P2 Theme- replies via AJAX don’t work in IE 7 or 8

  • Hello all. I’m getting an error message when I try to post a reply to a P2 installation my company is using from IE7 or IE8. A box pops up on clicking “submit” and it asks me if I’m sure I want to navigate away from this page. Editing comments works, and posting new posts works, but not posting replies. Works fine in every other browser.

    And before anyone says “don’t use IE”, there’s no choice- we’re using P2 as a workgroup/collaboration tool with a bunch of offices whose IT staff has decided to force everyone to use IE, and won’t let anyone install any other software.

    So anybody know why this might be happening?

  • I’ve noticed the same problems in IE. Toggle Comments is also broken in IE, works fine in all other browsers.

    It’s not acceptable to just blame the browser though. Very annoyed that these are apparently bugs that Automattic didn’t bother to fix.

    Any progress on the P2 – IE issues?

    For all those interested – looks like the latest version in the SVN contains fixes for the IE problems.

    Stupid question: is this the SVN? https://svn.automattic.com/wpcom-themes/p2/

    Do we know what files have the new IE fixes so that we can just put it into our current p2 theme?

    Replaced the p2.js file. Works fine for me now (IE7)

    Tried everything mentioned here to no avail. I really hope a fix comes soon, because P2 is great, and it is a big shame that IE users are not able to comment. The whole thing seems rather silly ??

    I am having problems with IE 8 (not sure of other version) submitting comments.
    The user is able to submit comment, it then appears in the user’s browser with the text ‘Your comment is awaiting moderation.’
    however, when I go into the admin – the comment has not actually been submitted.

    comments work fine in chrome, safari, & firefox (both pc and mac)

    i’ve no idea how to deal with this other than discovering a way to eradicate IE from the universe!! That would be ideal for many reasons, but…..

    replacing the p2.js file does nothing for me in IE7 or IE8.

    We’re having this problem, too (IE6, IE7, IE8), and replacing the p2.js file with the one from SVN doesn’t seem to fix it. Haven’t had a chance to try to track down the source of the problem, myself.

    any updates on this? Noel?

    Just confirming that I am also experiencing the bug in P2 v1.1.5 – unable to Toggle Comments in internet explorer. It seems to be broken for only IE8. When I switch IE8 Comparability Mode to IE7 – Toggle Comments works fine. For now I have just added the following code to my header.php to force IE7 compatibility mode.
