[Athen] Question regarding Banner, IE 7, and Dragon NS

[Kilcommons,Cath]

Our portal had significant issues in its original form with IE7, and SCT
wrote a patch for our system, replacing the inline frames with tables.
The interface works better now but I try to avoid our portal unless I am
debugging it.  First time I tried it, I got an entire page filled with
boxes that read "This browser does not support inline frames. Click here
to view content in a separate window" .

I do not currently have a copy of Dragon, but you can access a demo of
the Colorado State Portal at http://rampoint.colostate.edu/.  Below the
login boxes are the demo links.  The biggest issues I have come across
with Dragon is getting to content that you cannot see without scrolling
to it, and with 
We actually keep "Back door" routes open to the various components
(WebCT, webmail, RamWeb) that are otherwise accessed through the portal.
We also have an additional login interface for students who need a more
accessible interface.

Got this from another listserv

This just came in from SunGard regarding IE7 and Banner compatibility.
The
basic gist is IE7 is not officially supported by SunGard at this time.
They
are in the process of testing and certifying IE7 with Banner, Luminis
and
the rest of their products. Testing is expected to run through the 1st
quarter of 2007.

What that means is we need to make sure that we do not install/upgrade
IE7
in the labs or personal workstations that may be used for Banner or
Luminus
(i.e. myAVC) until SunGard has certified it. Other colleges that have
already done internal testing of IE7 have reported mixed results with
Banner.

SunGard Higher Education Clients,

SunGard Higher Education is in the process of testing our UDC solutions
using Interent Explorer 7 Release Candidate 1.   Our testing will extend
through the first quarter of 2007, to include the upcoming releases of
Banner, Workflow, Luminis, and all other solutions.   While it is our
intent to provide IE7 support across the UDC, we will not make a formal
statement until each product has tested with the production version of
IE7.  Banner clients should be aware that Oracle has not yet committed
to
supporting IE7 on Forms 9i or 10g, which may limit our ability to
provide
support if any Oracle-specific issues are uncovered.  Neither SunGard
nor
Oracle are aware of any issues at this time.  Clients are encouraged to
actively manage the rollout of IE7 for their institutions, and to
communicate any issues to the Customer Support Center team.

Regards,

Richard

Hi everyone,

I have received a complaint from a colleague about a lack of
functionality between Banner 7, Internet Explorer 7, and Dragon NS 9.  I
do not have access to SCT Banner or would try this out myself, so is
there anyone else out there having success/failure with this
combination?

I know there are issues between IE 7 and DNS 9, but I am also trying to
figure out if there are compatibility issues between Banner and IE 7.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Take care,
Sean
