[Users] IE 9 problem with checkboxes in layer selector

Wed Sep 28 23:52:05 CEST 2011

Thanks Andreas and Peter. But neither fixed the problem. I had also tried
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
and
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

All to the same effect. I also tried
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
Which I had in there from the start of this problem.

I checked 'view source', reloading etc, but still have the same problem. 
Isn't it weird? I had put IE=edge in there before to fix another 
IE-problem. There are so many IE hacks in this application now... I wish 
I could just put a page in that says that IE is not supported and people 
should download a proper browser, but that is unfortunately not an 
option. Politics...

The "good" news is that our company is still using IE 7 and 8 and this 
problem is not so bad yet. But this problem was reported by an IE 9 
user, so there are people using it.

Any ideas? Because the problem does not happen with the GeoExt examples, 
so I suspect it's somewhere in my code. I might poke around a bit more.

Thanks for any input.
