Title:

Flash forms do not render on IE 11

| View in Tracker

Status/Resolution/Reason: Closed/Won't Fix/NotWorthEffort

Reporter/Name(from Bugbase): Steven Springer / Steven Springer (Tiberius)

Created: 12/23/2013

Components: CFForm

Versions: 10.0

Failure Type: Non Functioning

Found In Build/Fixed In Build: Final /

Priority/Frequency: Critical / All users will encounter

Locale/System: English / Win All

Vote Count: 2

Problem Description: Since IE 11 no longer represents itself as "IE", instead using something like this: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko, flash forms no longer render with the <object> tag, but instead try the <embed> tag.  This fails.

Steps to Reproduce:  Look at a flash form in IE11.  To get it to appear, toggle the setting in the developer tool to run as IE 10.

Actual Result: Flash form is an empty box with an icon

Expected Result:  Flash form to work.

Any Workarounds: Need to change the browser to run as IE10 - not feasible for the internet at large.

Is it possible to make a change to an underlying bit of CF code that renders the forms so that it will recognize IE 11?

I am having the exact same issue in CF 9... Is there a work around or a bug fix that can be released?

Flash forms are deprecated in ColdFusion 11. There is no point fixing this for IE 11.
