IE9 - Problem with javascript

[lukasamd]

Hello,
I have IE9 on Win7 x64 PRO SP1.

I have a problem with javascript on a lot of websites - it doesn't work on normal browse, but when I refresh page (CTRL+F5) everything is ok.

I checked this in developter tools, and there are many communicates like this one:

SCRIPT: Permission denied

I tried to reset all settings to defaults, remove all addons but nothing helps :|

You could try an IE9 repair :

Maybe check that you have the latest Java update :

Thanks, but.. I tried fix - without result.
I reinstalled IE - still without result.
I disable all EMET options (and DEP manually) - still without result.

Hm... any ideas?

Some information here, but involves the registry.

Proceed with caution and ensure that you backup your registry before attempting any changes :

I think it isn't the problem - on IE8 everything works fine.

There are some interesting points here :
Release Notes

The following may be relevant to your porblem:

Changes in JavaScript Support in Internet Explorer 9
The Chakra JavaScript engine provides support for the ECMAScript Fifth Edition standard and improved script performance. As a result of these changes, and due to our intent to support the same script and same markup across browsers, certain JavaScript features behave differently in or are not supported by Internet Explorer 9. For a list of feature changes and guidance on how to update your web sites, see the Internet Explorer 9 Compatibility Cookbook and the blog post Enhanced Scripting in IE9: ECMAScript 5 Support and More

It seems to me. very early days in IE9's development, so there will inevitably be issues to be resolved - mostly by MS. Perhaps you should revert back to IE9 to avoid the present dilemma.

I think it isn't problem too

I made tests on my site (I use jQuery in newest version, compatible with IE9):
- when I open page first time, everything is ok
- when I open subpage JS doesn't work (Permission Denied in scripts monitor)
- when I reload subpage using CTRL+F5, JS works fine, without any problem
- when I back to main page and open subpage again, JS doesn't work again

So it looks like on each page...
On IE8, Firefox 3/4, Chromium 12 and Opera 11 everything is ok.

Maybe someone else will have some ideas.

At least you have alternatives which work for you.

 

[lukasamd]

Yes, of course. I'm a web designer and I use Firefox usual, but I recommend householders IE9 - I thing it's very good browser for normal user.

FWIW (and for those who may be eavesdropping on this discussion), make sure you are trying to repair the correct issue, Java or Java Script: Java vs. JavaScript

This problem concerns javascript, I wrote that I use jQuery.

I addded to site code:

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

and the problem disappeared.

I addded to site code:

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

and the problem disappeared.

I'm having the exact same problem, but this fix didn't work.

I concede though that I am in the midst of writing a new site, so at first, I thought the problem was only with my coding. I haven't confirmed if the problem is mine or IE9 yet.

Usually I work under Chrome and all my buttons function fine. At first, I had a problem because I had never added multiple buttons to a single page before, so when I first added a second button to the page, I realized the problem was that my buttons weren't unique. Spent a week figuring that out and now all my new pages work fine on Chrome, each button having a unique id (but the same class).

Then I got a new computer this week, Windows 7 Home 64 bit with IE9, Dell. So I tested my site using IE9. On the page where I have only one button, it works fine. On the page where I have multiple buttons, although they are unique, they aren't being recognized by IE9. I click and nothing happens. Yet it works fine under Chrome.

At least that's my interpretation of the problem right now. Maybe somebody else knows more...

I am using a line similar to this:

<a id="_post_btt_109" class="button" href="javascript:void(0)">Post It!</a>

Is the void cancelling the action in IE9??

I have found IE9 to be very finicky about where your JavaScript resides in your page. Try moving your JavaScript to the bottom of your code and see if that helps, especially in the case where a script does not work when a page is first loaded, but then it does work after a refresh.
