Known issues with IE7 and ICON

Although IE7 works for most tools in the ICON, it is not yet officially supported. There are some known issues listed below:

  • The Equation Editor does not function in IE7.
  • The HTML Editor does not function as it should. Some buttons are missing and, at times, extraneous characters are added to pages created in the HTML Editor in IE7.
