GetVar() not supported in IE11 on Windows 7

Jan 02, 2014

While using Internet Explorer 11 (version 11.0.9600.16476) on Windows 7, GetVar() is not supported and giving error saying "Object doesn't support property or method GetVar" as var player = GetPlayer() doesn't returns an [object object] but it returns it as [object DispHTMLEmbed]. In older versions var player = GetPlayer() return an object [object object].

However on Windows 8.1, exactly same version of IE 11 (version 11.0.9600.16476) doesn't have any such issue.


Please let me know if there is a way to fix it.

Thanks

Manoj

The problem is caused by IE variable that is equal to "false" if you use IE 11.

The solution I found is:

  1. Open story.js file (you can find it in story_content folder)
  2. Find GetPlayer function
  3. Edit it like this:

   function GetPlayer() {

      var player = null;

      player = document.getElementById("player");

      return player;

   }

   4. Save edited story.js file
