Hi,

I'm under the gun here... we went with AngularJS under the notion it was supported in IE8. When I run the app we are getting

SCRIPT445: Object doesn't support this action
File: angular.min.js, Line: 84, Column: 219

I am using the latest build of AngularJS. I don't think IE8 likes the apply function.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

return e.apply ? function () {
var a = [];
q(arguments, function (b) {
a.push(d(b));
});
return e.apply(b, a);
} : function (a, b) {
e(a, null == b ? "" : b);
};

Same problem here, I've been googling for hours, implemented all the recommend solutions. Nothing worked, so I tried the homepage of AngularJS. It turns out that I get the exact same error there...
I'm testing with Windows 7, IE11 in IE8 document mode. The error is:
SCRIPT445: Object doesn't support this action
File: angular.js, Line: 9222, Column: 7

Ya you're right I get the same error there as well...

FYI I tested in versions 1.2.4 and 1.2.5

Can you please provide an example that reproduces this issue via plunker or similar?

angularjs.org was mentioned already, but if we had a plunker or fiddle with tiny app that also suffers from this issue in IE8 it would be faster for us to create a fix.

Hi, did you test on real IE8?
It seems to work there...

I had this issue and fixed it with

var console = console || {};

Not sure if specific to me or not.

The line that is referred to is the check whether console.log has the apply function (so we can use it later).
However, this check throws the mentioned error, even before calling the apply function (tested in the dev console of IE11 in IE8 mode, just enter console.log.apply without a function call).
We have that test for .apply there especially for windows. We could extend it with a try catch when we do the test itself, as the mentioned error is catchable.

Here is the updated jsfiddle with my ci build: http://jsfiddle.net/A59tX/2/show/
To test open it in IE11/10 in IE8 document mode (the last fiddle throws an error then, this no more)

In IE8 the result object
of calling `node.querySelectorAll` does not have a `hasOwnPropery`
function. However, it should be usable with `forEach`.

Related to angular#5400.

I opened your jsfiddle in IE8 document mode and still get the error...

That's interesting, I have the same problem here in the real IE8. But in IE11 in IE8 document mode your updated jsfiddle works like a charm!

I should have been more clear... I'm also using IE11 and running the jsfiddle in IE8 document mode and it fails with the same error.

@tbosch @petebacondarwin Remember that IEs<10 don't have the console object at all unless you open developer tools on the particular site. That can introduce tricky bugs that clients reproduce easily but devs "for some reason" don't. :-) Might that be the case here?

IE11 in IE8 doc mode does not fail for me with @tbosch's updated fiddle. I don't have a real IE8 to test but we do run IE8 in our CI tests so I would expect that this would be flagged there if it failed... If not then someone needs to write a unit test to cause it to happen.

For me neither, the fiddle is failing in the real IE8...

I've just checked on the real IE8 in a Windows XP VM and both fiddles work fine.

go to http://angularjs.org/ and put it in IE8 document mode and it will fail there as well...

I don't think those "emulated modes" are really supported by angular (since we don't test against them), or MS themselves (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn384051(v=vs.85).aspx)

Yeah, IE document modes should die in a fire, what it really creates is O(n^2) different IE versions. I hope they get completely removed in IE12 (IE11 still has document.documentMode === 11).

Anyway, considering @tbosch made it work in IE11 in IE8 doc mode and native IE8 doesn't experience the bug, I guess it can be merged & closed.

EDIT: document modes were deprecated by MS only starting from IE11 (after all these years they learned what most of use had known already for a long time).

Guess I'll need a VM just to test on IE8 then...

Seems the behavior is inconsistent though regardless.

Just a note:

  • don't open the jsfiddle without the show suffix, as this will open the
    jsfiddle editor, which does not work on ie8
  • angularjs.org includes other scripts (eg for full text search) that don't
    work with ie8

Ah, and for testing you need to open the ie dev tools first and then
reload...

Just to comment on this issue - we have an app in production that supports IE8, and we have not had a problem with this once we implemented window.console = window.console || {}.

Hi all,
just double checked in native IE8, IE10 in IE8 compat mode on Win7 and IE11 in IE8 compat mode on Win8. On native IE8 I tested with closed Dev Tools and open Dev Tools.

It works fine on all of those configurations!

By the way, my first jsfiddle used Angular 1.2.5 which still contained the bug / not my PR. Angular 1.2.6 does already contain the PR.

You can double check with this fiddle that is using Angular 1.2.6: http://jsfiddle.net/A59tX/4/show

Closing this now.

Hi,

No doubt jsfiddle/Codepen are best site(s) but both have abnormal behavior in IE8. I would recommend people that are still using IE8 to try the new online HTML editor.

For those who is still facing the issue, try adding the polyfill for console. It worked for me in IE 7 & 8.
