Browser compatibility issues

  • We have used this plugin for almost two years now and we have had numerous reports about it not working on various devices.

    I will list some of them here.

    When you hover your cursor over a post, the Reply/Edit etc row appears (div class “wpam-row-actions”). I suppose it is a jQuery effect to make it show/hide? The problem with this effect is that it is not working on all devices. Not all users provided their browser and respective versions, but for example, I can confirm that it does not work on Safari for iPad. I could make it work on Firefox for Android but it was a bit clumsy. So most touch screen devices are problematic, but there seem to be other browsers that is experiencing issues with this. I personally suspect Internet Explorer (the devil), like IE7 and IE8.

    Another issue we had a report about just recently. The user used browser Internet Explorer 9, and the OS was Windows 7.

    I will quote this user:

    When I click the “Reply” link, I get a text box. At the bottom, there are two buttons: “Submit Query” and “Cancel”. When I click the Submit Query button, it “depresses” but then nothing changes on the screen. Refreshing at that point re-loads the page with no text box or reply. Everything seems to work until that point.

    Just thought I would share this with you. If you ever have any interest to improve browse compatibility for this plugin, this would be a good area to start.

    The hover effect for the Reply/Edit-Rows is just CSS. So the fix should be simple:
    Add this line to wp-admin-microblog.css:
    .mobile .wpam-row-actions { visibility: visible; }

    If it works, it comes with the next version. ??

    To the IE9-Bug: I have no IE9 more, so I can just use third party apps. I see with IEtester that the scripts are not working under IE9 but under IE8 and IE10+. But I can’t really say why.

    Thanks for the CSS fix, I will give it a go and report back. Will iPads and other tablets use the “mobile” class? If so, then this should definitely work.

    Regarding the IE9 bug, yes, this is very strange. Can you find a way to access the error log? This way, we should determine what is going on. Alternatively, I suggest posting how you call your scripts (or the content of them) over to stackoverflow.com – there are some people that have great experience with IE that may spot the issue.
