user interface aspects don't show up right or look right in IE 7
Hello, I just had a look and see initially that certain aspects of the Galaxy UI don't show up or don't look right in IE 7, e.g. in the history pane the underlying link on the name of each data object to expand it isn't there. Is IE 7 supported? I dislike IE and don't use it otherwise but am forced to use it in my environment as it's part of there standard client image and it is almost impossible to get another browser like Firefox installed for every user that will use Galaxy. best, Leandro
Hello Leandro, Galaxy is not currently compatible with IE7 or IE8 due to quirks in their DOM and Javascript implementations. We are working to add support for IE7/8, but this is time-consuming and hence it will take a while to get all tools/areas functional. If your team plans on using Galaxy, we strongly recommend moving to an alternative such as Safari, Firefox, or Chrome. Even so, the basic analysis workspace should display fine in IE, so the problem your report with the history pane is unexpected. We'll look into this - thank you for reporting it!

Folks who have to stay on IE for institutional reasons (I can't think of a reason why anyone else would) could be supported using Google Chrome Frame http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/ The galaxy crew would just need to add this tag to the <head> section of rendered pages: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1"> Or in their Apache config add a line like this: Header append X-UA-Compatible "chrome=1" Then any IE users who install the chrome frame plugin could keep IE and still get full galaxy functionality Details: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/chrome-frame-getting-started -- Ry4an Brase 612-626-6575 University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute for Advanced Computational Research http://www.msi.umn.edu
