Error in anime.min.js on IE11

Hi Peter,

I was actually expecting something worse when you mentioned IE11 because Kioken Blocks has no support for IE11 whatsoever, other than some styling fixes. Due to the modern methods KB is built with, IE11 can’t handle any of them and I chose to rather spend my time working on adding new blocks, improving the KB further instead of spending days of work just to support IE11 and loads of extra resources and lines of code to the source code for the sake of it.

Unfortunately I have nothing right now, since the issue is as you mentioned is derived from the library itself.

Sorry :/

Hi and thanks for the quick response!

I understand your position, however IE11 is kinda current – it is still included in Windows 10. Although it is being replaced by Edge, it’s EOL isn’t for another couple of years, and you know what corporations are like for not updating their systems!!

I know there’s not much you could do as it’s a 3rd party library, but perhaps you could add your voice to that issue on github?

Cheers

Hi Peter,

Absolutely. I’ll see what I can do about it with following up on the issue with the developer.

Kioken Blocks used to use GSAP which was more reliable but then we bumped into licensing issue with WordPress rules, so had to switch to Anime.js.

I hope I’ll have better news on this soon.

Thank you!

Thanks ??

In the meantime, do you have a way of killing anime just on IE11?

Hi Peter,

Haven’t tested, but the following snippet should do it.

Let me know.

Thanks!
Onur

function kioken_dequeue_anime() {

  $ua = htmlentities($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

  if (preg_match('~MSIE|Internet Explorer~i', $ua) || (strpos($ua, 'Trident/7.0') !== false && strpos($ua, 'rv:11.0') !== false)) {
      // do stuff for IE
      wp_dequeue_script( 'anime-js' );
  }
}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'kioken_dequeue_anime', 100 );

Unfortunately anime-js is required by scrollmagic-js, anime-scrollmagic-js & kioken-blocks-frontend-utils and dequeueing those basically borks the whole page!!

Never mind, thanks.

Hi Peter,

Sorry that I couldn’t help more on the matter right now :/

Thanks,
Onur
