An extension to raise an alert if Internet Explorer is not behaving itself

adapt-IE-Check

An extension to raise an alert if the wrong version of Internet Explorer is used or it has been configured to run in any mode other than 'Edge Mode'.

An alert will be raised if:

• The version of IE being used is less than the minimum supported version (defaults to 8 but can be changed)
• Enterprise Mode (IE11 only) is enabled
• Compatibility view is switched on
• Some form of compatibility mode is active (i.e. the 'document mode' is less than the actual version)

Mainly used in the Adapt Scorm Test but could be used in any course where there's a risk of IE doing one of the above.

In order to change any of the error messages or the minimum supported version of IE you'll have to edit js/adapt-IE-Check.js - if we were to store any of the values in JSON there's good chance Adapt wouldn't even be able to load them in some circumstances.

adapt-ie-check's Issues

doesn't work for IE11

Unfortunately this doesn't work for IE11 as it changes the user agent string when in a different document mode.

So, if you put IE11 into IE9 mode the user agent string will be:
"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C)"

Unfortunately this makes the Bowser library return the IE version as 9.0 rather than 11.00

Need to look at using something like https://github.com/Gavin-Paolucci-Kleinow/ie-truth to solve this

IE compatibility in Adapt V4

Since Adapt v4 is not working in compatibility view, can we put some pop up or alert for the learner for them to know thay the course will not work in compatibility view?

Also, I tried to use the adapt-IE-check plugin and it is not working when in compatibility view.
