Question

Problems with IE9 - Checkboxes maybe?

I have an app that I wrote at least five years ago that has worked perfectly fine all this time.  I'm not even sure what version of CF I used at the time.  I've only just installed DreamWeaver CS5.5 on a new computer (the flooding from Irene destroyed my office), and I think prior to this I was using DreamWeaver MX.  It might be MX that I used to build this, but I'm not sure.  In any case, it works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but won't work in IE9 (it works in IE8). I can't even identify exactly where it's failing.  I suspect it's at the start of my action page where I'm seeing if the checkboxes are checked, and setting variables if they are.  It just fails immediately and doesn't give me a reasonable error.  Also because of all the flooding and moving of our office, I'm having testing server issues, so I can't just turn on debugging at this point to find the exact line that's failing (I'm trying to address that, as well).

Apparently I'm not allowed to just say to the few people who use this application "Just use Firefox instead of IE9" (I'm still pushing for that) because this is NOT a mission critical application by any stretch of the imagination.

Anyway, I was hoping someone might have a suggestion for something to tweak or a place to look or an idea for what needs to be done to just make the thing work on IE9.

We're thinking we might have to rewrite this in .net. *sigh*  I hate having to rewrite things that are so basic and have worked so well for so long, but I suppose that's just how it goes.

I think you need to describe a bit more about what the issue is. Maybe

copy/paste the nugget of the checkboxes from the form, and also the nugget

of code that processes it, so someone can actually help. Maybe a link to

the page?

Oh, ok... I just figured if there was a problem with IE9, folks might have heard of it. Unfortunately you can't get to the page directly, it's all inside our firewall and accessible only to our staff.  Here's the code in question (I changed an email address and server name for security reasons):

<!--- Check if form audience variables exist and set variables.formXXX to proper Access value. --->

<cfif IsDefined("form.ANR") is "True">

        <!--- If True, set value to Access Checked Value (1) --->

        <cfset variables.FormANR = 1>

<cfelse>

        <!--- If False, set value to Access Unchecked Value (0) --->

        <cfset variables.FormANR = 0>

</cfif>

<cfif IsDefined("form.DEC") is "True">

        <!--- If True, set value to Access Checked Value (1) --->

        <cfset variables.FormDEC = 1>

<cfelse>

        <!--- If False, set value to Access Unchecked Value (0) --->

        <cfset variables.FormDEC = 0>

</cfif>
