I am trying to understand WTF is going with Internet Explore 9, this no mean feat in itself. I thought the problem was due to browser comparability issues but now I am unsure.

On the staging server I have set the header to Header set X-UA-Compatible: IE=Edge, but it is having no effect.

For example, If I reset the browser, and then open the URL:

http://www.45sound.com/shows/259-heathers-trinity-college-dublin-18-9-2012

Clicking on the timeline, does not move the nob or change the video.

HOWEVER, If I open developer tools, clicking F12, then close it, without reloading the page, it works perfectly...

Is this a loading issue, does anyone know what is going on? I am unsure why this action has an effect on the javascript.

Any help at all would be really great.

  • Do you have `console.log` statements in your code? Afaik in IE you need to open the devtools to create the `console` object – Bergi Nov 10 '12 at 12:05

  • If you enable _Display a notification about every script error_ in _Internet Options_ -> _Advanced_ you find out quicker about such errors. The downside is that you then will be notified about every developer's script errors on any website... – Daniel Calliess Nov 10 '12 at 12:11
  • Cool, thanks guys. @Bergi, if you put than in as an answer I will accept it. Really saved me, thought I was going mental.... – slotishtype Nov 10 '12 at 12:25

Sounds like your code has problems with the weird implementation of the console object in IE - it does create the object only if the devtools are open. See also
