Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I tried to connect to Microsoft but i was redirected here.
My app brokes when i turned on a site which has js script.
That scripts has a few functionality, e.g.:
-Operations on xml and xsl files -> downloading and converting to html with javascript
-Transformation xml-xsl (I ve got turned on ActiveX).
-Operations to detect which browser is turned on:
in new way:
"    if (window.ActiveXObject || "ActiveXObject" in window) {    
        actBrowser = INTERNET_EXPLORER;"
-Getting data from cgi scripts (data stored i xml)

Have you got some suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,

see IE Compatibility changes by version

additionally IE10/11 has user configurable ActiveX blocking.

If you are on a corporate network, use Enterprise Site Mode lists or x-ua meta or headers to force your site to use a lower emulation mode in IE11.

or

f12>Debug tab, select "Break on all exceptions"...without closing the dev tool, return to your site, and refresh the page and any scripting and markup errors and warning will be listed in the Console tab (normally they are suppressed when the dev tool is not visible or "Do not break on exceptions" is selected in the dev tool.

F12>Emulation tab, change to a lower emulation mode (the page will refresh). Observe any errors listed in the console tab, repeat the test plan until you have chosen an emulation mode that does not produce any errors output. Use that emulation mode for the site in your Enterprise Site Mode lists or your x-ua meta or header.
