Oracle APEX 20.2 with IE 11

on

 


The IE 11 browser is planned for a Farwell by Microsoft on Aug 17,2021 and hence the latest patch version of APEX will not be functional in IE11 but all other browsers are working. So, there’s no need to support the legacy Internet Explorer 11 because it lacks many key features for modern-day requirements.

 This drawback was long ago sensed by the APEX team, so at first, they deprecated it, and now with the latest patch of it’s completely stopped.

 

Alternate Solution:


The implemented solution will alert user about the Microsoft Unsupportable Message AND automatically redirect the application accessibility onto the Chrome browser.


Use the following code in your HTML header  attribute on the home page of your application.

 

 <html>

<body>

<script>

 // Internet Explorer 6-11

var isIE = /*@cc_on!@*/false || !!document.documentMode;

if (isIE == true){

alert ("The IE11 browser is unsupported by Microsoft. Please access using any other browser.");

var url = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.hostname;

var ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

ws.Exec("c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe " + url);

}  

</script>

</body>

</html>
