IE11 stuck on "Please wait..."

[zimbozambo]

I have some docs being served by IIS (Windows server).
I have managed to get them working on Chrome and Edge (a little iffy), however - IE11 just hangs at the Please wait... screen:

Hi @zimbozambo

Check the console to see if there is JavaScript error (I'm guessing there is). Hit F12 to view the developer tools, or toggle them under IE11's gear menu.

If you are using any plugins, disable those until you are able to get the site working. If this solves the issue, re-enable plugins one-by-one until you find the one causing the issue.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your response, I will give that a try tomorrow

How did you get it to work on IIS?

I've been trying to get it to work on IIS for a while. Any help would be awesome!

Hi Sorry for delay. @jhildenbiddle For some reason, it works now. Strange!

@marcinius You need to add something to your webconfig file to allow iis to use the markdown files.

<configuration> <system.webServer> <staticContent> <remove fileExtension=".md" /> <mimeMap fileExtension=".md" mimeType="text/markdown" /> </staticContent> </system.webServer> </configuration>
