Greetings, I'm developing an HTA application to track information at work and I've got a bit of a quandary. I can't seem to get an HTA to work in IE=10 Standards. I've scoured the internet and can't seem to find a resolution for this.
According to the compatibility seciont on the MSDN site you can just use an x-ua-compatible tag to set the document mode and it's true that I can, yet when I do, it kills off the hta tag's attributes and everything becomes undefined.
The reason I want IE=10 is it gives me all the formatting options I want
When I run a JS script that pulls the values, this is what comes up under IE=10
applicationName = undefined
border = undefined
id = Trackers
caption = undefined
icon = undefined
maximizeButton = undefined
scroll = undefined
selection = undefined
showInTaskBar = undefined
singleInstance = undefined
sysMenu = undefined
status = undefined
version = undefined
Document Mode = IE10
User Agent =
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; Trident/6.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Tablet PC 2.0; InfoPath.3)
And here's what it comes up with under IE=7
applicationName = trackersborder = thin
id = Trackers
caption = yes
icon = \\***/***/***.ico
maximizeButton = no
scroll = no
selection = yes
showInTaskBar = yes
singleInstance = yes
sysMenu = yes
status = yes
version = 1.0.0
Document Mode = IE7
User Agent =
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; Trident/6.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Tablet PC 2.0; InfoPath.3)
Here's the code I'm working with. It is nothing fancy and functions fine if I comment out the meta tag or set it to IE=7, but the second I put it back in, it stops functioning.
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10" /><title>Surface Trackers</title><hta:application applicationname="trackers" border="thin" icon="\\***/***/***.ico" caption="yes" id="Trackers" maximizeButton="no" scroll="no" selection="no" showintaskbar="yes" singleinstance="yes" status="yes" sysmenu="yes" version="1.0.0" />
