I come to find out that everyone using any version of IE gets failures when leaving comments to blog posts on our site. Everything works find with FF or Chrome. Is this a known bug that has a fix? I didn’t find anything with a search.
My comment module is 2.2 if that makes a difference.

Apparently this has been going on for years and we never knew it. Some members are just now saying that IE has always given errors when commenting on posts.

Hi Matt76,
What version of ExpressionEngine are you using here? Can you show me your comment form template code?
I’ll try to replicate once I have that info!
Thanks,

I am running 2.4.0.
I found the comment module and it has three different .php files in it. Which one do you want to see.
mcp.comment
mod.comment
upd.comment

Hi Matt,
Thanks for that, but I think there is some miscommunication here. I do apologize for that!
What I need to see is the ExpressionEngine tags you are using on the templates that have the comment form.
The code would look similar to this:
{exp:comment:form channel="news" preview="channel/preview"}
{if logged_out}
<label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" value="{name}" size="50" /><br >
<label for="email">Email:</label> <input type="text" name="email" value="{email}" size="50" /><br >
<label for="location">Location:</label> <input type="text" name="location" value="{location}" size="50" /><br >
<label for="url">URL:</label> <input type="text" name="url" value="{url}" size="50" /><br >
{/if}
<label for="comment">Comment:</label>
<textarea name="comment" cols="70" rows="10">{comment}</textarea>
<label><input type="checkbox" name="save_info" value="yes" {save_info} /> Remember my personal information</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" name="notify_me" value="yes" {notify_me} /> Notify me of follow-up comments?</label>
{if captcha}
<label for="captcha">Please enter the word you see in the image below:</label>
{captcha}
<input type="text" name="captcha" value="{captcha_word}" maxlength="20" /></p>
{/if}
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
<input type="submit" name="preview" value="Preview" />

ok. I hope these are it. They are the snippets. I have a feeling you are still talking about something else. You may have to tell me exactly where to find it.

Hey Matt76,
I am not seeing anything wrong with the forms.
What version of IE are you seeing this in?
Would you be able to share a link so I can see how the page renders?
Thank you,
#8 / Oct 08, 2012 3:27pm
We are running 2.4.0.
This has been happening for a long time. Even on previous versions.
#9 / Oct 08, 2012 3:30pm
Hello Matt76,
Version of IE, not ExpressionEngine.
Thanks!
#10 / Oct 08, 2012 3:32pm
Sorry, I get the error on 8 and 9 as well as others. Like I said, its been going on for long time. One member said since we started a couple years ago.

Hello Matt,
Please be on the lookout for an email from EllisLab.
Cheers,

Having issues with the backgrounds on some pages not showing up in chrome and IE now also. Everything still works fine in firefox. This issue developed recently. The commenting issue still isn’t fixed.

Hi Matt,
Looks like we have you in email still. Following up over there it seems that Robin sorted out the Commenting issue.
For the time being, keep working with us via email so as not get confused on where we can best help you.
Once we have everything sorted, we will follow up here with the solution.
Thanks!
