IE8 IFrame Reload Icons Disappear

[sebascomeau]

I'm using Font-Awesome for my project and it's awesome. But I recently got an issue with iframes. When I trigger an iframe reload in my application, suddenly all icons disappear. It's only happening in IE8.

Can someone help me to fix this?

Check out my screenshots below...

It seems that IE8 has random issues with pseudo elements and/or font-face. I don't know if the source of your problem is the same of #954

Unfortunately we can't provide a proper solution... so it's actually labeled as "wontfix".

If you are using icons in the way specified by docs (<i class="fa fa-icon"></i> or span) you could try to get rid of the :before stuff and apply the icon content directly to the element (e.g: remove all :before from https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/less/icons.less and recompile fontawesome). Let me know if it helps

I'm leaving this open, if you can confirm it's the same issue then please close this

I don't think #954 it's the same problem because if I do a refresh of the window all icons show up again. It's the iframe that reload then the parent window's icons dissapear. How the iframe refresh make the parent window's icons dissapear. The parent window have not been refreshed or reloaded at all.

after that, i configure server's font response like this：

HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
res.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
res.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");

Also solved.

hope helpful and sorry for my english.

Unfortunately we weren't able to fix this random issues with IE8

I'm going to close here because IE8 is not supported by FA6
