So why would it work on all other browsers but not Edge?

Think MS disallowed null JScript object creation?

Another interesting note is that it also works when the user agent string is set to Edge Win 10 Mobile. If I remember correctly, the implementations were supposed to be the same.

SexWarrior showed me something which seems to indicate that inline Javascript is being blocked by CORS policy. Naturally, this sounds too pants-on-head retarded even for Microsoft, but it would explain the symptoms observed. It would need to be done conditionally on the user agent setting, which is even more bizarre.

I doubt this will be a quick fix, so I probably won't get time to confirm or deny this hypothesis until at least the weekend.

To the administrators:

There may be some compatibility issues on this website but the response time is certainly better than the other FES website. From viewers like us. Thank You !

I figure this will all be solved when plugins are introduced. I imagine "Old JavaScript Compatability" will be near the top of whatever store there is for plugins.

[Pete Svarrior]

I would hope that this wouldn't *need* a plugin. Basic JS support should be a given in a browser that explicitly advertises how much it loves JS.

I'm monitoring the SMF 2.1 Beta repository and the SMF Support Forums for potential fixes. They're aware of the situation and they might have a solution (as per this post).

Unfortunately, they don't seem to specify what their proposed solution is, so we can't adopt it early. I suppose the good news is that it will be fixed eventually.

[Pete Svarrior]

After a bit of drama on the SMF forum, this should now be fixed. Please let me know if anyone observes any uncommon behaviour from the editor window after this change.

Note that in most cases the relevant script will have been cached by the browser. You may need to clear the cache to see it take effect.

Let's keep the thread open for now in case there's any feedback, but this should be safe to close in a few weeks.

It works! Good job guys.


Now if you can fix animated avatars and resizing of avatars ...

Your animated avatar is working.

Your animated avatar is working.

And that required much messing around and a loss of resolution when I shrunk it.

Mine worked fine the very first time I tried it.  Are you sure you are not complaining about Windows making it hard to make an animated avatar or something like that?  I am failing to see what you are complaining about this time.

The forum has bugs when uploading. The admins know ... it is just a pain to fix.

This thread can be closed. The original issue is solved.
