This article describes an update for Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 Version 1511 RTM. About this update. This update provides some Enterprise Mode improvements, which are described in Continuing to make it easier for Enterprise customers to upgrade to Internet Explorer 11 — and Windows 10.These include the following. IE mode is a enterprise-only feature. Only the admin controls whether a site ends up in IE mode or not (this is key to the security model). Administrators of Enterprise machines can check out the official IE Mode guide on the Microsoft Docs website. Note that IE Mode is only available on Windows 10 devices running at least Windows 10 version 1809.

Customers who visit older University applications or websites may need to run them in Enterprise Mode for Windows.

What is Enterprise Mode:
Enterprise Mode, a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 Update, Windows 7 devices, and Windows 10, lets websites render using a modified browser configuration that’s designed to emulate either Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8, avoiding the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer.


Applicable Use:

Enterprise Mode allows IT Professionals to target specific websites that may need to run with certain compatibility mode setting. These websites can be defined in a Site List file that contains the compatibility mode settings that are specific for each website. This allows only the specified websites to run in Enterprise Mode.
The following University Enterprise Applications require this feature:
Travel Expense Management (travelexpense.admin.uillinois.edu)
Tracker Electronic i9 (uillinois.trackeri9.com)
Upside Contract (upside.apps.uillinois.edu)
Illinois Contract System (contracts.apps.uillinois.edu)

NOTE: Approximately 65 seconds after Internet Explorer 11 starts, it looks for a properly formatted site list. If a new site list if found, with a different version number than the active list, IE11 loads and uses the newer version. After the initial check, IE11 won’t look for an updated list again until you restart the browser. After the list is downloaded, it's stored locally on your employee’s computers so if the centralized file location is unavailable, they can still use Enterprise Mode.

NOTE: Enterprise Mode XML SiteList schema v.1 supports Windows 7, 8.1, and 10. Enterprise Mode XML SiteList schema v.2 only supports Windows 10.

With each release of Internet Explorer since IE 4 we have worked hard to make sure that ScriptX not only retains full compatibility but also takes advantage of new features; for example the introduction of print templates in IE 5.5 or the introduction of scale to fit printing in IE 7.

A new release of Internet Explorer has often required a new release of ScriptX to ensure fully correct behaviour but it has never been the case that you could not update your browser because there was no available version of ScriptX to work with the new browser.

During our years of working with Internet Explorer the worst release from our point of view has been IE8. Don't get us wrong, here at MeadCo we have always liked Internet Explorer and have always enjoyed working with the IE team - though that has led to some robust exchanges at times! So 'worst' does not to us mean 'of a bad bunch' but the worst of a long line of excellent browsers that provide us with an ability to offer remarkable levels of control over the printing process. The particular problem of IE 8 is what we like to call 'blank page syndrome'.

The IE 8 Problem

'Blank page syndrome' (BPS) only occurs in IE 8; it does not occur with any other IE release. As a user of ScriptX you won't know about it unless you are one of the unlucky ones who has been unknowingly afflicted and you upgrade your browser and find that printing is now faster.

BPS is a randomly intermitttent fault that when it strikes means that a few, or many, attempts have to be made to print a page; eventually the page appears but in worst case scenarious it takes a noticable time for the print to complete.

The solution

A solution is to upgrade to IE 9 or later but for many customers this is not an option. We are aware that for a number of very valid reasons many customers decide to, or have to, standardise on IE8, even when migrating an organisation to Windows 7 or even Windows 8.1.

We strongly recommend you take a look at the Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer 11 - it works like IE 8 but it isn't and doesn't have BPS.

To re-iterate, there is no need to require a specific version of IE for a LOB web application because of ScriptX - ScriptX will work with all versions of IE in all document modes but there may well be other factors that have mandated IE 8.

Many compatibilty issues are known to be only partially resolved by compatibility mode available in previous versions of IE. It is hoped and anticipated by Microsoft that Enterprise Mode for IE 11 will resolve these remaining issues and so allow an enterprise to deploy Internet Explorer 11 and maintain compatibilty with older applications.

ScriptX works with Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer 11. Lastest versions of ScriptX maintain support for old versions of the browser so if you have several applications with different levels of browser compatibility, install the latest ScriptX and you will be good to go with all of them.
