    What does "the application is not working" mean, specifically?  Are you getting errors?  Are you getting different display results?

    In one area of the application uses CFlayout, CFlayoutarea, CFajaximport for producing tabs across the top of the page.

    Some individuals can see the tabs and others cannot.

    Thanks,

    Keep in mind that those features (CFLayout, CFLayoutArea) are based on the ExtJS library, and the version of the library embedded in ColdFusion is way out of date.  There are probably going to be issues with browsers that are applying more modern CSS/HTML5 standards (like Chrome and possibly newer releases of IE 10/11 patched by Windows Update).  Have you compared the IE build numbers between machines that "work" and those that don't?

    Also bear in mind that Microsoft has dropped support for IE 10 as of 1/12/16 (see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle#gp/Microsoft-Internet-Explorer), so unless you are running Windows Vista, you should upgrade all computers to IE 11.

      Have you tested with FireFox and/or Chrome?

      CF Server only generates HTML on-the-fly based upon instructions from the CF developer.  It's the same HTML for every browser. 

      If there are some that have issues, and some that do not, then the issue is most likely browser settings or network security settings.

      You don't mention if the users who report good and bad experiences are on the same network.  If it's a public-facing site and the users are all from different networks, then the issue is _very_ likely not CF Server.

      Just my two cents.

      V/r,

      The users go thry a portal to access the appliction.

      Should there be somthing like: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE10" /> on every page?

      I can access the site using FireFox.The site does not work with Chrome.

      The site has no issues with IE 8 or 9.

      Thanks,

      Mike

      Well, it would be best if every page had it so that every page would be forced to IE10 compatibility; but I suppose you _could_ use it only on the pages that are experiencing issues.  I'm one for consistency, though.

      HTH,

      ^_^
