Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge multiple issues

[vikramalva]

I get emails from Edge/Explorer users every once in a while, complaining that certain features do not work. Our Toolkit is not rendered properly on these browsers and I don't think we should try to make the Toolkit work on them. We should perhaps display a warning message when users try to use the Toolkit on these browsers.

[felixgabler]

I added a warning to the view on the print-handling branch. It might be a bit much since one cannot hide this warning yet. Should I add the possibility to hide it?

Furthermore I think we should actually at least investigate what parts of the site don't work. If it's not a lot of work, we could perhaps support Edge aswell.

[vikramalva]

I think we should offer a possibility to hide the warning. Some pages and buttons are not rendered properly as well as some feature like downloading files do not work.

[zy4]

Why not fix it for these browsers? A warning to switch browsers does not look good.

[vikramalva]

We could eventually make the Toolkit work properly on these browsers. There are a bunch of issues to be dealt with. @felixgabler may be you could take a look.

[vikramalva]

The message is not displayed on my IE browser.

[felixgabler]

I cannot find many problems on my Edge browser. Only one button which should be fixed now. Will look into the downloading thing next, but I would be glad if you could point me to some more issues with IE/Edge. If we could at least get Edge to work properly, that would be great.

The following image shows some of the issues I notice on my IE browser:

The left side, including the logo, is squashed. 'Upload file' has a background color.

[vikramalva]

For the download issue see these examples: https://toolkit.tuebingen.mpg.de/#/jobs/1971402 'Download PDB file'

https://toolkit.tuebingen.mpg.de/#/jobs/4335613 'Download MSA'

It is an HTML tag-related issue.

[vikramalva]

By the way, may be we should not show the warning message at all and just fix these issues one at a time. I am going to use and test the Toolkit on IE over the next days. In fixing these issues, we should make sure that we don't break the Toolkit on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.

[felixgabler]

Did you find more issues? I want to look at this some more later

Felix, do you know how to install VMWare Player on your machine? This is quite useful to have a Windows instance running.

[felixgabler]

I know how to, but then I would also need windows licences and everything. I can just test from home

I think for our purposes it might be even free.

[vikramalva]

I haven't found anything other obvious issues, but I have not gone through all the pages thoroughly.

[felixgabler]

Most issues should be fixed now. Please check the logo and the downloads especially.

[vikramalva]

Logo looks fine now and downloading works on some of the pages I tested. I, however, found some other new issues. I will try to post some of them tomorrow.

[vikramalva]

Some issues:

1) The ''FASTA Alignment'' view is broken on IE; this is used by many tools (e.g., all alignment tools, HHpred, HHblits)

[vikramalva]

2. Switching to Full-screen mode and then back to normal mode breaks the Results view of almost all tools.

[vikramalva]

3. Even after a job runs through, it is shown to be in the Queued state and I'm not taken to the Results page. The side pane shows the correct status color though.

[felixgabler]

The only thing I couldn't fix yet is issue 3. I cannot run jobs from home and don't have internet explorer at the mpi. I will have to push this back a bit.

[felixgabler]

Also this issue only exists on internet explorer and not on edge.

The second issue is not resolved on IE on my laptop.

[felixgabler]

Can you try again? I had to resort to implementing a hacky solution because IE does behave in a very weird way. I hope that it will go away when we rewrite it. We have to keep an eye on that

[vikramalva]

Still broken.

[felixgabler]

Can you tell me your user-agent?

[vikramalva]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko

[felixgabler]

Ok, it should detect it correctly. I increased the timeout even more. Can you check one last time.

[vikramalva]

Does not work on my browser. May be someone else should also check this on a different Windows machine.

[zy4]

@vikramalva try to raise the timeout even more and report us back whether this is the wrong approach at all

[zy4]

We could also try something with https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/API/window/requestAnimationFrame

[felixgabler]

Where would you use it?

instead of setTimeout

[felixgabler]

This shouldn't be an issue. The problem is that I can't figure out why the classes are removed.

I think this is a similar problem to what we had with the tooltips (there also classes were removed after the page loaded). Chances are that it works in IE when you reset before #161

[felixgabler]

I used a different approach this time. I would guess that it works now. @vikramalva can you check again?

[vikramalva]

@felixgabler works now!

[vikramalva]

I noticed another small issue on the Results page of HHpred, HHblit, PSI-BLAST; the toolbar is not aligned to the left as on other browsers.

[vikramalva]

On Chrome:

[felixgabler]

Should be fixed now. @vikramalva please check
