Hi guys,

 

everything is going great with the plugin, really really fantastic stuff! 

 

I do have one question, as IE is just a bugger.. 

 

What I have, is an external script loading from my server, that contains the JS for my GSAP animation. That works fine, and looks great. 

 

What I have no idea about, is how to make it so if the browser that the site is viewed in is Internet Explorer 10, how can I stop my animation script from loading, or is there some JS I can put within my rotation animation script to stop it from running if the browser is IE10?

 

Hopefully you guys can help as I've been stumped on this one for a while now. :)

 

you all rock!

 

 

Thank you!

Hello c0d3n4m3, and Welcome to the GreenSock Forums!

You can check out my anwser on StackOverflow:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7690676/javascript-the-best-way-to-detect-ie/20201467#20201467

Checks if browser is IE - IE8, IE9, IE10, IE11. You can check for document.documentMode

var hasDocumentMode = (document.documentMode !== undefined),     
    isIE10 = (document.documentMode === 10);

// browser is IE
if(hasDocumentMode) {     
    if(isIE10){         
       // browser is IE10    
    } 
}

You can basically use this to check if the browser is IE10, than if so.. then dont run your code.

If possible you can also setup a codepen example so we can see your code in action.

Here is a video tut by GreenSock on How to create a demo codepen example.

Hope this helps! :)

Yeah since he mentioned rotation I'm assuming that the issue could be that.

 

Completely off topic but... who the heck is the dude in your avatar??!!. The guy's eyes are freaking me out a little  :?

 

if my memory doesn't fails is an actor from a really old movie, right?

Brilliant, thanks guys for your help! 

 

The reason I'm after the recognising of IE10, is because I'm trying to make my "rotator.js" GSAP script, not load if the browser is IE10, funnily enough, because of lack of support for the preserve-3d rule.

 

I've managed to sort the preserve-3d issue out using the IE10 preserve 3D workaround, not the best, but it works for now.

 

I'm coming up with an issue with your script snippet, it's saying this:

 

"Uncaught ReferenceError: isDocumentMode is not defined"

 

Any thoughts guys? :)

 

I've put the snippet with the <head> tags within a <script> tag, and that had the same error, and I also put the snippet within my rotator script. Both above and below the Tweenmax code, and that gave the error also.

 

Where can I place this snippet?

   	var hasDocumentMode = (document.documentMode !== undefined),
   	    isIE10 = (isDocumentMode === 10);

   	// browser is IE
   	if(hasDocumentMode) {
   	     if(isIE10){
   	         // browser is IE10
   	     }
   	}

This is my rotator.js:

 

window.onload = function(){

    var logo = document.getElementById("main_flip");

    var myTimeline = new TimelineMax({repeat:-1, yoyo:true, repeatDelay:6});
    myTimeline.append( new TweenMax.to(logo, 30, {ease:Elastic.easeInOut, css:{rotationY:1260}}) );
   	myTimeline.append( new TweenMax.to(logo, 30, {delay: 6, ease:Elastic.easeInOut, css:{rotationY:0}}) );

}

I'm SORRY c0d3n4m3.. when I pasted the code above I had a variable typo.. my bad.. it is hasDocumentMode not isDocumentMode ..

var hasDocumentMode = (document.documentMode !== undefined),     
    isIE10 = (hasDocumentMode === 10);

// browser is IE
if(hasDocumentMode) {     
    if(isIE10){         
       // browser is IE10    
    } 
}

sorry about that :)

Hehe, that's OK, it's working now, but I cannot seem to get the animation to kill(); when viewing in IE10. Here is my snippet now:

window.onload = function(){

    var hasDocumentMode = (document.documentMode !== undefined),
	    isIE10 = (hasDocumentMode === 10);
    var logo = document.getElementById("main_flip");

    var myTimeline = new TimelineMax({repeat:-1, yoyo:true, repeatDelay:6});
    myTimeline.append( new TweenMax.to(logo, 30, {ease:Elastic.easeInOut, css:{rotationY:1260}}) );
   	myTimeline.append( new TweenMax.to(logo, 30, {delay: 6, ease:Elastic.easeInOut, css:{rotationY:0}}) );

   	if(hasDocumentMode) {
   	    if(isIE10){
   	      myTimeline.kill();
   	    }
   	}

}


I would also like to say a massive thank you as you've been a great help with all this! :D

Also if you dont want to have your animation run in IE10.. why not just wrap the IE10 check conditional around your code inside your window.load event? And check if not IE10:

window.onload = function(){
    
    // checks if browser is not IE10
    var docMode = document.documentMode,
        hasDocumentMode = (docMode !== undefined);
    
    if(!hasDocumentMode) {
        if(docMode !== 10){
                  
            var logo = document.getElementById("main_flip");
            var myTimeline = new TimelineMax({repeat:-1, yoyo:true, repeatDelay:6});
            myTimeline.append( new TweenMax.to(logo, 30, {ease:Elastic.easeInOut, css:{rotationY:1260}}) );
   	    myTimeline.append( new TweenMax.to(logo, 30, {delay: 6, ease:Elastic.easeInOut, css:{rotationY:0}}) );
        }
    }

}

Does that help?
