Hi,

 

This is Danio Zhu from Autodesk, we recently found that the deployJava.js doesn’t work in IE11 (the default browser released with win8.1).

 

After looking into the code, we suspect it’s caused by the code below highlighted, because IE11 user-Agent string doesn’t contain the token “msie” anymore.

 

getBrowser:function(){if(this.browserName==null){var o=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();g("[getBrowser()] navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase() -> "+o);if((o.indexOf("msie")!=-1)&&(o.indexOf("opera")==-1)){this.browserName="MSIE";this.browserName2="MSIE"}

 

Could you help fix this issue ASAP? We are using this JS library to detect java version and run java applet on our web page.

 

Thanks,

Danio
