines of your code.
