Hi,
Here are the warning and error (respectively) that that F12 Developer tools in
IE11 say about the page:
HTML1527: DOCTYPE expected. Consider adding a valid HTML5 doctype: "<!DOCTYPE
html>".
File: update-site, Line: 1, Column: 1
SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'load'
File: update-site, Line: 14, Column: 4
The problem is that unlike what the page implies in a comment (“Use the
standard DOM Level 2 technique, if it is supported”), according to an outdated
Mozilla documentation page: “document.load() is a part of an old version of the
W3C DOM Level 3 Load & Save module. Mozilla currently implements only the
load() method and the document.async property.” The Load and Save module
recommendation in turn says in section 1.3 Fundamental Interfaces:
“The interfaces within this section are considered fundamental, and must be
fully implemented by all conforming implementations of the DOM Load and Save
module.
A DOM application may use the hasFeature(feature, version) method of the
DOMImplementation interface with parameter values "LS" (or "LS-Async") and
"3.0" (respectively) to determine whether or not these interfaces are supported
by the implementation.”
Unfortunately the code on the page doesn’t check whether this badly-supported
and outdated DOM Level 3 API is implemented. It is interpreting support for DOM
Level 2 to mean support for both. Mozilla recommends using XMLHttpRequest: “As
of at least Gecko 1.9, this no longer supports cross-site loading of documents
(Use XMLHttpRequest instead).”

Have a nice day,

Hello,
One of our users reported the problem that the auto-generated update site
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/1.1/update-site/ cannot be
opened in IE11. I see that when this URL is opened in IE11 the page is blank.
When it's opened in FF then I can see everything like before - plug-ins and
their versions. It seems that the script that generates page content on-fly
isn't compatible with latest IE.
At the same time updates sites of other projects look differently -
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/updates/releases/
The questions are:
1. How should we generate update sites to get content that can be displayed on
all modern browsers?
2. Which update site format is up-to-date?
Any recommendations will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Igor Vinnykov
