Custom Screen browser version

Does anyone know if there are browser version changes in v12.5 for the custom screens? Do we still need to use IE 8 or are more recent versions now supported?

  • Hi Michele,
    The limitation you're referring to is the nature of the .NET WebBrowser control that we utilize to display web-based content within the application.  This has not changed in 12.5 at all. 

    The frustration here, of course, is that this control renders pages in an IE7 standard by default.  There are a couple of ways of working around this:

    1.  Add a compatibility meta tag to the page:

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

    2. Use the FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION registry key.  On a 64-bit OS, this should be found in KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

    and here is the list of values for different browser versions to emulate:

    You can create another URL-based custom tab for testing that goes to whatsmyuseragent.com to confirm whether or not the change has taken effect and what the current emulation level is of the built-in browser control.
