Editing with IE9

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Has anyone else had any trouble editing a C5 website with IE9? I can't move blocks.

I'm downloading IE9 on my Virtual Windows 7 install so I can see if this can be recreated. Are you using the latest download of IE 9?

I have the same issue on two machines. I'm using IE Version 9.0.8112.16421 (32-bit and 64-bit) running Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 Ultimate.

This also occurs when moving/copying pages with or without children.
Windows 7 Home Premium NL + IE9 NL

However, there is a workaround.

Open the Developer Toolbar bij pressing F12. Change the document modus to Standard settings for IE8. Blocks and pages can now be moved.

Enjoy!

You can put the domain into compatibility view by clicking the icon iin the address bar to the left of refresh that looks like a page torn in half.

This will be quicker than loading the developers tools up and changing the modes.

It *might* also be worth adding:

<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=8">

To your theme's elements/header.php

This has the advantage of fixing any other odd rendering issues caused by IE9, not just edit mode.

If you need to fix this before the next version of C5 is released, I found a "hotfix" you can add to your theme's header to address this problem:
