    Is it just that it's been so long that I haven't posted one, or does the Article Contribution Center (article editor) not play well with IE11?

    I would say it doesn't play well with IE11. Lot's of things don't play well with IE11. Have you tried compat mode? Or another browser?

    To pile on, one of our vended solutions is having issues with IE11, so I would agree with this comment.

    There are more and more sites that just don't work with IE. I have been seeing more sites with messages about being optimized for Chrome or FF and no guarantee that it will work with IE.

    As somebody who has been working as web developer for 15+ years I can tell you the process currently is to write your site to work with all the "other" browsers, then go back and rewrite large portions of it so it will work with the abomination know as IE. 😉

    A big problem is that every company I've worked for mandates IE as its official browser. For internal sites, it HAS to work on IE. For a lot of external business sites too. I've worked places where a department says "but we use Chrome" and the official response is "We don't support that, use IE or don't access the site you need to do your job"

    It is sad that so many companies still have this mindset. We now install FF, Chrome and Exploiter as part of our standard image for every user. We even have lines in some of our help manuals that state using a browser other than IE for certain bugs. I can sort of understand the mindset of using a consistent browser but like much of our sql stuff that is dealing with the symptom instead of the problem. Of course since I don't do much for internal sites the stuff I write MUST work with all browsers. That is not limited to Windows desktop either. It MUST work on Windows, Mac, Linux etc on any browser people use. This causes some challenges with testing but to be a viable ecommerce site this is what it takes.
