IE9

Lawson doesn't support IE9 until (I believe) LSF9.0.1.8 .. We tried IE9 with our 9.0.1.7 code, and the bottom left messages "Change Complete. Continue" etc. do NOT appear. This is apparently a big issue for some folks. You'll notice some buttons/labels appear differently too. Print Manager, esp.. the buttons will be prefaced by "lbl" ...

Everything seems to still work correctly, just odd differences. The two issues I describe are some of the biggest that we've noticed.

Both of these issues can be overcome by changing the browser settings.

John: Can I ask you to elaborate? I've followed Lawson KB article on how they want the settings. Even opened a call with GSC, and they were unable to help get IE9 functional.

Note: Updating our test environment to LSF 9.0.1.9 fixed the IE9 issues without any changes to browser settings - beyond the Lawson recommendations. (*We just need to get 9019 in prod)

Change Internet Options
Make sure the Lawson site is in the “trusted sites” for the browser.

For IE7 and higher, there is a browser setting ("Allow status bar updates via script") you need to change.

For the "lbl" issue, one solution I have found that works is to add a "X-UA-Compatible" host header (via the web server) that forces downgrade in compatibility mode to IE8.

For the "lbl" issue, I can see that working. With pre9018 LSF code, though even though we had the lawson site in the trusted list and changed the setting to allow status bar updates via script set, IE9 wouldn't display the messages.

I *think* but can't swear that I had it working with 9.0.1.5 as long as we used compatibility mode.

Thanks for the info John & Greg. I don't have much control over the upgrade schedule but I can definitely pass along the concerns.

I was having the issue of the messages not displaying.  I contacted Lawson Support.  They suggested KB #550047.  I verified all three tasks.  The last task, verify Status Bar enable in Internet Explorer, the status bar showed - it worked.
