iD editor and internet explorer #677

Open pedrito1414 opened 9 years ago

pedrito1414 commented 9 years ago

Is there any way of displaying that choosing iD editor in the TM will NOT work with Internet Explorer. Seeing a lot of people give up because they can't open iD and it's not obvious why....

Is it because iD doesn't work in IE, or is it that Tasking Manager isn't able to open it?

pedrito1414 commented 9 years ago

Not sure - I don't have IE! My dad phoned as he was trying to get started. I'll find out...

It is my understanding that IE does not support the iD web editor.

When I try and use iD in IE 11 on Windows 7, OSM will automatically try and use Potlatch instead.

Yep, just ran a test with my dad. We bypassed the TM and tried to edit in IE and it still reverted to potlatch. So, I think it would be good if the TM tells people that iD won't work with IE, otherwise we'll lose people (and especially older people I would think).

On a side note, new Internet Explorer (called Edge - comes with Windows 10) apparently does open iD...
