Dear Support,

It has now been a MONTH since I described the issue I've encountered in a Sharepoint environment.  When I put together the test project, it took me 3 hours.  Granted, you may be less familiar with Sharepoint, and probably more busy, it would naturally take you longer.  But a month????  Can someone please tell me if they tested WebGrid 7 in Sharepoint 2010 in IE9 document standards. I'd be very happy to learn that I did something wrong and I need to re-check my setup, etc.  But please take the time to try out my scenario and tell me what you find.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

Dasha

Did anyone from intersoft try to reproduce the situation that i described? All you need to do is create a simple web part with a WebGrid, add some static data to it, and put it on a SharePoint 2010 wiki page.  When you force the ie Document Mode into Quirks, the page does not even load.  If I enforce Document Mode = IE9, then I loose all client side functionality for reasons that I already described: IE9 does not recognise the dot accessor for custom attributes.

Yesterday I tested the WebGrid in our environment and I'm sorry to say that the issue is still there.  The easiest way to reproduce what I'm seeing is to put a WebGrid in a Sharepoint 2010 web part.  Sharepoint 2010 turns on the compatibility mode by default, but if you F12 the page and enforce IE9 document standards, then the error becomes obvious.  I loose all client side functionality like sorting, grouping, context menu, ect.  From my investivation the problem lies in the javascript files when the code tries to access the gridId attribue by way of the dot operator (gridElement.gridId).  If I change the code to gridElement.GetAttribute('gridId'), then it works.  This does not only happen with the gridId attribute, but many others that are spread out all over the javascript files.  My concern is not the standard Sharepoint pages. As I said, the compatibility mode is turned on automatically and the user would not know what's happening.  We're planning to develop a series of templates on the Sharepoint platform that will take advantage of HTML5 which will require IE9 running in IE9 mode.  If the WebGrid is not working, then it's a huge problem for us.

Please let me know if you need more details on how to reproduce the issue.

Thank you,

Dasha.

Lili,

Our company has not upgraded your software in a long time.  This was due to a very high number of customizations and workarounds that we had to apply to the javascript every time we upgraded to the latest version.  We have voiced our problems many many times and reported all the issues, but not too many of them were addressed.  At one point the company decided that we will no longer upgrade to save time and resources.

When IE officially released, we encountered multiple issues with the WebGrid, which is not that surprising, considering we're using version 7.0.7200.400.  I then decided to visit your live demo to see if you guys have upgraded to accomodate IE9.  As I said, we would even be willing to renew our licence if the controls worked.  I'm attaching a screenshot of what I saw.  Not only was I not able to navigate the examples because the tree view on te left isn't working, but the grid looked copletely broken.  None of the client side functionality like sort column or context menu is working as well.

Did I do something wrong? Or is there an outdated version running in the live demo?

Yudi, thank you for your reply.

Maybe there's a js workaround that I can apply?
