Next button won't work in quiz when accessed through Citrix

Hi, Lionel.

It sounds like there is something unique about IE within your Citrix environment.  There are a couple of things we can check.

First, let's check your Compatibility View settings:

1. Click the gear icon in Internet Explorer (or click the Tools menu if it's visible), then choose Compatibility View settings.
2. If the website where your Rise course is hosted is listed in Compatibility View, select it and click Remove.
3. Also, if you're using an intranet, such as SharePoint, to host your Rise course, temporarily uncheck Display intranet sites in Compatibility View.
4. Click Close, then launch your Rise course again. If the page is still blank, try the following method.

Use the Developer Tools to Switch Document Modes:

1. Click the gear icon in Internet Explorer (or click the Tools menu if it's visible), then choose Developer Tools. They'll open across the bottom of your browser.
2. On the right side of the developer bar, you should see an icon that looks like a computer monitor and a smartphone with a number beside it. When you hover over the icon, a tooltip will say Document mode (with a number). Click the icon to display a list of Internet Explorer version numbers.
3. Select version 11, then launch your Rise course again.

If your Rise course continues to misbehave in Internet Explorer after trying the methods above to fix it, let us know.  Thanks!

Thanks Justin, we'll try all of that and see what happens. 

Thanks soooooo much. Holding thumbs.

Hi Justin,  I've just tried this and found that the site isn't listed in the compatibility list and although the About tells me we're using IE11, the Developer toolbar shows only Edge (Default), 10 and below in the list .  Could this be the issue?  
Regards  Lionel

Hi, Lionel.

Is Edge the currently selected mode?  If so, it sounds like IE is OK, and this may be a Citrix problem.

Citrix can be unfriendly to media-rich content.  Do you have a Citrix administrator in-house, and if so, can you demonstrate how the content behaves one way in Desktop IE 11, and another way in Citrix IE 11?

Hi Justin,

Thanks, yes we do have a Citrix Admin in house and he has been shown the issue.  He is apparently already looking into the Compatibility issue you highlighted.  Not sure though why the list shows only Edge (which is the default and doesn't show 11 and down.  Also, when I check the IE version we're running through about as mentioned it says it's 11.

I agree that it's probably Citrix, but because it's a bit of a road block I loath to just leave it with our Systems team - but I may have to.   

Sounds good, Lionel.

Please keep us posted on your team's findings, and we're happy to help you dig a bit further as well.

OK, so we've dug around a bit more and have discovered that our IE version shows as Edge for all of the external sites we visit, looks like it defaults to lower versions when we access SharePoint (but this might be because of some component we use).  Still can't figure out why the browser shows Edge when it's about tells us it's IE 11.  It's lying to the sites it's visiting - not sure how or why.

Our systems guys have tried to figure it out and this is what they had to say:

"I have also checked the settings in IE to see if there is anything that may cause it not to be working but have not found anything there either.

 To me it seems like it is not rendering the page correctly within the Citrix environment.

 Do you know if they have tested this within a Citrix XenApp 7.12 environment on Windows 2012R2 Servers with IE11?"

For now we've changed our quiz's to not show the correct answers after question submission, removing the need for the next button, but it is a work around.

Thanks so much for the specs on your Citrix Server, Lionel.  That really helped!

I was able to reproduce the problem using IE 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 Server, and I've asked our team to take a look at a possible fix for this.  It doesn't seem to be a Citrix-specific problem--likely a uniqueness in the Server 2012 edition of IE 11.

We'll take a look and keep you posted on our findings.  Thanks again for reporting this!

You're most welcome Justin.  I'm glad you were able to reproduce.  Holding thumbs you're team will find a solution as this is proving to be quite a stumbling block and may result in us postponing the release of these courses.  Thanks for the stellar support.

Hey Justin,

Any chance your team have come up with anything on this.  Right now we're only able to use a quiz as a test and not as a formative exercise for users to test their existing knowledge, because we can't set the quiz to reveal answers as the Next button then appears o allow for forward progress. 

Kind regards

Lionel

Hi, Lionel.

This is still in the queue for our team to take a look.  Is it possible to install Google Chrome on your Windows 2012 R2 Server and let learners use that as a workaround?

Hi Justine,

I'm not sure how but I missed your last response.

We gave up on the quiz result and of course the Next button issue was then no longer an issue.  Now we are having issues with Quiz results where learners are answering correctly but they still get a fail result - this is intermittent.

To fix this, and after a bit of quick testing I turned answer results on and this fixed the issue.  Now it appears that we might have the same issue as we'd had previously.

Any ideas how we can get around this?

Chrome isn't a great solution for our Citrix environment because it doesn't play nicely with SharePoint.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
