minicart problem in IE (OK in FF)
 

I have a problem with the minicart but only in IE, it works fine in FF and Chrome.

I want to show the number of items and the total order value.

So when (in IE) you enter the site the minicart says:-

basket is empty


So I buy an item, the mini cart is collapsed and says
view basket
checkout

I click on view basket, everything is there and click on continue shopping and the expanded basket in mini cart window shows no of items, order value as expected !

Buy another itemand the **&ing mini cart is collapsed and says
view basket
checkout

It's only a problem in IE, currently using IE9

Any ideas, anyone ?

David I think I've seen this before on a client's site. Never got around to investigating it thoroughly. Can you post a link to the site where it is happening?

You need to modify meta.tpl on your XC and change the meta for IE with

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />

I would call this a bug as QT has this fixed to IE8 even in the newest version. Your site currently shows Document Mode as IE8 even under IE9. With the above change it will always default to the one customer is using - in your case IE9. This should solve the problem

Steve,

Thanks for the reply. I changed (in meta.tpl in skin/common-files and skin/common-files/customer)

from

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

to

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />


cleared out IE temporary files and the problem remains. If I "view source" in IE I see

<metahttp-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"content="IE=8"/>


However, on another system with IE9 it works fine ! On the problem system if I hit F12 and change Doc ode to IE9 it works fine. So, could it be that there is another version of meta.tpl or that something else is setting it to IE8 ?

Weird !

I see the problem still in IE9, not in any other browsers though.

You need to clear the cart cache - cleanup.php - and also make sure you modified the correct meta.tpl - you may have another one in the skin you are using

Steve,

Cleared out everything and it looks OK now, thanks for your help. I totally forgot about the cache. IE = irritating experience !
