Crash in jxq.data.export v3.8.0 / ie8

[tforgeardParticipant]

Hi,
Not sure it’s the right place for this, but I have encountered a crash on ie8 in jqx.data.export (3.8.0) line 4324.
th line says:
, save_link = doc.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml", "a")

The reason seems to be is that doc.createElementNS is not supported by ie8.
Can we expect a fix?
Thanks

Hi tforgeard,

Would you provide a sample which demonstrates such behavior? You can prepare it using https://www.jseditor.io/

Thanks for your quick answer.
The crash occurs when including jqx.data.export.js in our application.
I’ll try to reproduce it in a separate app and come back to you ASAP.
FYI, previous versions of the file did not use createElementNS.
Best regards,
Alain

Hi Alain,

The current version of the file does not use it, too. Only if you use the New PDF export, this will be used.

Hi,
I tested on a genuine ie8 AND on an emulated ie8 on ie10.
Just create a simple html page and add the followings:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../Libraries/jqwidgets3.8.0/styles/jqx.base.css" type="text/css"/>
    <script src="../../Libraries/jQuery/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../Libraries/jqwidgets3.8.0/jqx-all.js"></script>

You will get the following message:
L’objet ne gère pas la propriété ou la méthode « createElementNS »
Which means something like “object does not handle the property or method « createElementNS »”
Do you need more info?

Hi tforgeard,

Click continue in your browser and it would be fine or add try/catch.

Hi,
Unfortunately, I can’t put a <script> tag in a try catch…
We have many customers using ie8 and I can’t tell them that the issue is a ‘normal’ situation.

Hi tforgeard,

Then step back and use the previous version if that is a big issue for you. We will take a look into this for the next update, when it comes.
