Appspot website not viewable on Internet Explorer

[senpai514]

the bottom half of the page does not load on IE browsers. I can view everything with Comodo Dragon, Safari, Firefox

Just thought I'd bring it up here in case others need to see it. How many folks cant properly get to the repositories and report bugs because they use IE and cant see the whole page?

Maybe also say what version of IE it is, as on the newest one in Win8 it's all right.

I don't have the new OS yet as I think many are still a system behind but not viewable for me on IE 11

Here's my experience with the same issue:

I'm running Windows 7. When I load battlescribedata.appspot.com on IE 11, the bottom part of the page with all the repositories fails to load. I only get the intro section, ending with the line "All our data files (and this website) are freely available on GitHub - you're welcome to fork us!" Everything below that is blank.

However, if I refresh the page, it loads correctly with all the repositories displaying correctly. It does this consistently - the first load up in IE 11 loads incompletely but upon refreshing, it works fine.

The page loads fine for me in Chrome on the first shot.

Hmm, using IE10 and setting the browser emulation (under developer tools), the site works fine under IE9 and above. I have fiddled about a bit though, so perhaps I inadvertently fixed this ;)

AngularJS (which the site is built using) does not guarantee support for IE8 and below. That's probably the issue.

refreshing the page does indeed then load the entire page when it first only half loads.

It does this even with Safari and the newest Chrome. But refreshing seems to get it to load, sometimes. Sure would be nice if it worked every time. I always have to tell new users to refresh once or twice to get it to show up. Maybe the javascript needs some kind of async delay or the rendering needs to be deferred just a bit longer after loading?

I keep meaning to put a loading spinner on there...
