My application works in IE only in debug mode (works in other browsers) [closed]

Question

In Internet Explorer (I tried 9 and 8) my application doesn't work in the normal mode. But when I get to debug mode (press F12), it works with some minor problems (which are irrelevant now).

This makes it impossible for me to debug my application, because in debug mode, it just starts working.

This is the application I developed.

What could be the solution?

need to know problem, before can find solution – Winonawinonah

the problem is that it doesn't work in Internet Explorer – Labiate

Well on that basis, then the solution is to not use Internet Explorer. My point is, you cant just give us a website link and expect us to test, debug and fix it for you. You need to try and identify the problem (check for javascript errors) and come back with a more specific problem – Winonawinonah

@Winonawinonah ok, I just want to have this first clue, I forgot the console.log issue with IE, I really tried for hours to figure it out, but as I said, when I get to debug mode it works, so this confuses me from know the real reason, thx anyway for your comment – Labiate

A life saver.. Maybe the question isn't constructed right, but it led me to the solution. – Elyssa

Answer 1

Do you use console.log in your script? In IE browsers console object exists in scope only in debug mode. Change your code to:

if (console) console.log('...')

EDIT: I've looked at your application and you are using console log.

+1 - but have generally found that if (variable) can be problematic, so tend to recommend using if typeof(variable) != "undefined" – Adaiha

thanks it worked fine, I will work on minor things now :) – Labiate

Thanks for pointing out the issue. I used if(window.console)... if(console) was not working. – Muntjac
